it doesnt seem like sp authentic is sp authentic if it doesnt have the rookie patch autos :/

I have completely lost interest in Upper Deck basketball products.

Doesn't Panini have Turner, Wall & Wesley Johnson to exclusive deals? They basically have all the rookies that are worth while, seems like this may be another attempt for UD to unload inventory

[nightbreedbeats]

Can't UD just bow out of the basketball card business gracefully? Topps seems to have taken the high road, luckily.

UD needs to make a set in there dedicated to Kareem Abdul Jabbar, LOL

And honestly I hate those ugly manufactured "lettermen" cards with horrible AUTOs on them. I would be mad if I pulled their flagship card, a Jordan AUTO barely visible on a manufactured letter, whohooo!

Make a decent on card AUTO set UD, instead of dumping stickers!

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.

Honestly that doesnt mean much to me. If I wanted a Jordan AUTO I would buy one, but I feel Jordan AUTOs are way overproduced and overpriced.

Every UD set that comes out has atleast 1 or more Jordan AUTO(s), its like Panini and Kobe. To me that makes them less desirable.

This is basically UD's lame version of Press Pass or Press Pass Legends, which most collectors (including myself) would never touch.

No way... in most UD sets Jordan has very little autographs while in some Panini products (like Threads) Kobe has a whopping 1,600 autographs. Kobe Autos are gonna start dropping in stock if Panini keeps this up.

And UD is trying to stay alive in Basketball because they may have a shot at a license when Panini's runs out in a couple years.
