2008 ulitmate baseball- anyone else have tremendous success?

[brouthercard]

For once, I can say that Upper Deck finally put out a great product.

Then again, I think i've had as lucky a run on this stuff as any can have.

Get this, I've pulled:

4 different Griffey autos
4 different Jeter autos
3 different Ripken autos
six autograph boston red sox card
mulitple hall of famer low numbered autograph game used cards/patches

and the kickers:

Babe Ruth Yankee stadium legacy jersey

signs of history presidential cut auto redemption

and finally, after about forty packs, I pull my first team USA player, and there are 19 different cards in the set - Stephen Strasburg.

It's been an incredible run, everytime I purchase 3-4 packs, I pull either a ripken, jeter or griffey, or something else out of the ordinary.

Anyone else had a strong run, or I have just been darn lucky?

GREAT product upper deck, and everything is on card autos to boot!

That is a SWEET hit, those low numbered bat barrel autos go for quite a premium, congrats!

And for the record, i'm not lucky, I work hard at it to pull good cards, ie, I need to crack alot to pull the good ones. I'm not a one box, one autographed ted williams jersey kind of guy!

You don't want to know how many cases of 2006 draft i've gone through or even 2008 exquisite golf.........let's just say i've worked VERY hard for those.

I can't believe there are only 25 of these in the entire product, and I actually PULLED one!

I pulled Fellhauer...not good...there is a guy that has three of those Strasburgs.

 

[bballcardkid]

Nice hit bud. Can't go wrong with that card at all.

 

[notoriousrmb]

Wow...I opened 2 packs this year and pulled 2 jumbo jerseys (one may have been pants?) so I see where all the good hits went! I don't think my Russ Martin and Josh Willingham will get me much return... ::facepalm::

 

[theplasticman]

Wow, fantastic luck!

 

[brouthercard]

Wow, fantastic luck!

Thanks!

Pack prices are getting awfully expensive nowadays, though, they were up to $105 at the local show.

Fortunately I've pulled almost everything I've wanted out of the product, but if prices get softer again, I might start to crack some more!
