Retail Rarity?

[Matty#41]

I just bought 20 packs of 2005 Upper Deck Rookie Debut Cards and here was the pull in "one" of the packs:

Sunday Swatch - Aaron Brooks
Saturday Swatch - Carlos Rogers
Saturday Swatch - Dan Orlovsky
Saturday Swatch - Frank Gore
Saturday Swatch - Ryan Moats


Is this normal for the set or is this a rarity considering it is a retail pack pull?

They all also say "Limited" above their names. Not sure if that changes anything?

i would say you are a lucky man and someone @ UD messed up

I did just stumble upon something on the Upper Deck homepage that talks about "Hot Packs", I wonder if this is exactly what they are referring to? It is definitely HOT. Thanks guys.

It probably was a Hot Pack. If you didn't know a Hot Pack is a randomly inserted pack that is loaded with good cards... exactly what you got.

There is the 'Saturday Swatches' set and the 'Saturday Swatches Limited'... the difference? The word "Limited'. All of the 'Limited' cards book maybe $1 or $2 more than the regular set. Just Upper Deck trying to flood the world with more jersey cards.

Thanks KR580 for the info, I did find the "Limiteds", quoted on Beckett.com actually lower than the regular swatches, and I cannot find a price for the limited Carlos Rogers Debut Ink--it only has an N/A next to it, any ideas?

Thanks,
