dominion, ultimate, or the cup

[Habitforming]

I'm gonna grab a case of the cup and a case of dominion on their release dates. The only difference is that I won't open the Dominion case until I see what has been coming out of it.... too many redemptions or sticker autos and I'll flip it on ebay unopened.

The Cup ? ... it will be hard not to open it on the way home in the car.

I will do Ultimate and Cup, I won't be buying Dominion but will trade for PC Players, and I wouldn't touch another ITG product if I was given it for free.

Ultimate is looking pretty sweet this year, and the Cup is always sharp. It may be a little risky but more often than not worth it.

I probably would try Dominion if it wasn't for Panini's horrible customer service. I mean I've had some problems with Upper Deck in the past, but they [UD] have been coming up Aces in customer service lately. I also know that Panini is not listening to what their buyers and dealers are telling them about their products in terms of what is being complained about. But I will say for all those who fear sticker autos, I don't think they are using them for Dominion as it looks like all of the cards so far looked like hard signed for the mock-ups. Can anybody else shed some light on whether or not they will be hardsigned or stickers in Dominion?

The only one I've seen a checklist from so far is Dominion. It's not exactly a product that's in my price range, but there are FOR SURE some cards I'll be going after as singles.

Without seeing a checklist, I'll say the same thing about The Cup - though I suspect there will be less singles there that I'm going to chase.

I'm not sure if the OP was refering to ITG's Ultimate Memoribilia 11, or UD Ultimate Collection...... but I'm sure the UD Ultimate will once again a product I scratch my head at, and ask "why bother?". I do plan on busting a couple of packs of ITG UM 11 at the Expo next fall. Was very happy with what they put out last year.

There is an Ultimate checklist I saw it today. Unfortunately I don't remember where I saw it.

I like the patches in the cup but sometimes it just teases you with the prices some of the cards end at. Ultimate is a good way in my opinion to get some good patches for a pretty decent price. Im a big fan of the ultimate signatures aswell. I really liked them in 2005-06. It would be interesting to see the checklist of ultimate if it is around.

I agree with you flames, looking forward to a few or more boxes of ultimate.

Ok I have found it, click the link and then there will be a button for the checklist which will be in an excel worksheet. http://www.upperdeck.com/Products/Sp...on-hockey.aspx

Nice, thank you for the checklist. The only Flame base card is Iginla, thats kind of dissaponting I always like to get a few of them as they are serial numbered. The only card I saw of Backlund was an ultimate signature card. If any one sees any more of him in the checklist please let me know.

Thanks for the checklist. Only one Osgood to chase (and it's a 1/1 at that), but at least I can hunt for it!
