Not sure if the link to the good Doctor's blog will work...

It does for me...if not, let me know and I'll steal the pics from his blog.

These cards look SICK...that Charlie Conacher card is absolutely gorgeous!

Looks as any other year since 2004-05.

Even though I've never collected ITG the stuff looks nice, I love the Stanley cup six swatch card, that Conacher is very nice too.

very nice stuff

any idea on the pricing point this year or is it up to those guys who mark it up in value so much...

Not a big fan of stickers but at least we get real genuine authentic autos, not to mention the correct autos of the players on the cards......

A bigger travesty is a company using a "cut auto" of a person who happens to have the same name as the person the company claims it is supposed to be. I think you get the point, that $1000 cut auto is actually a $1 auto because they used the wrong auto.

Triple Crown Line Autograph.....TIM WANT!

Love everything so far...except the sticker autos. I just hate sticker autos in packs that are $100+.

Not just stickers, but stickers behind sealed hard plastic. Between the packaging, the sticker autographs, and the number of cards without player pictures, I can't shake the feeling that Ultimate just feels rather distant.

One of my favorites to chase every year......

Oh boy...... this stuff looks stacked!!!

Can't wait for this to come out! It's always a lot of fun to build some of the sets.

Boy do they need to hire a new design team.

UM consistently manages to provide some of the most impressive, as well as least impressive cards each year. Vintage cut auto, with memorabilia, and player head shot? AWESOME!

Sticker autos, and cards without photos.....not awesome. In general, UM is always a solid product, but from this side of the cash register, at least to me, it seems like it's almost a great product.

Looks Awesome! Love the vintage!

Boy do they need to hire a new design team.

Hate to say it cause I love what Dr. Price brings to the hobby but I agree.

You can only do so much without a lisence and it starts to show

 

[creasecollector]

The look of the vintage pieces looks really great! Makes for some great cards

I reserved most of my spending for ITG products in 10-11, but that pukey brown- green/ baby food / copper colour is just not working for me, and I'm seeing a lot of it. Might skip UM11 this year, but there's lots of older UMs to soak up at the Expo!!
