What kind of crack is Upper Deck smoking?

[JoshHamilton]

I got an upperdeckstore.com catalog on the mail. Not really sure how, since I don't give out my address, especially to a company like UD, but whatever

Here are some of the "deals" I found

Grady Sizemore signed 8x10: $229
Tony Romo signed photo: $225
Fernando Valenzuela signed ball: $250 (in their defense, it's 'limited' to 100)
Ben Sheets signed ball: $75
Paul Pierce/Garnett/Ray Allen signed photo: $520 (WTF?)
Russ Martin signed Dodgers jersey: $455
Jack Nicklaus signed US Open pin flag (you can buy these for like $20 unsigned at pro shops): $900
Evan Longoria signed bat: $300

What the hell? Has anyone ever been dumb enough to buy any of this crap?

People have been stupid enough to buy things from Field of Dreams before. I think they have Andre Dawson ROMLB's priced at $129. :lol:

have you ever redeemed a card from UD? Then that's how they got your address.

Maybe the Longoria bat is worth it.

Probably better to invest in $300.00 worth of crack.

Interesting subject line from a guy with the JoshHamilton screen name!

They have always been high priced.Always.I have never seen an item in any of their catalogues that was decently priced.Ever.

I bought a Jordan autographed framed jersey from them with a 50% off code. That is the only way I would ever buy from them.
