The Bottom Line
I've now busted a full Hobby box of this stuff, and I still don't understand what Upper Deck was going for with UDX.
Just about every one of the one-per-pack die-cuts has either A) A huge roller mark running the length of the card, or B) Is not properly die-cut.
I had no idea who the two AU were until I looked them both up on baseball-reference.com. Both Evan Meek and Josh Newman are 25-year-old rookie middle-inning relievers.
UDX-JO!!!!!!
Box Rating: 2 1/2 Gumsticks (out of five)
Product Rating: 1 Gumstick
I hope Upper Deck comes to its senses and brings back Fleer Ultra for 2009. (And by that I mean "Fleer Ultra" and not "Ultra SE.")

I think every box I've seen of this product has had a Josh Newman auto in it.
worst set of 2008?
Holy crap I would have to kill myself if I bought that box.
At least it wasn't another J Willingham Auto. I have to say those die cuts arent bad if you are a set builder, if they came out somewhat mint. I want to know when the people from pinnacle decided to play a joke on upper deck by printing these and slapping an Upper Deck label on them?
If you want to get rid of those J. Willingham autos, I will trade for them.
UD X gets my vote for worst product among all sports for the 2008 calander year
I have some more cards from your Want List set aside if you want to swap those Rivera, Posada and Jeter YSLs...
Eeeccch. I pulled a Newman auto too, so I feel your pain.
