Hi, I know that the Fleer company was purchased by UD I think in 2004 or 2005 and UD made a Fleer Greats of the Game product for 2005-06. What happened to Fleer GOTG for 2006-07? Shouldn't they be up to 2007-08 right now? If so, why did they skip 2006-07? I checked the fleer.com website and there is no set for 2006-07 or any talks about making a 2007-08. Does anybody know anything about this? Thank you for your timeimage

    Hey guys, I can't belive nobody has any info on this? Please let me know if you know anything about this or have any ideas on why they wouldn't make a set for 06-07 or 07-08? Why was 05-06 the first and only year they came out? I know they have other years before but that was when Fleer owned it but know UD ownes Fleer and their only GOTG set was 2005-06 and why not follow the next year and this year? Any ideas? Thanks againimage

    Do you work for UD? If so, would you know why? Any idea? I mean, it was a great product so I don't see why they would stop making them. People are still going out to buy this product, I have heard it is pritty popular with collector's so I don't get why they didn't make it for 06-07 and 07-08. Thanks again.

    They did it to upset you. But don't let them win—be strong and keep your chin high.

    I grabbed that from UD's page. They may have better answers to the questions many of us have.

    Let us know what you find out. I liked the product as well. The modern basketball stuff always had on-card autos, instead of those stupid stickers. I always thought the autograph selection was good as well.

    It seems like Upper Deck tried to replace the "Greats of the Game" themed set with their "Chronology" brand--which had some pretty cool cards/autos of past greats and HOFers (incorporated into the same set with modern players). I guess we'll have to wait and see if "Greats of the Game" makes a return, or if they will stick the "Chronology" product instead.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    Oh ok I see, maybe thats what they did but why not make both? LOL. I do like both products but the Chronogoly of course has more stuff. Hope they make it again and yes Reese I will find out what they say and let you knowimage
