Prime B Wrote:[quote="SkyFire47"]some wicked cards and some great patches everybody. here are my most recent 3 cards to join my favorites list:

2007-08 UD Ice Frozen Foursomes /5 my vote for most innovative new design from UD

2007-08 UD Sweet Shot Sweet Spot kudos to UD for trying something new. i love the look of the autos on the baseball

2007-08 UD All World Auto /5 most fun search i've had in a while. try hunting for these bad boys when there's only 5 of them and only inserted into retail Target Walmart blaster boxes

Kevin beautiful cards and I concur on all your thoughts. The Ice Frozen Foursomes are a great idea and the All World Autos are INSANELY tough to find.

But the baseball skins from Sweet Shot were the best and for the reason you made so clear. It was NEW and DIFFERENT. That is why I take UD to task, they are lazy and complacent with their products now.

I do not need Ice Scripts 5 years in a row with a strikingly similar design. Change the design or try a new concept that's all I ask.

Best UD product so far this year? far and away, it's Champs and it may be their best product of the year period IMO.

One of the corners of my parkhurst rookie has a slight dink in it and so it goes. The job that was done with the 05 06 CUP should be hailed as the finest hockey card product ever produced. The designs were great the patches were stunning the rookies were superb what more could anyone ask for in a hockey product.
It was so good then when I was cracking cases I didnt care if I got a good rookie or not. The memorabilia was so good. In short hockey card collecting is a rush.... almost a habit And I am glad that Upper Deck 05/06 CUP got me back into that habit I didnt realize how much I missed collecting when I gave it up for a while.

I echo that one. 05/06 Cup is hands down the best overall hockey product ever made. I LOVE some of ITG's work still and am sad they don't have a license to really show their stuff.

That said, of the NHL/NHLPA approved cards, the 2005/06 version of The Cup was the best. I think every year The Cup is one fo the top brands along with ITG Ultimate and one of the best overall products. It needs to be tweaked a little here and there but it still dominates, mainly because of the rookies and all their big cards being in there. I guess Ultimate has those single shields that are always hot as heck for people, especially the rookie collectors. I think this year Champs is the best overall thing I've seen but I'll wait and see until products like Superlative and the Cup hit being making a final call on my favorite for the year.

Yes I hope this years CUP does live up to the brand name. There are some great young kids as rookies this year which should mean it will sell well.

DOH! Realized that UD didn't make Parkie cards when I pulled that Lemieux, so I will make my #1 my #2 and make a new #1.

My new #1
