The foil lettering and Ultimate Logo on those cards is the exact kind that I was anticipating would be on the Rookie Auto Redemptions.....we shall see though!

When I got home I grabbed the door tag and went online to see if I could get more info on who sent it.. No sender was listed but I saw something in the tracking details I recognized..

Left FedEx origin facility
CARLSBAD, CA

I knew it was upper deck and it was likely a redemption.. normally it just comes regular mail.. I couldn't figure out why it would be sent express with signature required.. then it hit me.. it was the one i'd been waiting nearly 2 years for.. I logged into my upper deck account to see what was pending/redeemed and to my amazement it was no longer pending.. I had lost faith in them being able to fulfill it so it was ridiculous surprise..


anyways.. enough suspense.. n

SET OF ULTIMATE ROOKIE AUTO CARDS
05/06 NBA ULTIMATE COLLECTION SET OF ULTIMATE ROOKIE AUTO CARDS #3/5

Item in process of shipping along with other projects, expect within 14 days
6/20/2008

I can't believe it.. I called fedex and asked them to hold it and i'll pick it up first thing in the morning.. My only regret is that it didn't come a month or two ago when paul/deron cards were going crazy..

I must admit there's a part of me that worries that in this package will be some replacement that I did not choose.. if that's the case and it's not a maravich cut and a babe ruth cut i'm going to freak out..

so.. now some feedback from you guys..

think its the real deal?

think they are really #'d 3 of 5 (there was some dispute on their part that they wouldn't be, but thanks to the boards help I've documented that they are in fact supposed to be #d to 5..

instantly send it in for grading as a set? How much will it improve the value over raw cards?

sell as a set or individual? and in either case.. after the holiday or wait till basketball season starts? I realize that many of you have put in for dibs for individual cards and i will be getting back to you all once I figure out what to do..


sorry for all the questions.. my mind is racing with excitement..

No offense, but I am getting annoyed at how many people have kept saying "do you think their really numbered/5" and "I checked with UD but I am not sure what to think"......I told the other guy that pulled these the immediately that they were numbered to five and that it was the same "surprise" UD had inserted into Ultimate football and exquisite but about 9/10 people had never heard of the gold sets and didn't believe it. I can understand your fear of a bad replacement but geez do people have faith in anything anymore? It's clearly and Ultimate rc gold auto set /5, no surprises....Just too bad that you had to wait so long for it. I would assume that the other guy will be getting his too so I will see a bunch hitting the bay right off. It will be interesting to see what they go for. I would wait for a free/20 cent listing day on ebay, slap it on with a buy now/best offer of about 20k and see what happens.

i'm off to fedex.. guess i did manage to sleep a bit last night =P

btw.. who else pulled one of these? I posted on here a few times about it and I haven't seen anyone else who has pulled one.. when I talked to UD a bit ago only 3 of them had been redeemed (1,3,4 i think) just curious who the other 2 were..

Not sure on the other 2 Ultimates, but I know someone in Japan pulled the equivalent redemption out of SP Authentic. Last I heard they hadn't received the cards yet either, but perhaps with the Ultimate ones shipping out that the SP Authentic will be too?
