Upper Deck USA Sets Price Spike!

2008 UD USA Baseball Set

Factory direct cost is $140 per set.
This is the 2008 USA Team (the one in the summer was the 2007 team) and this is a different format.

Wow, what a way to depress me! I don't mind paying $50'ish per for a USA boxed set, but this is way too much. My enthusiam for one of the best boxed sets of the year is gone right now...

I'll let a rabid ripper open the set and take the autos/memorabilia and I'll buy just the base card set for next to nothing because I do care at least for the base set portion but not the price of the sealed set.
