$10 a pack with only 1 auto and 2 GU per 12-pack box? No thank you.

That $9.99 is the SRP. Expect the major wax sellers to be selling this stuff around $80 a box or so off the bat....

I am still waiting on a manufactured patch that I redeemed 9/22/08 (non autographed) of:
AFC OFFENSIVE ROY
2008 NFL ICONS FOOTBALL IMMORTAL LETTERMAN VARIED #ING CD # AROY

Its funny because there is no such thing as an AFC ROY. There is a Defensive ROY and an Offensive ROY.
The Offensive ROY came from the NFC this year, so apparently UD is creating their own award.
This experience has left me with the impression to never buy Icons again (I should have learned my lesson when I pulled a Billy Dee Williams non auto'd Letter)

I believe the AFC-ROY is Chris Johnson, and the NFC-ROY is Matt Ryan..

I'm waiting for the following..

Oh good, more manufactured lettermen to clog up my patch searches. Because these will be completely different from all the lettermen already out there.

Remember when $9.99 SRP pack price was not a "mid-level" price point?

That's just gross.

Oh, and for your money, grab Americana instead.
