Upper decks distribution of this product was interesting to say the least. Very very Upper Deckish..but I guess the reality is, is that these are not cards. They are memorabilia and marketed as such and sold as such however highly allocated to UDA dealers.

Some more signers popping up.

Cousins, Lavine, curry, iverson, magic Johnson, Vince Carter, dirk, rodman, penny, Simmons, Jamal Murray are who I've seen so far.

-Not available to Distributors like GTS, SH or others...
-Only available to UDA accounts.
-Allocated 2 boxes for every $5000 spent at UDA store.
-$350 per box was direct pricing on this.

*also mentioned that it was practically gone via the direct pricing at $5000 spent in UDA store.

Only 27 signers def possible but who knows. Looks like only ~2 cases worth of cards have surfaced so far hard to say how rare they are.

I am hoping that is because the Jordan and Lebron autos are in the boxes being delivered to me this week. Lol

CHECKLIST

From every break and ebay listing I have come across - as well as Upper Deck promotional material - 20 of the 27 players look like this (Sorted in my personal preferred order):

1. Lebron James
2. Michael Jordan
3. Ben Simmons
4. Steph Curry
5. Magic Johnson
6. Larry Bird
7. Jerry West
8. Allen Iverson
9. Vince Carter
10. Dirk Nowitzki
11. Alonzo Mourning
12. Penny Hardaway
13. Dennis Rodman
14. Kevin Love
15. Andrew Wiggins
16. Boogie Cousins
17. Kristaps Porzingis
18. Jamal Murray
19. Zach Lavine
20. Markelle Fultz
21. Thon Maker
22. Clyde Drexler
23. George Gervin
24. Karl Anthony Towns
25. Hakeem Olajuwon



PRODUCT RUN
As far as the case count goes, doing some quick math...
an NBA floor measures 94ftx50ft = 1128" x 600" which means you could fit approx 161 x 7in cuts down the long side and 120 x 5in cuts down the short side. (This is pure best case scenario not accounting for cut width which would cost at minimum 1/16th of an inch minimum per cut and assumes the floor comes only from the game floor area and not the out of bounds / floor seating area which Upper Deck would have also most likely used.)

This rough estimate translates to a total "card" count of 19,320 packs = 9660 Boxes or 966 Cases.



SET ODDS
Disclaimer: I came up with this from a paused frame of the SCC Breaks, I am fairly confident this is accurate but a physical box would make a much better confirmation. If you have one, let me know if I missed anything and I will update. My hypothesis comments in Italics.

i am soooo glad i didn't buy this...............as a card collector only, the size really puts me off.........still fun to watch the breaks

First truly high-end product since 12-13 Flawless. You guys saying this isn’t a card product are making Upper Deck very happy! They’ve circumvented the language in the exclusivity deal perfectly. Kind of funny how this memorabilia product has a thread with nearly 500 posts and thousands of views on the biggest card forum, yet we never discuss Leaf Treasury.

Because it does not belong in the off topic area.

Memorabilia like this is discussed here as well.

Not first truly high end product since then, but ok.

Over/Under Exquisite Simmons? I think most people will consider this the Ben Simmons "Supreme" rookie card from the product.

This makes sense. These guys have a ton of UDA stuff available and have been listing it since it's release. They are paying $3500 a case ($350 a box) and making bank.

You don't consider Flawless NT and Immaculate high-end products? Or what about Eminence or Kobe Eminence?

Say what you will about some of those products having a lot of fillers... but these could be an $800 box for a base piece of wood...

I think it will go over $5k. Kind of weird the auction is ending at 1 am EST on a Tuesday but has a lot of watchers already.

Thanks for the link. I noticed the picture of the Certificate of Authenticity calls this the Logo Man autograph. I figured that would be a 1/1, but I guess there are more than that.

See the set odds in my previous post above, there are many places in this set where "logo man" just refers to paint on the plank.

Wood is more valuable then slim pieces of cardboard. I don't get why alot of people hate this stuff because it's on wood. It's super creative by Upper Deck hopefully they can find some others ways to make stuff and give us some competition, which improves Panini's products and prices.

Oh! I see it. Cool, thanks.

[thenwhatjk]

A guy on Facebook said he got 60 boxes, how would that work?

Very underwhelming to me. I had initially thought about grabbing a single or two just to see what they were like in hand but after seeing the breaks and the overall look I will be giving this a hard pass. When is Immaculate coming out lol?

[COMCMax]

This was up for a few minutes. Seller didn't wait long to take an offer.

The price is definitely one of the many reasons that this product is absolutely ridiculous. Kudos to U.D. I guess, for coming up with a way to milk money out of their essentially wasted assets.

lol, I get it, but I did want to see what one looked like in hand just to have a more informed opinion. I am not a fan of Exquisite either but have owned several Exquisite cards.
