RE: products companies should STOP making & products they should bring back
UD Black was amazing.....the 2009 autos are probably my favorite set of cards to this date.

I will probably always collect cards, but AU/GU chasing has ruined it for the most part for me. I'll take anything pre-2000.

Glad to see Fleer Greats of the Game mentioned as well. I love that 2004 set, just wish it was bigger.
Sage and Press Pass are terrible in my opinion. Press Pass not having an NCAA license has made them a thousand times worse. The photos are god awful.
Panini desparately needs to hire some new graphic designers and I really can't stand their sets that are 100 base cards and in alphabetical order by team. Boring!

I loved Zenith and UD Black had sweet base.
Certified was always so/so until last year when it had some great hits.
Also, UD needs to get of X and Z so many sets are just UDX or UD Z____
I collect Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, and Former Michigan Wolverines

Absolutely loved those!

1997 EX-2000 and 1998 eX-2001 were some of the greatest sets ever.
The bad thing is with a lot of the GREAT older sets, UD now owns the licensing. So no Skybox, Fleer or UD stuff.
I could REALLY go with another run of Playoff Piece of the Game. VERY fun set to put together back in the day with one GU'd per pack. A $12-15 one GU'd hit per pack product is needed nowadays in my opinion. Decent price point, and actually have something in every pack. Fun bust at $60-70 a box.
I would also love a new QB Club set, like Inscriptions.
Trying to finish these sets:
1999 Upper Deck Strike Force Quantum /100
2000 Score Complete Players Green/ Blue
2000 Leaf Piece of the Game Preview 4th Down Isaac Bruce
2008 Premier NFL Equipment /25 John Elway
Let me know if you have any available.

RE: products companies should STOP making & products they should bring back
I'm showing my age but I loved the super team cards by upper deck and absolutely loved wild card and trying to pull a 1000 stripe. If people only knew then that emmit smith wasn't the biggest hit in the box but a rookie falcon. Still remember pulling a 50 stripe emmitt. Those boxes had terrible colization ended up picking up a few and trading a few after opening three or four boxes to make 20 sets. Still have the factory 20 stripe set. Think it was called signature rookies, great concept of some sort of auto mem per pack redemption at $15 a pack back then.

Fleer Ultra but not the '07 style at $20 a pack. Loved chasing Lucky13 rc's.
How AWESOME would a NCAA licensed UD Masterpieces be? One hit per box, being a Stroke of Genius auto with a college GU?

RE: products companies should STOP making & products they should bring back
I would also LOVE to see the 'Action Packed' style of cards come back. I loved the designs and style. I think they were the first thick stock cards on the market, even though they were folded to make the card. The uncut sheets of those looked crazy!!!
