UD brought me back into the hobby in 1990. I couldn't resist their cards. Im a guy, so i like shiny things. But after opening a couple boxes of early UD, i gave up on them due to collation issues. I remember opening 2 boxes of football cards and my doubles stack was twice what my card stack was and i still need 125 or so cards.
I think UD raised the bar for other companies and for that i am thankful, but in recent years i have only purchased Topps/Bowman products in box form, with the exception being hockey, as UD still rules the hockey card market.

UD will still do hockey, but what impact will Panini have since they also picked up a hockey license? Hockey is not a big national seller, and having 2 companies split a small market doesn't leave a lot for either.

I cant see Panini doing alot, they are a small player in the hockey market in Canada, the most i have seen from them are sticker books. the US hockey market may be small, but it still dominates the Canadian Market.
Other then UD brands, the only cards worth collecting are BAP and In the Game.

The couple of years in the early 90s I dabbled in current cards, I thought by far the nicest were the Topps Stadium Club.

This thread reminds me of an old Sinatra song .....
The title may be incorrect, but it's something to the effect of:
"There Use to be a Ball Park Here." From vintage pre war cards. To vintage slabs. To vintage crossovers. To vintage UD's. ... "There Use to be a Ball Park Here."
