I pretty recently collected the shiny stuff, before becoming completely disgusted with it all. When I was buying it, UD was my favorite. But UD is the main reason I gave them up. I've had the common redemption problems, waiting 2 years before they gave me a different card than what I was waiting for, and I'm still waiting on a Mystery Cuts redemption that should have been delivered in September. I've also had the common collation problems like 4 short prints per box and I got 2 cards each of 2 players. I recently bought a box of 2009 UD football (I should have known better) that should have had 3 jersey cards and 1 auto, only to receive just 1 jersey card. But what really did me in were the reports of the "special" printings of the Griffey Jr rookie and what they did with the Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
I for one will not be sad when Upper Deck goes under.
