TUESDAY Updates (frank thomas returns, gotg!) from vegas industry summit

[BBCgalaxee]

Pre view of goodwin champions featuring wild wild west mem.

The playing cards will be fanned out & similar to entomology cards, will be redemptions.

Same for the dice & more.

There is going to be HUGE news from ud tomorrow (can't say yet) & panini will reveal more news about baseball products.

Also, onyx will be issuing a 2013 minor league product.

Improved upon from last yrs, each pack will have an auto & srp will be REDUCED! Imagine that, more autos a bx & price is less (probably in the $15 range).

There will also be more premium patches & production will be lowered.

God I hope it's going to be that UD is getting their baseball license back, or will at least be allowed to make baseball cards again.

Looking forward to the news.

Who is running UD now that McWilliams is gone?

Heres some mascot cards. I'm not totally sure if these are upcoming or previously issued (there were bug cards here but from past yrs)

Michigan doesn't have a mascot!

Hope the UD news is good, I definitely miss UD.

I like the Wild West stuff... but if they have no "famous" ties then those aren't worth much outside of the fact that they are in the product.

I'd jump for joy if UD got a license. Seriously there needs to be more players in the game. It's better for the collectors.

Well of course its not.

Topps license doesn't even expire till January of next year.

 

[DeliciousBacon]

I'd just be happy if they were allowed to make an unlicensed product. Airbrushed UD is infinitely better than airbrushed Panini.

It's my understanding that Upper Deck lost their license after suffering from a fatal case of alcohol poisoning.

But seriously...if anyone really has a drinking problem or knows someone that does...get help.

The UD Signature product from last year was tremendous.

 

[uniquebaseballcards]

UD doesn't need a license to put out good cards; neither does any other manufacturer.

But with that said, I don't trust UD and neither do many other people.

UD has produced probably 8 of the 10 best baseball products in the Auto/GU era and it isnt even close.

Although your reply was meant to just be snark. Figured I'd throw out how good UD was and probably could be for those who arent strictly prospect buyers.

The Ultimate product was great. There were a lot of bad UD products as well.

Agreed.

Topps has never really come close to producing a high end product at the level of UD.

Museum was close. Combine Museum and TTT and 5 Star, and you have something.

BTW, Phillies released your boy Gauntlett.

I think if any compay does get a license after Topps contract expires in 2014, it will be Panini. They turned some heads with NT. If they can make unlicensed cards look that beautiful, wait til they can start throwing logos on that stuff.
