Well your view of UD and all the premium cards that followed is the majority opinion on this board. I, however, still say the negative feelings towards these cards has everything to do with how they ended up as investments and little to do with their overall quality. I'm sure if they're honest, there are some board members still stuck with a case of 1991 series 1 Leaf.

It's all about perception and opinion. One man's simple design is another man's clean, classic look. As for those "silly" holograms, I wish they would have come around decades earlier. Would have thwarted most of the dead serious counterfieting that still casts a dark shadow over the hobby.

And speaking of silly, 1981 Donruss cardboard Vs. 1989 UD, you can't be serious with that one. You never bothered comparing picture quality. As a true collector, I honestly wish UD, Stadium Club, and Leaf had come about a generation sooner. That way, the cards of my youth would be a vastly superior product and now obtainable at a tiny fraction of the cost. A bargain in my book.
