look forward to seeing the checklist. Hope to see some names that have never signed for the card companies before (and there were a few in the first edition)

Chronology is a beautiful product, however it is so expensive and completely hit or miss. I prefer to allow others with greater disposable income bust this stuff while I sit back and bid/trade for the stuff I want.

That said, I really love the Price/Roy dual auto /25!

I'm of the same mindset. I won't touch it at its price point - but I've been happy to add a handful of auto'd cards that I identified as major upgrades for my collection (love the look of them).

I wonder if UD is making this a "mixed" set (retired, and current players) to try and deal with the awful value? For me... picking up a Brian Benning autograph was a must, but I knew I just had to wait a month or two after release, and I could get one for five bucks. I'm assuming he wasn't high on many people's want list.... and there's a TON of other players comparable to him.

While I think the over use of all-things rookie is quickly leading to the medium/long term devaluation of pretty much all wax.... it's what the people seem to want, so why not give it them?

It was nice seeing a checklist that was ALL retired players. It let UD get deeper into that catalog of players. I suppose now the 200 signers will be 100 retired players, 50 current stars, and 50 rookies.... leaving UD with (mostly) the same crop of players they use over and over again.

My thoughts exactly! I will be once again viewing Chronology from afar and loving every minute of it. They truly are beautiful cards. Maybe I'll pick something up for my random Goalie PC. We'll see.

Get rid of the current players and bring back more irrelevant names from the past please. I'll take a Martin Straka Islanders auto.

[shockandroy]

Like the look but probably won't be buying.

[Maggot]

Had I known Chronology 1 would become an E-Krap product, I wouldn't have bought in. Knowing that now, I'll be looking for singles in the aftermarket. I really feel UD should be telling us beforehand if something is going to be on E-Pack, feels like a bait and switch when they don't.
