How much are those 02 UD Yankee Signature Series packs just out of curiosity...

$24 a pack. Each pack contains one autograph of a Yankee, mostly legends.

I would get the yankees legends stuff, more buyers and the yankee greats hold their value well.

I agree, that's probably what I'll do.

If you are a Yankee's fan then you have to pick those up.

I might be buying a box of those. I just have to see if you can actually pull some nice things.

I've bought way too much to buy a box. I'm a diehard Yankees fan. These packs are a must. :) Thanks for the input!

Doesn't look like I'm going to buy a box.

Too many crappy players. Many players I would not consider "Yankee Legends".

Still I buy a couple of packs. It might be fun.

1 Box of 2001 UD Prospect Premieres baseball

You can't go wrong with Yankees memorabilia; they're always valuable.

I bought 4 packs. The players are sentimental to me, so...i consider them legends, lol. I bought 4 packs of them, and get this: 1 rack back of 36 cards from 1982 Topps! :)

Tim

I'll let everyone know how I fare. Let's go Babe Ruth 1/1 !

Cal Ripken Jr., and Lee Smith RCs are in there. I'm working on a 1983 pack. Next purchase: 1986 Fleer basketball :)

I'll let everyone know what I get.

Well I hope you pull something good out of them.

I just saw a guy open up a whole box of them and he pulled NOTHING. All of the autograph cards he got could maybe get him $10 on eBay.

I have decided not to buy any packs of them.

Probably just buy the Mattingly Autograph instead.

Thanks, I'm definitely going to buy one box because of sentimental value. Those cards look great. A Brian Cashman would be nice, probably get a few dollars because he never signs anywhere else.

oh boy, that 1986-1987 Fleer set is a doozy!! Packed with a ton of valuable cards, topped off with Jordan's card. Now that's the only 1980s - present card that I would say is worth $1000 or more.

And I loved that design during the year!!

They're here!
The rack pack of 1982 Topps yielded a Nolan Ryan highlights card and a Rookie Card with three guys from the A's on it. Not Cal Ripken, but for $7, who cares.

My four Yankees Signature packs yielded:
1. Jim Kaat Pride of New York Signature
2. Jimmy Key Pride of New York Signature
3. Ken Singleton Announcer Pride of New York Signature
4. Yogi Berra Pride of New York Signature Redemption card

The last card is going to be sweet; I redeemed it online, they start fulfilling redemptions 5/27/03. Let's hope I get it soon!
