What an awesomely bad idea. Maybe if UD would donate the case to fcb or pay us to take slots I would do it.

The UD facebook group (Bring back upper deck baseball or something similar) showed that UD has apparently taken notice of how poorly this product is being received.

I agree with the idea of looking for off brands but I am just not a huge fan of the Nabisco cards or the rest of these types. I just think the photos with no logos on them is actually worse than some of these cards that I have seen from this product. Make no mistake, I am not going in big time on these autographs but will bottom feed and snag cards with autographs that I would like to have if they are cheap, cheap cheap. From what I have seen, many will be very inexpensive and will only become more so as these packs are ripped and and the cards are put on the bay. For the purposes I need these cards for, they will do just fine even if they have no photo on them, at least they are certified!

If they expected anything other than hilarity, then they're more naive than assumed.
I can't believe anyone found this worth ripping sight unseen at the price. Then, after seeing some breaks...who would rip this at these prices? I mean $250+ for 9 autographs could kick out a lot better than this. I couldn't convince myself to take a swim in this product even at half, which would be $125/box.

They must have someone staring at their Facebook page non-stop to keep up.
The last UD post regarding it stated proudly, "Important update on this product, there are ZERO redemptions in the product. All autographs are live in the product!"
When the only selling point is zero redemptions...it's not a good sign.

LOL. It's amazing to me that they want to try to pump a product that they KNOW is garbage.

Yet people bought it and have busted it.

Boxes have three 3-card packs (I think) and all cards are autographed. (Probably stating the obvious there, but I wouldn't put it past UD after this comedy to release a product just featuring a player's last name on the front, team city on the back and call it "SP Legendary Exquisite Hall of Fame and Prospect Ultimate Draft.") The 3-card packs appear to be still selling on eBay for $70+. This is why most of the BINs on the garbage (IE: 95% of this) start at $24.99 as a gasping effort to recoup some of the blood bath.
I'm all for people taking a huge risk with costly products, but the return here is abysmal.

We'll see how long my comment stays up on the UD facebook page.
"Good player lineup; horrible atrocious card design. No player image, no team logos, no redeeming qualities in my book. Anyone thinking of buying this blight to the eyes should look at some eBay singles before doing so. I know the licensing agreement takes away certain design options, but these are just terrible to look at."

I can't even remember the three names on the very last card he pulled. That has to be worth a crisp George Washington.

Not even a Griffey and Chipper auto could save this BRUTAL break:

You know, the beauty in this product is the laziness and empty-hearted attempt. The MLBPA license allows Upper Deck to produce cards with player photos, just no logos and team colors. Okay, easy enough...head shots. Slapped on this design, boom...done. Easy. Much better product. So you wonder why they didn't choose to do that...money. I truly think they did the best with what they were willing to work with and designed it as well as possible...considering how listless they are as a collective.
If this bookends Upper Deck's meteoric rise and collapse in baseball, it would truly be impressive. Bursting onto the scene with holograms and a higher quality stock (basically bankrupting them in release #1 until they got wise and fired the presses back up for a few specific cards) through some really successful products that excited many to this hilarity of the current state Upper Deck.
Sadly, Upper Deck's rise and fall in this hobby symbolizes exactly what goes wrong when a business is run by a crazed drunken mustachioed charlatan.
The only think I want to know now is how many reprint projects are running through their minds right now, or if he's too drunk to think straight.

Honestly, I would not, as a shop owner, feel comfortable selling this to my customers. It's wrong. I get that you sunk money into it, but your gripe is now with UD (assuming it was site-unseen). Passing this along to the customer is deceitful at best.

Is this common knowledge or do you know him personally? LOL
