Goudey baseball could be a sleeper

With autos of Dice-K, Michael Jordan, TIGER WOODS, Sidney Crosby, Emmitt Smith, Gordie Howe, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, John Wooden, Ladainian Tomlinson, Mia Hamm, Peyton Manning, etc. Some fun ones to chase. Of course, this is from the sell sheet and we all know how UD can mislead.

I think the Tiger auto alone will help this one float if some really exist. Thoughts?

F UD cards. go with a sure thing, spend a few hundred bucks on an UD certified memorabilia auto.. at least you know you'll get the auto you want LOL.

but i understand the chase. I'm just as much of a gambler as the next degenerate, but buying upperdeck is almost like playing russian roulette, except after you're done ripping to find out you got shafted, you'll wish you won russian roulette!

After the Spectrum scam, I will wait on all UD BB products to see who is actually in the checklist.

UD is a loser 9 out of 10 times. This may be the 1 in 10 but not worth the risk. They are trying to copy the success of the Topps retro releases and I have little confidence they will be able to deliver.

Tim you are not the first person I have heard this opinion from. My hobby shop friend says hates UD but thinks this could be a good product. Provided UD sticks with the planned checklist. This is obviously UD's version of A & G so they need to get it right if they want to compete.

Where is the information/detail on this? Kinda like Sportkings, these "mixed" products may be creating a whole new genre of collectors!

Anyone know what the price point is? If it's available at retail, I will probably get into it pretty heavy. I like retro sets, and I love the idea of cards other than baseball players.

For me, give me an Eiffel Tower over an ARod. I just don't care about any veteran baseball player at all. ARod has hundreds of cards every year. The Eiffel Tower has had what? Three?

Then again, since I sell most everything I pull, make it an ARod for me.
