2010-11 SP Authentic Basketball Card Preview

[hanski]

you should be fortunate that MJ IS in a set that we can all collect.

Pretty happy with GOTG so this should be good IMO.

GOTG was quite possibly the worst product of the 2009/10 season....

I think UD has a market as long as they have exclusive rights to Jordan. Personally, I do hope UD gets the NBA license too when Panini's contract expires (would not mind the market having both UD and Panini NBA cards so I have a choice). They might not be able to get the license though since their business is having legal issues.

Looking at the pictures, I like the design on this product more than Panini stuff already (like the Chirography), but unfortunately I won't collect any of these since I don't like college cards, unless they can produce some UNLV stuff.

Looks like UD is doing some neat stuff though like reintroducing some rare inserts:

Holo F/X Die-Cuts (1:144)
Michael Jordan Supreme Court (1:96) (Includes an oversized 1.5″ x 2″ floor piece!, which is neat)
Sign of the Times Signatures (1:128)

The ‘Cutting Down the Nets’ insert cards would've been cool if they had actual GU nets that were cut down for those championships or even if they were used in games. Unfortunately, I think these are just plain insert cards.

BTW GOTG was a disaster (except for the Christian Laettner auto), cheap looking cards, uninteresting players, sticker autos, heck they even got sued for illegally using Kareem's images.

Let's hope they can keep the autos for this product on card. Hopefully someone breaks this products so I can get one of those Jordan Floor cards on ebay haha. . .

so you didn't likethe Jordan's from GOTG?

Not at all. I prefer autos of him in a Bulls Uni. There are a lot of his cards/autos out there which is more attractive to me. I'm not into the whole black and white photos either. I would not be actively searching for or spending money on one anytime soon. If I had one, I would be actively trying to get rid of it.

ok fair enough, Each to their own. Personally its very refreshing to see MJ in a college uni for me.

Definitely, but the MJ is a decent card in that set and not the reason why the product was not popular and valued as a whole.

True. I only collect MJ anyway, so the rest is just common fodder for me.
