I love UD Black. I'm sure the cards are better in person.

Just like last year, this is a product better bought as singles on the Bay.

I think i like last years design better but i will wait to see them, and yes i think i will only go for singles rather than buying a box

Some of those designs are actually pretty sharp, too bad half the box is made up of manufactured letter patches from late-season call-ups and unknown rookies. Definitely a singles product.

I gotta say, the Pride of a Nation have to be one of the sweetest sets of cards I have ever seen. I don't know, I just think they are so nice to look at.

That's the problem with this products, the design are daring and wonderful, but unless buying a case or more, who wants to spend money on boxes? They should take $500 instead, and make one box of ten cards in it. Whereof only two cards were Lettermans. I would love to buy that (if I had the cash).

Love the look, it's by far my favorite as looks go..
Went through some of the checklist and i have to say not alot of hossa's..

But here is the call out for those busting this, i will be in the market for these players..

Marian hossa
darren helm
kyle turris
viktor tikhonov..

Where did you see the checklist?

Where did you see the checklist?I believe, even though I haven't personally checked. The checklist is on the Upper Deck site itself.

Yeah Black is awesome to look at but a huge gamble buying single boxes.

Can anyone tell me what the concept of these new "fold cards" is ? I've seen it published regarding Exquisite Basketball and now with the 09/10 Black Hockey. Thanks !

Will Tavares, Hedman, Duchesne, Kane, etc. be in this year's product for the Rookie Letterman inserts ?

I think they would probably be redemptions...

Will likely be redemption's /99 for Tavares, Hedman, and maybe Duchene and Kane if they play. Probably for Hodgson and Van Riemsdyk as well.

Is Van Riemsdyk playing this year ? I thought he had another year of college before playing in the NHL....thought he was going to come in next year ? I've been hearing real good things about Cody Hodgson.

he was signed at the end of last year if i'm not mistaken.. or i'm thinking of colin wilson.. I know he was signed :P

dual pride of nation look sweet!

JVR will at least play with the Phantoms next year. He signed a contract at the end of his college year last year and played a couple games with the Phantoms.

UD Black has (shockingly) not shipped on time again - does anyone know of a new release date?

think i read October 6 somewhere. this isn't a bad thing. gives wallets time to recharge and hopefully less redemptions since this is a hard signed product.

Thanks for that - I didn't have the Oct 6 date anywhere. Nice crack to start the new season, I guess!

UD's facebook page still says October 13
