I dont know whats so great about Exquisite when Ive seen so many box breaks where you get NOTHING for the money. Over half of the 800 boxes have t=less then 200 SV.
Agreed that means big time money for the FEW super huge hits but other then that you will lose big time on those boxes.

I'm not a big fan of National Treasures as a high end product. It has a high end price, but the sticker autos are a real disappointment for me.

I gotta say that i also don't like the stickers in National Treasures, but for what they lose with the sticker autos they make up with the nasty patches they inserted, especially the rc patch autos....comparing NT to exquisite rc patch autos i really like the size of the patches and the pieces panini used in NT

If you don't like sticker, you get all the redemption cards sitting in your backyard for last 2 years. Oh, once you put the code in UD website, your card is locked. You can't sell or trade.

I would take sticker auto over redemption. At least I have something on my hand or I can sell it anytime I want.

I think that the last true high-end release that really was worth the gamble is 07-08 Exquisite (Kevin Durant Rookie year, and all major NBA stars signing for UD). So for the last 2 years? NONE!!

I have seen many box breaks for 08-09 exquisite which were a total bust. The casing was wack, with the cards being placed visible when opening the box. Too many redemptions for the good cards. When you pull a 1/1 printing plate, you would get 2 base and a jersey cards (major bust!!) You would only win some money when hitting a logoman or D-Rose RC. Even when you pull a Jordan or LeBron you would be right around break-even.

09-10 exquisite was cranked out way to fast (just to beat the licence deadline). Cheap rookie card designs with just auto's no patches(they were on card, so UD does get a bonus point for that!!). But come on man, you would get 2 base, 1 jumbo jersey, 1 regular jersey and if you are really unlucky you would also get a RC of a player that doesnt sign with UD (so it would be a base RC). That just doesnt cut it for that kind of a high end product.
Plus what i found a major downside is NO Kobe and Durant auto's. That only leaves you with LeBron and Jordan to save your box (if you are looking for active superstars).

09-10 National Treasures to me is like Panini Limited with a higher price tag.
Come on Panini its nice to include 12 or 13 cards in the box, but with 4 being base and 4 regular jersey cards?!?
The Rookie cards were nice and if you pull one of the 4 or 5 top rookies you've done well. But other than a few Kobe auto's and logomans there isnt much value to warrant such a high price tag.
The Russell, Oscar, Bird, Magic and Kareem auto's most of the times dont even sell for half of the purchase price of the box. So there is virtually no chance of getting your money's worth.

Honestly to me there is no best high end product of the last 2 years. Like i said the last true high end product that really amazed me was 07-08 exquisite. It contained auto's from every true A-list star (Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Durant RC, Russell, Magic, Kareem, Bird, West) and warranted the high price tag, because there was a real chance you could hit some big cards.
