Since I have a niche collection of University of Houston players, I love the B & C list players too.<BR/><BR/>I can understand paying a ton of money for the high end products and being upset about getting an autograph from someone no one has heard of.

Topps performance sucked because they had ugly cards with sticker autos and nothing else. If you have a good looking product with good ideas for auto and jersey subsets, I think more A-list stuff will be what we want. Of course, this year's premier FB will be the first test as you get 4 top RC autos and 1 A-lister per case. So time will have to Gellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819780003574759214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-61128870685981896612008-08-27T10:51:00.001-07:002008-08-27T10:51:00.001-07:00Sadly it's going to take a new card company to do ...Sadly it's going to take a new card company to do it right. I was hoping that Razor would set a trend in their product, but after speaking with the CEO it's just going to be the same tired crap. We need someone new, someone willing to listen. So in the end yeah we are screwed.Chemgodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144507101303169755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-30059185269648129002008-08-27T10:51:00.000-07:002008-08-27T10:51:00.000-07:0010 (AND MOST IMPORTANTLY).

Show us why wax is better than buying a lottery ticket. If you hand pack a product there is no excuse for 20 dollars worth of cards in a 500 per pack product, or even a 100 per box product.<BR/><BR/>Usually, I agree with you on your rants, but this just doesn't make sense.

The list is pretty much every mid-end DLP football product, SPA Football, and National Treasures.<BR/>Exquisite BKB was on there before they gave you two base cards in a pack, and also Topps Chrome FB (not baseball) and Bowman Chrome BB (all) and FB. <BR/><BR/>I also love, love, love UD Masterpieces BB and FB too, as those are the only base cards worth buying due Gellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819780003574759214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-80586653712379550422008-08-27T09:44:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:44:00.000-07:00Nice post.

I'm always impressed by your ability to organize your thoughts into a comprehensive, staight forward list.<BR/><BR/>I'd also be interested in something similar about sets/products that you like and think are getting it right. I assume it'd probably be a short list.Motherscratcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897795675799572040noreply@blogger.com
