####### I hope I get one of only 5 Golden Tickets #######

Hi All

I haven't bought a box of cards in God knows how long, I like buying singles, but after reading this Upper Deck article it got me thinking of buying a box of cards, and maybe even do a live box break video.

Heres the LINK to the UD website!

There is only 5 "Golden Tickets" out there, kinda like that money with the goldern tickets in the chocolate bar, you know the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Is anybody else buying a box of cards for this reason? I think its pretty cool, and it brings lots of fun into collecting

Nice job of quality assurance on their website:

"When 2007-08 Exquisite Basketball arrives in stores this summer, collectors will be blown by how far the product line has come over the last five years and how exciting the content has become"

If a Golden Ticket gets you blown, I guess I want one.

Haha, funny stuff Allan. I stopped falling for those marketing ploys. With the whole "world's greatest pack search" and "golden ticket" garbage, it's an absolute waste of money IMHO. Especially with what they put in the non-winner boxes (which is the huge majority), nothing but 80's and 90's garbage in horrible condition.

I take it that I shouldn't buy a box? Your making it sound like its impossible

Do you know if any of these golden tickets have sold on ebay? I searched and couldn't find one. I guess this is one of those things you just don't sell, people would want to go there themselves, and I don't blame them

Its not impossible Gio, I mean if you have time to swing by Wal-Mart and pick up a blaster box you may as well go ahead an pull a few golden tickets. They keep them next to the winning lottery tickets and bags of tostitos with the Super Bowl tickets in them. Pick me up a few while you are there.

I look at it like this, you definitley have no shot if you do not buy .

I say it's worth it , I like buying them anyway , so for me , it's like a possible bonus .

I couldn't care less what anyone thinks .

If they don't want to buy, I have more of a chance .

I would probably sell the golden ticket if I found one, because I wouldn't have the time to go there anyway

It would probably fetch like 10K???

If you like the product, then buy a box and you can't lose. If your buying it just to get a ticket, its going to be like playing the lotto, odds are you won't win.

Even in horse racing , the 3 legged horse eventually comes in first .

The 100 to 1 shot is an exciting horse to bet on .

Especially if you know something about the horse that not many know about on that particular day , on that particular track , at that particular time of day .

What's that got to do with this ??

Probably not much , just the odds get even every once in a while .

I was never one to like to play the favorites game, you might win, but you don't win much unless you put up a ton, then you stand to lose a ton too , when the number 2 comes in .

GET UP THERE WITH THAT 7 !

COME ON 7 !

Reminds me of that movie , The Pope of Greenwich village , where Eric Robers has a tip on a Horse called Starry Hope .

That was a great flick . . .

Charlie ! they cut off my thumb Charlie !

They cut off my f&^%$in thumb !

I definetly see what your saying, but I think buying a box of cards would give me a 5 out of a million odds, and with the lotto more like 1 out of a trillion!

Sure with the lotto you win millions, but that golden ticket would be worth a million to me, or at least I would try to make my pack contain a million dollars worth of cards

I will take your advice and buy the best box that would best fit my card needs, just in case I don't get that ticket lol

Thanks!

'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day

gio, you'd have better luck getting a golden shower than a golden ticket.

Golden shower? I don't think their giving away any of those

GOODLIEU

I think they post the odds on these sets and the chance of pulling the inserts on the back of the packs?
