UD Masterpieces - what a beautiful set

WOW - bought a box of these last night and instantly fell in love. Think I'm gonna propose later this afternoon.
I know we haven't known each other for long but I feel the time is right.

Scans don't really do them justice. The Dice-K and the Mets 1969 are both #/50
autos are on card and the action shots look incredible.
Shame it's only a 90 card set

    Zep are you saying that you bought a box of these already and didn't pull a 1/1 yet? Wow you're slipping.
  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    LOL not yet just 2 #/50s

    won't be able to stop myself from picking up a couple more today though.

    Atleast I know that going in image

    Box 1 down - decent
    only #d cards were the Chambliss and Kennedy both # to 99
    The Ruth 5x7 boxtopper is sweet.
    The Gwynn GU has dirts stains on it

    if you're seeing a red x, it's comcasts problem. The've been messed up for a month now.
    Thought I had the solution but it's still screwy
  • I posted last week about these and pretty much have the same thoughts. Beautiful set, nice composition, good selection of players. Not quite as nice as A&G but light years better than 07 Turkey Red.

    As fate would have it, I just bought 5 retail packs from target. Two are twice as thick as the rest. Here's a "live" pack-by-pack breakdown.

    Pack #1
    Chien Ming Wang, Hanley Ramirez, Bruce Sutter, Troy Tulowitzki

    Pack #2
    Billy Butler, David Wright, Babe Ruth, Chipper Jones

    Pack #3
    Carlton Fisk, Victor Martinez, Howie Kendrick, 2004 Red Sox

    Pack #4 "fat"
    Bill Mazeroski, Alex Gordon, thick UD.com discount card, Roger Maris, Roberto Clemente

    Pack #5 "fat"
    Reggie Jackson, Ichiro, thick UD.com discount card, Justin Morneau, John F Kennedy


    So, no pulls. Just some nice base cards. How much are hobby packs going for?
    Nolan Ryan & Edgar Martinez are my favorite players...

    Bought 1 pack today for fun.

  • kmnortonkmnorton Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭
    Yup, I also think the set is great. I bought 1 pack and against my better judgement and having to suspend my dislike of UD products, I was at Target tonight and bought an entire Retail box. Still looks great and it looks like I am 3 cards short of the set.

    Zep, not any bias here, but what can I do to pry the Black Cobb from your collection? I've always loved that picture of Cobb playing hard and fair.

    I pulled a sweet Manny Ramerez (sp.?) Jersey Game Used that I'd part with if someone wants to buy it, or make a trade of some sort? I am always looking for new Frank Thomas cards? Would be happy with about any trade proposal?

  • I bought a couple of packs. These are nice cards! The artwork sure beats the Island-of-Dr.-Moreau Perez artwork.

    I'm going to put this set together. Anyone want to do a trade list?

    It looks like Topps Gallery got it on with Diamond Kings. Do we really need a dozen different colors of framed borders?


  • << <i> Do we really need a dozen different colors of framed borders? >>



    Yeah, that was the only thing I found disappointing with the set. 183 parallel framed sets, 47 of which are different shades of green.

    Just pulled a redemption for the Griffey Jr signed box-topper. Sweetness!!

    That's gonna look real nice signed
  • I just bought 2 blasters and got all base cards. image
  • Here's my trade list if anyone wants to start trading.



    Need base: 11, 58, 71, 80, 84, 90


    Have base to trade/sell ($1 ea delivered for the first 3, 75c ea delivered 4 or more):
    1 x2, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 30 x2, 31, 33, 35 x2, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49
    50, 52, 55, 59 x3, 60, 63, 66, 68, 73, 76, 79 x2, 81, 82, 86, 87, 89
  • I love these cards. I picked up three blaster boxes at wal mart tonight. All base cards, but that is ok, it still gets me started with this set. I know people out there love the Allen & Ginter cards but for my money I'll take these cards. Once I get these sorted I will list what I have doubles of to trade.
  • Guys,

    I was at a show on Saturday and picked up 5 packs. I hardly ever buy any modern stuff, but these caught my eye. While they are beautiful, I have no intentions of putting a set together, so if anybody needs any, I have: 28, 30, 46, 50, 55, 68 & 73. Just PM me if you need any of these numbers.

    David

    Edited to remove the cards that are gone
  • Absolutely love this set.

    Blackborder...I'll PM over the next few days with some trade possibilities. I'll be putting this set together as well.

    The trick is to right click the pick (properties), then cut and paste the link into the browser and view the pic directly. Then go back to the thread and bingo, all the pics will appear. It's like you have to wake up the comcast link or something. Weird but it works.

    Zep - I'm having the same Comcast problems; like you, I've noticed the problem over the past month or so (ever since they "upgraded" their servers to allow their users more storage space for their personal web pages - some upgrade). I finally gave up and have started uploading my images on a Photobucket account. You may want to do the same.

    Beautiful cards, by the way. I probably won't be buying any packs, but may go ahead & pick up a set on the Bay. Is it a 90-card set only? Do the 90 cards include short prints, or are the SPs part of an extended set?

    No SP's as far as I know, but there are several framed parallel sets.

    The guy in the local paper reviewed this set today. He gave it an A+. He includes his box break too.
