Thinking about buying a box of.......

UD Legends....anyone heard of anything good or bad from that yet? And by the way all I sold my case od UD Exquisite to a local collector.

Are you going to sell that box after you buy it and sit on it for two weeks also????

Caroncollector

If I want to...is there a law that says I have to but it and crack it right away....I don't think so, so i will do what I please with it.

my box was great. check out my post in the other forum. ok so I didn't pull a Lebron or Melo RC but my main auto was good and my draft pick redem. was #1 so that definitely made me happy.

I bought a box yesterday myself. Bill Laimbeer auto an Gilbert Arenas auto... #1 draft pick redemption though. BUt they are only selling in the $20 range on ebay...maybe once bk season rolls around it'll pick up.

I'm losing interest in 04 Basketball in a hurry!! I picked up a box of 03/04 SPx and 03/04 SP Authentic and got absolutely nothing. I am done with the Basketball product for this year (especially UD). I'll be looking forward to football or baseball.

What's left that looks good in baseball and what will be the 'hot' football product in your opinion?

In BB
Topps Originals is very intriguing

Leaf Certified Materials is usually a nice product


In FB
SP Game Used might actually be good this year..but I'll wait til others rip a few boxes before I jump in. I like the Rookie Exclusives auto concept they are carrying over from BK. That should be a big hit.

Donruss Classics , if anything like the baseball product should be a big hit.

Obviously SPx, SPAuthentic and Contenders are always big winners.

And lucky for us, all of these come out this month! I better start saving.

I agree with you about SP Game Used FB. I actually liked last years version too, once it dropped in price a bit. But according to UD, this years should have more potential - read this press release:

Those hot box cases have "box searching" written all over it. Does anyone who actually buys a single box of this junk off Ebay, actually expect that they may get a hot box? Never! You'll just see tons of these hot boxes advertised for sale on Ebay. The junky boxes will be sold as a full, sealed box only, at shows.

Check out Fleer Sweet Sigs, Donruss LEather & Lumber, and Fleer Nat'l Pasttime. They all look good at the presale prices.
