Which set should I build?

[garnett_21]

I'm looking to build a set of 2009-10 NBA cards - most likely just the base + rookies, and possibly the subsets if they are relatively easy - but I don't know which to choose...so, I'm asking you! I plan on building the set of Panini Prestige, as it's the inaugural Panini set, and would be cool to have...but, I also want to build either Topps of Upper Deck, but I don't know which...Upper Deck is a 300-card set, I believe, and Topps is a 330-card set...Upper Deck has the 3D Stars, Now Appearing and Masterpieces subsets, while Topps has the Draft Snapshots...so, help me decide! Give me your reasoning for why one set is better over the other. Thanks!

I really like that Masterpiece subset. I'd go with UD. Looks like Topps is throwin in the towel on everything but baseball and UFC.

I am doing Prestige...I'm asking about UD or Topps, in addition to Prestige...lol

Thanks for your thoughts, Kevin!

oh i though you were trying to decided about the 3 brands. but with topps or upper deck i would go with upperdeck even though im more of a topps guy. i just dont like the look of either the upper deck looks better than topps.

I'm definitely doing Prestige...inaugural set, new era of basketball...but I'd like one of the last "main" card brands sets as well...I built Topps in 0708, and UD in 0809 (and tried Topps, but never got too far with it, so I may just scrap going for it), so now I'm torn as to which to choose...

Upper Deck is great this year. Their inserts are all very nice.

I'd go with Upper Deck. It's hard to go wrong with the Masterpiece subset. In fact, it's a shame that it's only a subset, because the design has always been one of my favorites.

Thanks for your opinions, guys...I'm going with Topps...LOL, kidding...I am leaning towards Upper Deck now, but Topps seems easier to build...plus I have alot of this years Topps cards...ugh, the decisions! lol

Hey, I think Topps is a good choice. From a collectors standpoint, nice photography and nice set. Good luck!
