I'll reserve judgement until there are more pics/details about Fleer Showcase but I was hoping that that would be done with after Retro...

I was just looking at some pics of the upcoming UD Black Basketball. Looks outstanding. I wish they'd bring back Black Hockey.
 
I think these are going to be beautiful in person.

The one-per-box Hot Prospects auto patches are coming back, that's interesting. Back when I first started collecting again in 2007-08 they were fun little pulls even though I was never much of a rookie guy.
 
I've always been a sucker for Ultra. Loved it in 2008 (or 2009) when there were EX (numbered to jersey and the inverse) as well as a slew of other cool rare inserts (Jambalaya), jersey/patches, rookie redemptions and some seemingly impossible to find Fresh Inks autos. In those previous years I just wish they put some effort into insert designs.

Anyways, the cards look a little dull now but I think it's obvious the foil and any reflective/refractor type details were omitted.
 
I really want to see the SPx and Ice buy back auto checklist. 96-97 SPx cards were so cool. I still have the regular and gold Lindros.
