The NFL told Upper Deck to piss off no more UD football cards for you. :(

people still make sports cards? i thought people stopped caring about that in the '90s. i'm surprised there is still a market for it with all the more entertaining modern day distractions. if people want a picture of an athlete, or his stats, they can just download them online.

I'm not crying. Upper Decks quality control and customer service suck anyway. This years exquisite is a sorry excuse for a high end product. The cards are damaged and some of them have the wrong teams patch in them. That's inexcusable. Upper Deck can go out of business for all I care. I like Panini better anyway. I just wish Topps would get their license back.

I agree with most but SP Authentic is the greatest set ever made and too loose that is just sickening. Ultimate/SP/Exquisite is the core foundation of most collectors and Hobby shops will be hurt...If you loose UD then you should allow Topps to have football back but they suck at the high end department anyway. Hopefully this will wake up Upper Deck and in 2011 come back strong.

Exquisite always have complaints about chipping due to the heavy thick card stock.

I love collecting cards, but I needed money and sold my two best for almost a grand. I do believe it was topps though, it was a 80s rookie joe montana and a rookie ken griffey baseball card. I still have a few worth a bit I have a real young one of p manning and some nolan ryans.

f**k I wish I had those back! Where do you buy your cards jason? (where do you find best selection/condition?)

This is exactly the reason collecting cards is so fun, and more valuable.

Cards are in no way to have a picture of an athlete or see their stats. They are collected for the same reason any other item is, there are rarity that are fun to find and own. Yes these can be worth money but to a collector they are priceless,(unless your car needs to get fixed or you'll lose a job) esp if they are one of their fav players; my ryans are worth more but I love him, watched him a kid growing up in texas. :)

I mostly get them from Ebay or I rummage through the big box of auto cards at the hobby shop in North Charleston and my final place is trading or buying at Sports Card Forums

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
