I know plenty of people have been going nuts on the potential of product and rookies to come out this year. I couldnt wait till stuff came out and then I didnt bother to open till SPX came out. I got my case at $95 a box and bought two more boxes. In all I got 20 auto/jersey rookies in 16 boxes and all were good except three and they were two colored common auto/jersey rookies. Other than that I have been buying H&P and have had more great boxes than bad. I wanted to see ITG Signature Series and Parkhurst Rookie again, but four more years wont cut it for me. I cant talk retirement, but Bowman makes some great products in baseball. Maybe a change of course is in my future till UD makes a quality brand again. Oh and ITG gets out of the five year fighting major for being a good card company. That would be a good tee shirt.
Upper Deck is like a 16 year old who is given a Porshe or Ford Festiva. They have one of the nicest gifts to use and they beat it up and run it into the ground and have no feelings in return. So what product will be a quality best bang for your buck this year is the question now ? To me SPX (early spx) has been the only one in my eyes and H&P.
I know alot of people are blowing out their credit cards or abnk accounts on this years product and not getting anything in return. Thats too bad. Maybe just spend the money on singles and such even though that pack rush feels soooo good when you get something nice. Or Upper Deck can insert medications or talk to your doctor about getting a medication for nausea and vomiting. Zofran,Phenergan,Ketorolac, and Zantac to name a few. This will help with that feeling after spending $130-$200 dollars on a box of cards or more and you get that upset stomach feeling and ask "why did I spend $30 on a pack of SP Game Used and i got a sweet $8 jersey". I thing we all know that feeling and it's happening more this year than others. H&P makes me feel like going out and getting Mexican after a box break. I dont get that sick feeling from them. Maybe I have a allergy to Upper Deck ?????
