Is there a past product which you feel is totally undervalued, an issue which gets no love?

ive always like 1998 donruss collection (probably one of 5 who do) , especially the refractors (prized).

The lack of serial numbers hurts them even with the stated print runs. Either way, the refractors & base cards (reg & sp's) aren't mass produced & you don't even see then in discount bxs.

Just plain 'ol 1998 Donruss was great. As was 1998 Leaf!

Otherwise I like how the 2008 Topps/Topps Chrome design sticks out.

2005 Fleer Authentix.

Apart from lackluster Ticket to the Majors autographs (yes, you have Verlander and Wright, but others aren't as great - plus, I had two sets of doubles in my four boxes), the set offers a chance at some great patches. I pulled four patches from four boxes (Mauer, Big Unit, Sosa Majestic logo, and a dual patch of Manny/Torii Hunter). The base set is small and relatively easy to complete as well.

My other choice would be 2005 Reflections for the autograph selection, but it is more well-received than Fleer Authentix.

My choice is 2008 Heroes...

Reason being, it has a lot of big name players (past and present) with a lot of combo cards and different parallel levels. For a player collector, it's a nightmare, but 4-years after the product was released, it's cheap and fun to open. I love chasing the parallels. I just pulled a Kelly Johnson/399 earlier today, and another parallel/149 last week (can't remember who it is, semi-decent player)

1996 artifacts. some nice things can be pulled from a box and it seems like a slam dunk to at least make back the box price if you were to sell the hits when you get 4 hits in 10 packs.

It's hard to believe 2005 reflections was a bust at first and boxes were selling for $35 or thereabouts on the bay. I would buy every box I could get my hands on at those prices!

My first box was around 55 or 60 from Dave and Adam's. Now they sell over $100.

Not nearly as high as it should be.
