What is on the horizon for cards of this year's top picks and previously signed players who have not had a major card yet?

Are we supposed to be postulating whether Razor and McWilliams' Money are going to be playing with exclusive contracts again?

I certainly hope not. I'd rather see 09 BDP/10 BC cards of these guys than more Razor stuff.

We may see some exclusive autograph contracts, but it's extremely doubtful that there will be any exclusive image rights deals. Razor's first year experiment did not work well on any level outside of intrigue. They have roughly 100 exclusive autograph contracts that have little value looking forward with the exception perhaps of the Wieters deal which was different (although he needs to start producing seriously before they see the value in that deal).
Therefore, I would expect Topps/Bowman to have the ability to make cards of virtually every draft pick. Now, whether or not they can make those deals happen is another story.

I would love to see guys like Ackley, Tate, Strasburg, etc. as the auto checklist in draft this year. After what happened last year, I am not sure what to expect.200lbhockeyplayer said:

Who is to say Upper Deck won't sign exclusives? They have no MLB deal, so don't need their rules.

+10,000. I'll keep praying for an SP Prospect product or high end Exquisitesque prospect product with a few HOF'ers mixed in.
Hopefully UD puts the pressure on Topps to produce a quality checklist by making a quality prospect product themselves.

Completely agree, I am not a fan at all of razor. Let Bowman handle this stuff.

Why buy Razor when one can buy the same players in BDP or SP Prospects?
Well, I guess one is technically buying Razor when buying SP Prospects, but....
UD has a MLBPA deal
The MLBPA is the real stick in the mud when it comes to what UD can or cannot do. The MLB properties is less invasive.
My hope is that the MLBPA will loosen the strings on UD so that they can do what they need to do to turn a profit.

Keep in mind that Upper Deck's MLB license drops for the 2010 season, so perhaps they will throw up the middle finger and release a prospect product for late 2009 but I doubt it.
Also, the MLBPA is who always balked at having prospects in MLBPA products, not MLBP, so that doesn't help the cause for those of you who want an SP Prospects type of product.
Plus, let's not forget that there has been a lot of speculation surrounding Upper Deck's finances even before they lost the NBA license and MLB license. Who can say what their future holds?
The one entertaining thing is that people here still think a high end prospect product will sell...it won't. Prospectors are a small minority of the hobby and as Razor realized quickly, you can't bank your future on prospectors. Why would Upper Deck try it their way?

I know a lot of big time prospects weren't in 08 bdp but chrome autos with posey, montero, g beckham, derek holland, flores, josh reddick (It was pretty good).card-treasury said:

So an Exquisite Baseball type product that is done exactly the same as basketball (veterans, hof'ers, and rookie prospects) would not sell? Prime Cuts seemed to due pretty well last year did it not?
