2009 Upper Deck Black Football Preview...

Here is a preview I put together of the upcoming UD Black release. I think it looks pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to give it a read.

WOW. That looks sweet!

Looks really nice but still too rich for me.

Is it just me or do those American flag manufactured patches just look stupid. I have never understood the manufactured patches unless they have an auto on them. Not my cup of tea I suppose...

Anti-American! Just kidding, I don't like them either. I don't see the point in making a super ginormous-thick card for a manufactured patch. Just not my cup of tea either.

I agree with the patch aspect. but the autos look really sweet

I don't like the autographed flag cards - that flag takes up too much space, and the autograph looks squished.

I love the look of the stuff, but i have to wonder if the MSRP is just going to be way too high for the market.

While the basketball breaks were still a gamble (and i saw alot of tough breaks) there also seemed to be pretty good value for a high end product, but that was also because there were plenty of Kobe's , Jordan's, Lebron's, etc. to be pulled......I'm just not sure something like a Peyton Manning, Peterson, or Sanders is going to pull in the same kind of money.......maybe they'll be lower numbering, or more multi-autos or something to offset that.

I'll probaly wait until i see some breaks before purchasing any for that reason.

Looks like a great product, but get rid of the college jerseys on these guys!
I'm done with Stafford and Sanchez in their college jerseys!

It is a shame they are using the college uniforms.

I don't mind the manufactured flag cards. You just have to keep in mind that these are the "base" cards and not the "hits". Given the choice between a base card that looks like it came out of Upper Deck's base product or one with a manufactured flag, I'll take the flag card.

I don't see why so many people are against the manufactured patches. It's just another type of insert. Sure, when they first came out there was some confusion with game worn letterman vs. manufactured letterman, but pretty much everyone understands the difference now. As long as the design is well done, I'm a happy camper.
