that's bad. I only used Weber becuase it was the one I got in my case back in the fall.

Those were from the French?
At least they put a stamp on them, and showed that they old cards, altered after they bought them back, and then re-inserted them.
But value wise, you're right. Problem with that 400 series 1 set is that there is only about two dozen cards that anyone would care about.

Yes. The silver stamps on them are a good idea, but like you said, there are only a handful of cards that are worth anything from that series. I guess everything can't be valuable/limited. It would drive the price of all cards down.

Bingo.
I think the buyback premise is neat, because these cards don't detract from what collectors are already guaranteed within the box or case. They're literally throw-ins. So what if UD is trying to clean out the warehouse? You're getting something extra for no charge. Lighten up.
I pulled some Season Leaders card from 1970-71 in a pack of O-Pee-Chee recently, and I loved it. It's a $5 card, but I don't care. It was nice to get a surprise in a pack of cards every so often, no matter the value.

Oh, come on UD! That really sucks. Usually buyback cards feature a big stamp or a nice autograph to make them special, but when they clean their warehouse and decide to insert original cards from old sets, now that just doesn't make sense.
The card was probably made to be sent as a redemption or a replacement. Now that it is "a little too old for that", UD just decided to re-insert them.
And the quote? "For your collecting pleasure?" Oh yeah, I'm sure some people are going nuts over this genius idea by UD.
What's next? Finnish SM-Liiga and Swedish Elitserien 1992/93 Rookie buyback cards! Yaaaay!
Did you contact UD about this? Maybe they have a good explanation.
