There is nothing significantly different about these cards than anything else. It's all marketing hyperbole. If we were led to believe that Collector's Choice was anything different and it had a $300 price tag on it, people would still buy it. UD says these are short-prints, or whatever, they jack up the price, and everyone goes ga-ga for them, when in actuality, these are no different than if you bought a blaster box of regular Upper Deck.

LMAO!!!

 

[TribeBuckeyeFan]

You know what I mean - if they marked regular Upper Deck the same way this is marketed, or Ultimate Collection, then the prices of that product would be outrageous. What makes this so much better that one pack is the same price of a case of other stuff? Are they lined with sterling silver? Do you get a redemption for a solid gold bar? No, they are still cards just like all the other products on the market.

 

[GotGibson?]

No acutally I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN. Your not guarenteed in other boxes what you are with Exquisite. The reason people pay these sometimes crazy prices is because the cost of the box.

 

[HockeyFreak1]

its the first time i break exqusuite and may be the last I do not plan on breaking anymore due to how much the stuff is but I will try and buy singles if they are resonable prices I just wanted to break a box of exqusuite at least once, even if the box is bad I wont care

I recently bought a one pack blaster box of 07-08 Luxury Box that guarantees a GU - I pulled a 7-piece GU numbered 8/10. I paid $20. OK, you can maybe pull some super high end items from Exquisite, but your chances are just as good of pulling stuff that in no way would you get your money back. I would rather spend $20 and pull an Andrew Bogut GU then spend $500 and pull an Andrew Bogut GU and a Morris Almond (who?) Rookie Auto Patch. That's my point. I could buy 25 packs of the Luxury Box and get 25 GU (at least, maybe an auto here and there or a plate) for the same $500 that is spent on a pack of Exquisite. Which one is the better deal overall? If you should pull a Lebron/Kobe dual auto (assuming they have one in Exquisite), great, you will make your money back, but how many of those would be available?

No acutally I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN. Your not guarenteed in other boxes what you are with Exquisite. The reason people pay these sometimes crazy prices is because the cost of the box.
