What set from the 2000's is the LEAST talked about?

[gracecollector]

Every manufacturer has its clunkers now and then. What major manufactuer card sets of the last decade get the least mentions anywhere? Just totally unremarkable and forgotten (for good reason) sets, devoid of any personality and redeeming qualities.

My nomination is 2000 Fleer Impact. I can't remember this set being mentioned in any posts, or any cards from this set being shown off. I hated this product when it was released. Totally uninspired and forgettable.

Make a nomination, and explain why it's the worst. Or defend one of the nominations and tell us why it deserves to be appreciated.

Didn't really collect in 2000 anymore, but I have never even seen or heard of that set. So I think that is a good choice.

What do you expect from a 99c price point?

They did have the opportunity to pull Autographics from the, so they did have that.

2001 Upper Deck Minors Centennial

Never cared much for the look of it, and never heard anything about it.

I didn't think they made an 04 set.

I know I was making bank on them because they were $15/box at wally world and the inserts of the stars were selling for 4-8 bucks each. Really liked that set. Nice designs and the inserts were pretty cool.

A set that gets so little press but should get so much more is 2000 Stadium Club Chrome. Maybe its talked about so little because this set was only released once.

U have a bigger scan for that set? I sort of like the title lay out. Did they have a yankees card design with that style? I only find mighty fine as they have every member of the 1999 Yankees surprisingly only set that make Allen Watson in a Yankees Uniform.

Wasn't he only on the yankees for one season anyways? I remember when they got him, and if I remember correctly, it wasn't for very long.

Fleer Ultra?

If I ever heard somebody mention it, it was usually always negative.

Fleer Ultra?

If I ever heard somebody mention it, it was usually always negative.

As a younger child, I actually liked Fleer Ultra for its photography and I pulled my first game used card out of 2005 Fleer Ultra.

2001 Upper Deck Minors Centennial

Never cared much for the look of it, and never heard anything about it.

The GU and auto checklist was pretty good.

I've heard of all these products. What about..hmm...

2000 Topps HD??

Though, the few autos in that set were good...

Its tough. To be a complete silence set it would need to have pretty much no GU or autos. Even 2000 UD Powerdeck had rare auto'd mini CDs.

I actually like Topps HD.

Here's one for discussion...Skybox Dominion. Talk about hideous...that product was a complete dog.

OOo..that was pretty bad. Uhmm..hmmm...

You know, for the GU and auto checklist, I cant believe 2001 UD Legends of NY isnt talked about more...I always loved the design...

One of my favorite sets that gets no love is 2002 Topps Super Teams. They were originally going to continue the product each year with ten different all-time great teams, but the product just didn't sell. I love the auto set (see below), and there are several interesting GU as well.

 

[mgsherm]

What about Topps Total? Beyond my under 10 kids at the time, who just wanted to play the game, nobody mentions these.

 

[wideright]

Maybe I miss the talk about it, but seems like very little mention of 05 UD Pastime Pennants. Not a bad looking set, dual on-card autos, throwback pennants.

Fleer Ultra had a nice run. When it came out in 1991, Fleer actually trumpted the fact that you got 4 pictures of the player on every card, and that was true, counting the 3 on the back. The dull silver borders were real objects of love/hate at the time, but it was fun collecting that set plus these 10 new gold cards that didn't look like the rest of the set. They're called what? Inserts? OK, inserts. You'd hear of someone selling a gold Griffey for $75 or something ridiculous.

In 1992, it was totally revamped. Blazing color, a sweet asymmetrical design, gold foil stamping, drippingly glossy coating and a nice spread of inserts. And 2 series!

For me, the peak of Ultra was 1998. The embossing on the foil-stamped curlicue lettering really made it stand out. And the photography really complimented the high-color-saturation printing. It went downhill after that, designs getting more and more "enh" and it was getting lost in the explosion of sets that followed.

For anyone collecting 8-10 years ago, it was really a matter of,"If you don't like that last set that came out, wait a few minutes, there will be another one along any second now." Fleer was the worst. I think in 2001 or 2002 they put out 32 sets including multiple series over 20 different brands, and I doubt anyone could correctly name every single one if you were to black out the logo.

Least memorable set of all time? UD Top 10. I can't even remember if that's the exact name, or what year it was, probably 2002. What was the point? Top 10 statistical leaders, or something? Just endless cards of Griffey, Pujols, Ichiro, and Randy Johnson, as I recall.
