More Images From Black: Looks More Ridiculous Than Before (In A Good Way)

Just saw the powerpoint for 2009 Upper Deck Black Football on the normal site. Wow, these cards look like they are getting better and better. Team color cards are SOOOOOO underrated, glad to see the colors coordinate with the players - especially on that quad. Awesome.

Per the slideshow, Black will now be 2 cards per pack with 2 autos per box instead of the normal 1 card per pack set up from before. Although that other card is just a flag card, a staple of all black sets, it still adds a little more value to the break. The price is still VERY high considering what you are getting, but the design is well worth it. Also, if you consider that you pay 89 bucks a box for Ultimate for one hit, I guess its around the same.

Also, all the cards will be on card, and those lustrous cards are the PETG things. I think this product could be absolutely amazing, even though for me, all Peterson cards will be redemptions until he gets off his ass and signs his shit.

Remember, these are mock ups, so that means the rookies are still in college jerseys and blah blah blah. Its not going to look like that on the final product.

  1. Damn ... looks very, very nice. Clearly, no other company can come close to what Upper Deck does for high end!

  2. beautiful cards, yes. One question, given your love for all things Upper Deck, and disdain for all Topps and Panini products, are you receiving "favors" from U.D.?

  4. I dont receive product or favors from anyone. I have been offered a bunch of time, but I always turn them down. The point of the blog was to avoid a situation like that.

  8. The card design is great the black goes nice on it, very simple. Hope the price isn't 100+ which it's maybe going to be.

  9. Doesn't matter how good the cards look. Singles won't sell for nearly enough to make this anything close to a profitable product.

    With BKB, you had the big 3. Nobody in this FB product will sell for similar amounts for the same type of card.
