I am trying to get back into the collecting hobby. I have already picked up about five boxes of the Topps set for this year and decided to start picking up some Upper Deck. I'm not so sure about which set I like better yet. Here's my question for you though;<BR/><BR/>In the Upper Deck set I opened up a Ryan Howard Starquest card, and it is marked as Ultra Rare. I didn't see anywhere telling me exactly how rare it is. Any idea? I'm not out for selling it or anything because A) I never sell my cards, and B) I make sure I know where all of my Phillies cards go (favorite team).<BR/><BR/>Great blog! I'll be back!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119957238688676300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28229417.post-85382565024434859802008-02-26T23:59:00.000-05:002008-02-26T23:59:00.000-05:00Have you looked at the backs of '08 UD?

Too bad they ruined the front with the hard-to-read silver foil.sruchrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252808315190609518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28229417.post-40530233251026704672008-02-26T23:56:00.000-05:002008-02-26T23:56:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.sruchrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252808315190609518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28229417.post-48605871290577689262008-02-18T18:49:00.000-05:002008-02-18T18:49:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing the box break and your review. ...Thanks for sharing the box break and your review. Just wondering why you give it a 4/5? Reading your review I it sounded like it would be a 2.5 or 3....<BR/><BR/>Seems like it's a down year for UD base. Foil on the fronts are hard to read, insers are zzzzzzzzzz inducing (save the Presidential cards which are merely timely), sorry no UD for me this year. <BR/><BR/>OK, who am I kidding, I've been turned off UD since the mid 90's so I wasn't likely to pick up on this set anyhow......thanks for the review all the same!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28229417.post-66567403856428259952008-02-18T14:23:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:23:00.000-05:00Wally Joyner, 88 OPC!

The fake O-Pee-Chee design does nothing for me though, I'll probably be building this set thru blasters.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.com
