What do you think about UD Ultimate???

[brisco10]

I personally think they did pretty good job. I have cracked a lot of product this year and I was scared this product was going to be SPa two just at a much higher price point. This is the first Upper Deck product I felt had some value and some thought put into it.

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how solid the product is. The Jumbo patches /35 have some great swatches and the rc patches and autos are very well done! The hard signed autos were expected in such a high end product but UD could've used stickers and got away with it but they stuck with hard signed which looks great! I plan on picking up a bunch of singles of various Sharks because UD did a KICK Arse job on this year's stuff!
Just my 4 cents!

I haven't opened any, but they have some very sharp-looking cards, hard-signed autographs, and there have been some amazing looking swatches on some of the cards.

Ken, I think it's a great product and a pretty decent value for the $$$ I paid for my boxes. I would give it an A-. I would have given it an A+ if they had a few more of today's top stars in the Auto sets like Forsberg, Yzerman, Sakic, Jagr, etc.... Other than that I am really impressed. That's my $.02. Mike

PS- I didn't vote in the poll because none of the options really expresed how much I like the stuff.

Compared to a lot of the product that we've seen this year - it's been a pretty good value. In my box, I didn't feel cheated - now when you compare it to RU and SPA - it surpasses it by far.

They're improving. . .
It only took them 11 months of an exclusive license and countless products to finally put out a high-quality product.

I'm still a bit disappointed they're using photoshoot jerseys in such a high-end product... especially since an entire season has passed.

Also. . . the number of solid white patches (not jerseys) is very discouraging.

However, this is a winner when compared to the other products they put out this year.

I won't be breaking any of it.

I may pick a few hard-signed Habs autographs.

As usual with UD products, the GU doesn't have special appealing with interesting themes like ITG, but it is better than what Pacific was doing usually.

Is Gretzky in this product at all? Even base? Just interested. -Mike

It's not bad. There's an attempt to deliver value in a box with this product. The player mix for the jerseys/patches is fairly solid as well, though a few stinkers are mixed in. Swatch selection's fairly good...but again, the odd lame-o snuck in (Ultimate Patch #/35 Mike Richards....and it's all white. Yay.)

Overall not a bad product. I give it a B.

Overall I like it more then i figured I would. Its a tough break more often then not and gets pricey quick. Most of the cards are very well done, huge rookie selection hurts yet another higher end product.

To open: C- (I dont want a paul ranger rc in my $90 pack)
To Buy Singles: A (some nice looking cards, and patches are pretty for the most part)

Really nice looking singles and looks like they actually made an effort to make some of the swatches look nice for a change. Good stuff!

Absolutely LOVE the looks of this stuff. Really, theres not a sub set I dont like.

The autos are sweet (and harssigned!), the patches are awesome, and heck even the jerseys are nice looking.

As singles and a player collector this is by FAR the nicest stuff produced this year.

Cracking it- B
Singles I want to own- A or even A+
