Well, I broke down and bought a box of these today. I like the look of the cards.
Was not real pleased with the Swisher auto. I had seen that card before and thought it was a stupid scribble for an auto. All of these are for trade except the Braun. If Lawnmower man sees this he can have the Emmitt if he pm's me. I like Milwaukee Braves and Brewers for trade. The Russell Martin is 3/8 for you Dodger fans.

I am collecting all of the SR autos (except for the Tiger for obvious reasons)...That jordan would be COOOL if it was the signed one. If anyone gets any autos for the SR they want to move, give me first shot!
I haven't ripped any new product in a long time but I broke down and did a couple boxes. I really enjoyed myself and I hit some good stuff including a Chipper Jones auto and a Kobe mini #7/8. I want to put together a set of the mini retired players cards so if you have any you want to sell let me know. Anyone know how many there are?? Someone have a checklist??
It is beginning to look like UD is pulling the same crap as they did with the 2007 goudey. I have a sneaky suspicion that they dont have all the frickin autos again?!
Why else do you suppose all the same autos show up in SPURTS? You would think if they had ALL of the autos in the checklist, that you would see a more random selection of ALL of them, instead of 20 of the same card showing at a time?
Seems like a scam and possible class action suit, if they do not have all the autos and are "RANDOMLY" inserting all of them in cases???
Short-printed autographs from Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Gordie Howe and Tiger Woods highlight the ‘Sport Royalty’ lineup
North Las Vegas, NV (August 1, 2008) – Once again Upper Deck has pulled out all the stops to ensure that this year’s Goudey Baseball release is the best trading card collection of its kind. Averaging one memorabilia card, one hard-signed autograph card and seven “Mini 1934 Goudey-Sized Parallel” cards per box, 2008 Goudey Baseball promises to be an exciting product launch for sports fans everywhere.
Beyond the brand’s name and historical significance, driving this year’s Goudey Baseball release will once again be the “Sport Royalty” subset and its diversified autographed inserts. With signed cards from many of the most talented athletes in the world, Upper Deck continues to push the envelope when it comes to nailing down superior content. Included as part of the mix of Sports Royalty autographed cards are high-flying NBA star LeBron James, Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast Kerri Strug, NHL superstar Sidney Crosby and MLB flame-thrower Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Several short-printed autographs appear as part of the coveted "Sport Royalty" and "Goudey Graphs" lineups.

In addition, collectors can come across cool “Goudey Cut Signature” cards sporting the scrawls of deceased superstars such as NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt and MLB Hall-of-Famers like Joe DiMaggio, Warren Spahn and Willie Stargell. Loved by traditional hobbyists and set builders, the 2008 MLB Goudey launch will excite collectors everywhere with its outstanding variety of short prints and variations.
“The Goudey name is an important one in the annals of our industry,” said Jason Masherah, Upper Deck’s Senior Product Manager. “We’re trying to preserve the integrity of the Goudey legacy while we add some exciting inserts and parallels to the launch. All in all, collectors young and old will no doubt like what they see.”

I opened one box and really like the Sport Royalty cards. Kind of confusing all the different variations, but I think I might just go after the black back ones since I pulled a Nicklaus and Utley black back. I have a Strug regular SR and Mike Schmidt and Dan O'Brien mini to trade if (as well as any other base/SP regular sized cards) anybody is opening and not doing the SR portion.
Who needs the Hamilton? I have one that I can let go of.
I opened over a box of this stuff and I like it. I would be interested in trading for any Sport Royalty cards of the Olympians and non-major sports people. If anyone is interested I have some of the mini parallel cards that I don't want. I have:
Johan Santana #13/88 Carl Crawford #36/88 Joe Morgan # 27/88
I also have these mini Sport Royalty:
Rulon Gardner (blue back) Rulon Gardner (red back) Kevin Durant (blue back) Kevin Durant (red back) Michael Johnson (red) Bo Jackson (blue) Stan Musial (red) Reggie Jackson (red) Tom Brady (red)
These other minis:
Jeremy Guthrie (red) Billy Wagner (blue) Paul Konerko (blue)

And these full size cards:
David Ortiz Jersey Card Justin Verlander Jersey Card Chase Utley Jersey Card

Game cards: 252 Alex Rodriguez 256 David Ortiz 263 Jose Reyes
"WITH GORILLA GONE, WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR MAN?" Daniel Quinn, Ishmael
Does anyone know the odds of pulling a buy back? Out of 4 boxes I bought last year I pulled 2.
I agree with fattymacs. I like these a heck of a lot better than A&G this year. I don't usually buy upper deck, but these are nice. I've made exceptions for spectrum and goudey with UD.
Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards. Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
Taking a break from A&G (Local card shop didnt have any) I picked up a box of Goudey and I think im going to go after the set. Here are the minis I pulled. What is the difference between red and blue backs? The president card is kinda strange how its numbered. EDIT: I also pulled some crappy relic card and John Maine auto, but did pull my first ever F***dome rookie!
Is it just me or does it look like Ryan Howard has the crazy in his eyes and is about to go medieval on someone with that bat? Of course he is hitting .236 currently, so chances are pretty good the victim will survive.

I just picked up a blaster of these today to try them out. What are the difference in the minis? I got 3 red back and one blue back. Are the blue backs harder to pull or about the same as the red backs? Where can I find the odds? Thanks!

I don't know the actual odds offhand, but I can tell you that I average 1 blue back to about every 3 red backs. There are also green backs, #/88, black backs #/34 and taupe backs #/8. Hope that helps...

I am sharing my Perez Goudey's and the variations I have found to date. Are there any other variations out there? I have been relying on what pops up on Ebay to figure out all different cards made and have not seen any other color back variations but you can never be sure.
Five different mini parallel's should be it. I'm working on the 60 mini card set of retired player's not including the sport royalty. If anybody has some for sale let me know.
i like em, im like you guys, they didnt have any ginter so i bought some of these to see what they looked like, i like the looks alot better than last year,i got a papelbon auto i think,they are much better looking than their first try

Was not real pleased with the Swisher auto. I had seen that card before and thought it was a stupid scribble for an auto.
All of these are for trade except the Braun. If Lawnmower man sees this he can have the Emmitt if he pm's me.
