SPX or Authentic?
Hey guys,
I've really been enjoying trying to complete a bunch of subsets from UD Series 1 and 2. But I've been thinking about getting into some of the more mid-range products. I like the SPX stuff from what I've seen, just wondering if I should dive into that or wait until the Authentic line comes out early next month. Is there one that usually holds their value better or anything like that? Is one of them truly "better" or anything? Thanks!

RE: SPX or Authentic?
SP Authentic is probably the one that is more collected between those two. The hard-signed RC autos is a huge draw.

SP Authentic for me to as autos are hard signed----
but don't expect to come out on time. They always say early April and it ends up being mid MAy.

As for myself, I always buy SP Authentic as i like the look and rookies over SPX.

SPA...unless you are a GU collector as there isn't a lot of GU content in that set.

I appreciate the feedback guys. I have just pre-ordered a box of Authentic and a box of ITG Between the Pipes. Can't wait to show off what I pull.

Sales wise at our store - there is no comparison. Authentic outsells x

Was expecting the above replies.
SPx is cool. But SPA is a solid staple over the course of time.

I like SPx better as a whole, but SPA is much better if you're after Rookies.
