Three Boxes of 2008-2009 Ultimate Collection

[tuftsrunner]

I couldn't really help myself and opened my first boxes of Basketball so far this year. Here are the highlights of the three boxes I picked up at my local card shop. There have been a lot of subpar breaks online, but I got a pretty good price for the three so I can't complain, especially with what I pulled.

Base Cards:
#54: Andre Miller 24/499
#22: Kevin Durant 494/499
#76: Gerald Wallace 265/499
#38: Andre Iguodala 28/499
#48: David Lee 497/499
#88: DeAndre Jordan RC 333/491
#89: JaVale McGee RC 497/499

#41: Lebron James 259/499

#106: Julius Irving 150/499

Onto the Hits:

Tony Parker/ Pau Gasol/ Richard Jefferson/ Jamaal Tinsley Ultimate Veteran Foursomes Jersey Card #1/50

Kevin Love Ultimate Rookies Jersey Auto #'d 37/60

Derrick Rose Epic Signatures Auto

Nice Rose, love Epic signatures. But man could they have been any more random on the quad jersey player selection?

Yea, seriously other than the Rose, the boxes were kind of worthless (unless Love becomes huge next year). It'd be much better if they could focus all of the multi-jersey/patch cards (either by team, position, college school, etc.). I know they tried to do it with some of the cards in the set like the ultimate ten card with all rookies, or the laker and celtics team cards. Naturally, these are the cards that sell the best on ebay.

I do know that those four on that card are from the same class, 2001-02. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Ah that makes a little more sense, maybe they should have said that somewhere on the card then.

Nice job on the Rose card
