Upper Deck just released a product called Ultimate Collection Hockey - it is Super High End - retail of $100 a pack (although you could get it for a little less than $75 a pack if preordered.) Here is a really sweet Wayne Gretzky Card http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20885&item=5191466715&rd=1Wow $1425 for one card  I will post more on this product if people think it is interesting.?. After all this is where I think nonsport cards will go eventually. |

I hope non-sports doesn't go in this direction. At that price it would be like buying Pear Tree Leaves!  |

Wow! Those cards are really awesome, but who can afford to take a chance at $100 a pack? I pulled a Yserman jersey out of a pack YEARS ago. It was one of the first jersey sets to come out. I think it was Upper Deck. I should get it out and see how much it's worth today. Good thing my husband doesn't like card collecting. He's a HUGE Ranger fan.  |

Yzerman is my #1 collecting interest. I would love to see a scan of it. Maybe we can trade some HP for the Yzerman. I did get some of this....should be here Tues  |

I just went browsing on eBay for the Yzerman jersey, but no one has it listed. I think it came out at least mid 90's, maybe earlier. I'll check my boxes for it. I know it's in a screwdown holder somewhere.  |

It's definately 1996 Upper Deck. I may be willing to trade. 8) I'll have to dig through my hockey collection to find it first. ::) UPDATE: Found it!   From the first ever Hockey jersey card set from UD. The gold lettering didn't show up on the scan. I scanned it through a snap case. |

For $100 a pack, do they guarantee you an insert at least? I can't imagine forking out that amount of miney for 5 base cards |

Are they worth $20 each though? It would be great if you pulled a fab card, but if it was 5 base cards... Expensive hobby - and I thought that I had it bad |

Surely there's got to be an autograph or jersey auto per pack, but I didn't look to get details as I can't afford it anyway. Hey, Beckham, make sure you post your cards here soon. I would like to know what you got. UPDATE: Yes, just checked an auction for a pack. A jersey is guaranteed. An autograph 1:16. Hey, Beckham, I wonder why they didn't put Gordie Howe's name anywhere in this auction? Silly.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=44900&item=5192842205&rd=1 |

I can't imagine forking out that amount of miney for 5 base cards You get 1 auto and 1 memorabilia card in every pack, a few of mine actually had three. None were short, there were some very nice cards, will post some scans soon (maybe not til this weekend I have to get the scanner back out) Oh and my HP Update that I got CHEAP comes in Wed, maybe I am just excited about it because it will feel alot better to open a case that was half of what I spent on the others. |

My favorite player with a sweet card So TEMPTING =DONT BID, DONT BID, BID, DONT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20885&item=5191835120&rd=1Now imagine if Artbox did a few cards with Patches from the quiddich robes like that...how much would those go for. Nonsport manufacturers really should follow the lead of sportscards, I really think that is what some have been doing and made really popular inserts. |

I just got an email from someone I have bought alot of hockey boxes from that I had enquired about a box of the upcoming ITG Ultimate Memorabilia Hockey to try to get a presell price on it as it comes out the end of the month. ( I have got a box or two every year so far) They have cut back production by 60% this year due to the lockout, no card is #'d higher than 60 and most are 25 or less and there are hundreds of 1/1 cards. Anyway the presell price she gave me was $640 a box (I think I peed my pants when I read that as it is almost double last years  ) Why do they have to put all the good releases out at the same time. |

they have had these for a few years now. I got 2 packs of baseball once when I picked up mt ROTK wave one boxes, pulled a 1200 prior card, so thought to pre order some baseketball, sold like mad I got the box ( 4 packs ) for pretty cheap what they weregoing for on ebay. Got some decent cards. I will have to get a scan of my lebron auto. I almost passed out when i got it. the cards are nice, thick, numbered but not worth what they sell for. imagine LOTR cards like this? merry auto would be 15,000. if I remmeber right the dual MJ and lebron basketball card went for 70,000+ there was 4-5 dual autos or autos that went for 50k+ sick cards but if you get a back box, ouch  |
