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

      Thank you so much for posting links to the players so I don’t have to copy and paste the name and look it up.

      All signs point to legit. We’ve been way better than our record the last few years it’s just we’ve had brutal injury luck. Also I’ve watched nearly every game this year and 3 things have stood out to me even when healthy from early in the year to now: 1. Early on Lee had some brutal rotations and situational coaching but he’s improved a ton there. We lost some close ones early we should’ve won. Sure most our recent games have been blowouts but in close games we’ve improved a ton there. 2. Defense. Overall team defense has improved so much, it’s not just hot shooting winning games. This D is absolutely a real trend and sustainable. LaMelo in particular has gone from flat out bad defensively to above average. We have so much length we always should’ve been good defensively but it took time for guys to buy in and really hone in on it which they have.   3. Pretty much all our young guys have taken strides forward. Moose’s development as a passer has been insane, Miller is putting it all together to be an elite 3 tier scorer able to hit 3s, mid range and finish at the rim. LaMelo still some poor shot selection but has cut the turnovers considerably. Kon has been a great shooter all year but has steadily improved in other aspects of the game too.      It has definitely been surprising how quickly it all came together out of nowhere but really none of it surprises me. We’ve been building towards this for years now.
