2011-12 Exquisite case... meh.

meepzork · 04-24-2014, 10:57 AM

After watching break videos and scouring BO forum break threads for months, I decided to bite the bullet. I didnt get anything I was hoping for(ANY non-shadowbox jordan, ANY Bird auto, a multi or booklet). So Ive come here so you guys can help me feel better/worse about all the money i spent.
Notes:
1. all 3 packs/boxes had the same stuff inside, is that normal?
-base /championship bling /black /dimension /rookie /personal touch
2. I was surprised to see so many dupes (player/card)
3. several of the cards were damaged. how is UD support?
I guess with the price point and the whole "hand collated for best value" guarantee I assumed dupes and quality control wouldnt be an issue. Anyhow heres the break:

Yeah this was not very good, no Lebron Auto? I believe they are in 95% of the cases! Sorry my post won't make you feel any better!

I thought Id update since it looks like no one except jdhaugh11 had an opinion. A few weeks later im feeling better about the break. I didnt get what I wanted, but the fact remains that for the price I paid, I got WAY more value than pretty much any other product out there.

Also, I contacted UD support regarding the damaged cards. They fought me a little bit since 11-12 Exquisite was "out of warranty", but ended up sending me some "compensation" cards because i whined and cried so much.

Lessons learned:
1. UD warranty period is 1 year from release date
2. UD does not replace damaged exquisite cards, only "compensates"

What were your "compensations?"

Not a good break, but really not the worst. I didn't have identical collation but it wouldn't surprise me either.

The UD care package consisted of:

2012-13 Exquisite Collection Autographs #DC Dave Cowens /99

I rarely take more than 1 look at a card after I purchase or ebay or receive it in a break. Payments are expected within 6 hours of purchase. Failure to pay / communicate within a 6 hour timeframe will result in cancellation.
