Yes, kids make up a very small amount of revenue in sports cards shops. They spend much more on Yugioh, gaming, etc.

True. But I don't think the UD Diamond Club members do.Rudzud said:
I'll bet those guys spend more on the hobby every year than every kid in this country.

yeah, variety definitely spices things up. i'd be curious to see for any UD exclusive contracts, when they'd be up. same deal is playing out with UD and Panini for basketball..

Topps doesnt care about those two, as they are both veteran players.

I am ready to break something. Why in the blue hell would they decide to do this ****? I hate buying Topps products other than Chrome and Draft......I just can't imagine what good this is going to do.

This move seems to defy logic on so many levels that I've lost count. This may very well mark a new low point for the hobby. The late 80's/early 90's may have had some horribly overproduced products, but at least there was a variety of manufacturers and reasonable price points. The quality of Topps' products has been atrocious, with uncreative designs and recycling 'throwback' designs like ATFF, T206, T205, A&G, Cracker Jack, etc. I can only assume it will get even worse by eliminating the competition.

This is f-ed up. SO many great UD products (amongst the crap), gone. What a travesty. Whoever thumbs-upped this decision should be fired. I see absolutely NO positives to this other than less rookie cards produced of players. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

They only did ATFF twice. It was a solid product in my opinion.

I really don't know what high end baseball i'm going to open in the future. I have no problem with bowman products, but I just don't like the "value" of high end topps baseball such as topps sterling.

I'm drinking now.
If I was still at the zoo I would have gotten about $20 worth of food and just binged and then drank some more.
Now I'm back in my sleepy town drinking beer and eating Doritos: Tacos After Midnight

I don't remember that last time I opened much of any Upper Deck baseball products post-2004, so won't change my buying. Besides, Donruss/Panini still makes baseball cards, something tells me we haven't seen the demise of Upper Deck baseball products. So basically...yawn. All I wanted was to get rid of exclusive prospect deals that keep players out of Bowman products.

UD may just go the Donruss route.
Prospect Premieres could be making a comeback.
IF they can up the ante on a few products..... this might be just what UD needs.

Speaking of UD high end, is there going to be a 2009 Upper Deck Premier Baseball?

I would think not. I thought it was traditionally an early part of the year release for them. Haven't heard anything about it........

This is all I could think about when reading this... Please don't F-up the whole first year Bowman line. The Topps company should be required to make cards of all players drafted in the first round that sign with their respected club within one fiscal year. Preferably AUTOS. No more exclusive prospect deals and just lay down some guidelines so we don't end up with horrid checklists for Bowman/Chrome products like what we have this year.
