Hey man, I'm so so sorry to hear that.
As for you comment on UD autos and anything else is a gamble, what do you mean by that?
For me personally, I like college football, specifically Penn State so before Press Pass lost the collegiate license, Press Pass was my favorite. Now Upper Deck has it so now I look for Upper Deck stuff. Since Penn State has such a plain uniform, I can sometimes get autos from other brands since there is nothing to take off of the uniform. However, Press Pass thought they needed to airbrush the stripe from the helmet and that's just dumb.
So for me it's just personal preference. If you are looking at it from a value standpoint, someone else will have to give you that information.
