I don't know if you can completely blame UD for "ruining the hobby". How about putting some (if not a majority) of the blame on collectors? If no one buys this garbage, they don't make it. They are only supplying what the public is asking for in most cases. I will say that my 11 year old son loves the patch cards, the more colorful the better, and it has done more to raise his interest in the hobby than any other thing he has come across. He pulled a Babe Ruth card with a piece of bat on it a couple years ago and that card has done more for sparking an interest in older players than any documentary or book ever has. I know that horrifies many on this board, but that's the reality these days.
