Upper Deck Still Blows....

I told myself not to do it. I should of listened, should of stuck with Topps products. At least they generally deliver what they say. 2 boxes of 2008 SP Authentic came today. I figured it would be a great way of getting some autographs as the odds are 3/box on average (I love how they throw that on). Ripped both of the boxes and got 3 autographs total, and none of them were players of note.

If anyone is looking for a good read about the beginnings of Upper Deck, check out this book.

I'll start posting pack breaks tomorrow. I need to sort through these to see if I missed one.

Coming Up.....

I have two boxes of 2008 SP Authentic coming from the Blowout Sportcards weekend specials. Hoping to have them on Wednesday or Thursday. Should be a fun break with 3 autographs per box.
