Anybody buying SPX tomorrow?

[Footscray]

Upper deck SPX comes out tomorrow at 160 a box or so with one rookie jersey and one rookie jersey autograph per box among the other rookies and jersey cards etc. I am torn about spending the money to end up with crappy card but the crosby could finance a vacation and the Phaneuf would be a keeper, anybody else buying some?

On ebay, crosby is only going for about $150... and some of the others for about $40...

or are u talking about the rookie/autograph/jersey?

[Footscray]

Ya you get a couple normal rookie cards per box too like that. I did mean the jersey auto of which there is one up at 1200 USD, wow.

I'd buy a box. I'm wondering, what's the "best" type of cards these days?

I haven't bought any for years until the huge number of amazing rookies this year got me interested and I have been wondering the same thing. It's pretty much only Upper Deck this year who have a few different sets, picking between them is mostly personal preference - excepting that they have a couple cheaper mass produced sets for kids at the corner store like MVP.

Ebay is a great place to look around and get an idea of value, or beckett magazine online has good breakdowns of the various products this year on their hockey site.
