Just saw that D&A is preselling this stuff for stupid jack. The basketball thing couldn't possibly happen again, could it? Can't find any other presell prices, are there any?

90's basketball inserts are their own little animal. I don't think any other sport could do it as well. Just my take though.

Yeah, I do not think there is any debating that, but....

Football cards with respect to the recent RC crops have been all but dominating the entire hobby. What this product may lack in ala Jordan/LeBron it is, in my humble opinion, going to make up for with a stellar RC and young star checklist. So I do see it is going to be a different animal, but I believe it is going to do extremely well.

I think D&A was around 350 a box.

What retro set does fleer football have worth a XXXX?

It's a Upper Deck set of today's & former players done in an assortment of old Fleer designs. They did it in basketball earlier in the year & boxes went to like a billion dollars each. Unautographed inserts sell for thousands.

Yeah, I can't think of a Fleer design that people would buy into as much as the basketball versions. PMGs and the Skybox Autographics will be cool if they go with those.

What they should do is a throwback to the 1991 Pro Visions. Those were BA. Have 'em auto'ed on card too.

Yes! Rookie Sensations too! I remember busting Jumbo boxes in search of the Frank Thomas holy Grail lol....

They're actually bringing the hoops inserts over to football, Jambalaya for example. Desparation by UD for sure, but it just might work? We'll see i guess.

I'm sure the stuff will be a hit but it's still an NCAA set. There seems to be more college football collectors than basketball but football collectors overall seem more NCAA averse. And does anyone have any money left after Chrome this year? I'll probably pick up a few Richardson inserts. I also agree with using the old SkyBox Autographics design(s). Those where nice cards for their time. The auto'd PV card idea would be pretty cool too. Some of the foil inserts from 1994 Ultra would also be really nice to see again. Also some nice Flair designs.

I don't know... if one of my guys had a Jambalaya, I'd definitely get after it. Then again, I'm not sure a single Hawkeye will make the set...

yeah with NCAA stuff, it's hard to care past more than one or two players from a school someone's a fan of. though it would be fun seeing someone trying to claim "mississippi valley state" and "marshall" for group case breaks of rookies.

THey need to make the set more football themed, instead of Jambalaya how about Fumblaya with the top fumblers in the league?
