Another UD boo boo.........

Depending on the scope of your collection, it's impossible to boycott UD. For player collectors..... we (for the most part) want everything. Set builders, and Rookie card fans though.... I could see a lot of that business switching to ITG if they ever get their licence back.

Gentlemen... how much longer are people going to put up with this pathetic company??

I am not sinking any more money into UD products. I don't care if ITG has any license or not. They at least have a QA department that works. EVEN if they screw up they make it public and will please the customer... LET UD worry about Baseball, Basketball and Football......

My hockey passion now lies with ITG. And yes Don I will back it up.

Speaking as one that's a very big possibility for Set Collectors.

My only problem is that I like the entire set to look good and sometimes ITG just doens't make that happen.

For Don at least, I can say this. 5 Years ago, my spending was 100% Upper Deck. 4-2 years ago my spending was 90%+ Upper Deck. As of the past two years my spending has been slowly shifted to about 60% Upper Deck. Total spending in the past 3 years has been pretty constant to, to that's a significant chunk gone from UD.

Sometimes Boycotting is a gradual thing. As long as I chase my 04-05 Upper Deck project, I will always be spending a little on them. But with the release of Champs and Allen & Ginter and the (occasionally) good looking ITG products, that % will go lower.
