07-08 The Cup?

[flobert1205]

I just talk to someone regarding the Cup and it has yet to be determined if it will be made. Word is that they may be calling it something different, or making a product "comparable" to it.

Might go for a case of Superlative if it isn't made.

[solt0131]

Believe me, it will be made. They pull this stuff every year as not to dampen their sales on SPA and Ultimate.

[flobert1205]

I hope you're right solt! I've been waiting for months for it!

[Vintage Collector]

They would be idiots to not make the CUP in 07/08!

?????

Uh, oh! There might not be the Cup in 07/08. lol

[hockeyjunkie99]

Well, at least I won't be buying any SPA or UC!!1

[flobert1205]

Yeah, me either HJ!

I wasted so much cash on that last year!

[matts_cardz]

maybe it will be called "Whats in the Cup"?!

[flobert1205]

HAHA!!! Where's a mancos post when you need it?!?!

[Vintage Collector]

If you guys are serious I would take the Montreal Canadiens, but I gotta figure the slots should be closer to $60 depending on when the case price is announced.

UD needs the Cup. This is the time of year when ITG KILLS Them! Can't wait for superlative. Got my order form today!

[flobert1205]

Its coming out, UD doesn't want to hurt SPA and UC sales before the Cup...you probably won't see presale info until May or June

[flobert1205]

This is coming from a very reliable source, too.

[frozenntimesports]

Anyone who pulls a Carey Price The Cup RC #'/99 please PM before you send it to the bay.

So flo, care to divulge any more of your inside information about this??? Or are you keeping this one to yourself??

[flobert1205]

Unfortunately no, I had to beat it out of them to get that. I've been working on getting an answer for a month

[Kent Clements]

Put me in for the Cincinnati Stingers !!!

And Steve, it is coming out in early June.:)!

[Vintage Collector]

Same time as 07/08 Exquisite Basketball! Uh oh!

[flobert1205]

Put me in for the Cincinnati Stingers !!!

And Steve, it is coming out in early June.:)!

Is that word from UD?

[Kent Clements]

Yes !!

But we all know how dates are sometimes (????) changed.

[MrSnyder]

Cup and Ultimate Memorabilia usually come out pretty close to each other, used to be mid-late June. However, I saw that ITG has UM9 coming out in August. Wonder if UD will wait and compete or put Cup out before?

[flobert1205]

I would think that they would want to get it out before August because people can spend all of their cash (HJ I'm looking in your direction, mine as well) on it before UM9 comes out. Also, it would probably be a good idea to release between the releases of Superlative and UM9. I would try to get my hands on it quick before it dries up.

Just my dos pesos.

[hockeyjunkie99]

From my understanding I still want to say that ITG Superlative has superseded ITG Ultimate Memorabilia. We've talked about this in a different thread. Upper Deck Doesn't want ITG using the word "Ultimate" because of Ultimate Collection.

[flobert1205]

But hasn't UM been produced longer than UC? UD better have cut ITG a good check for that!

[hockeyjunkie99]

You would think something like that should have happened. But then again UD has got the market locked up in hockey!!!

[flobert1205]

Maybe I'll throw my money at Superlative instead of the Cup and support the little guy....

but I like the Cup so much....Stupid monopolies!

I'm trying to payoff as much of my CC's off to dip into the cup. I think the Superlative break will take care of my Superlative fix regardless of keeping any of the cards or not. Just having them pass through my hand will be more than satisfying!!

[hockeyjunkie99]
