The Pictures they use is what annoys me. All the old pictures they used, like Randy Johnson in a Yankees Uniform.

I like the overall look. They remind me a little of the Fleer Splendid Splinters.

I especially like this pull...

I like it and don't like it. I like the look but, I think UD has oversaturated the market with all of the Logomen and Buttons in this product.

As a Red Sox fan, that Papelbon would have been the ultimate hit for me. Great card! LMK if its ever available

I like the look, but hate the seemingly random selection of players on the cards. I like multi-player cards to be either all players from one team, or all players of the same position. Overall I have to vote that I dislike the product - I wouldn't buy it at its current prices.

I agree

Ken Griffey Jr., Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Albert Pujols, Derek Jeter, Cal Ripken Jr. Vladimir Guerrero and Mark Texieria?

The pairings are so random.

You'll have to forgive me, I'm not a huge #'s nut, but I kinda figured having those 8 on 2 different cards would be pretty decent. I understand the the positions don't match, nor teams, and Ripken is a HOF'er and doesn't play anymore, but I never quite understood the 2002 Upper Deck Diamond Collection Bat Around Quads and no one complains about those. And to me, these look a HECK of a lot better! JMO.

I am pretty sure it's one card with all of those guys on it. I wouldn't mind the card either but it's so random.

It makes sense to show Johnson in a Yankees uniform since the GU swatch they used is from a Yankees uniform. I think it is annoying when a player is pictured in one uniform and the GU swatch is obviously from the uniform of another team.

Here's a glaring example from my collection:

these are the eight and six player pairings front and back!

Oh, WOW! I didn't realize from the pictures that there are all 8 players on just one card. That is pretty random then. And you're right, doesn't make much sense. I haven't seen one in person yet, so I had no idea. I still go back to that UD Diamond Collection Bat Around cards though, didn't they seem random and even worse than these? And yet they still seem to command some high dollars!

I do have a dual '08 UD Ballpark coming in I can't wait to share, a NOLAN RYAN / JOHAN SANTANA dual that I think is pretty sweet!

I think its **** and will not be buying a box of it. While there are some nice inserts to hit, there are just too many plain jersey cards IMO and I don't think the value it there for the $$$. If anything, I may pick up singles off fleabay for a couple of bucks if I stumble across something I like. It's a junk product to avoid.

I picked up the six swatch Granderson with the bloody Baldelli on the reverse that I posted in another thread for 3 bucks.
