SPx seems to be a hit or miss product for Upper Deck, and in my personal opinion 2010-11 SPx missed the mark. It is a higher cost than one would hope for from a mid-range product, and focuses almost exclusively on rookies.  However, it does provide nice selection for fans of memorabilia cards, with each […]

2010-11 SP Authentic is a shining example of why SPA remains such a popular product. Each box offers 3 or 4 autographs, and has a great selection of rookies to choose from. PK Subban, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, and Jeff Skinner are only a few of the names that crop up in this years rookie […]

2011-12 Black Diamond was a much different product from the Black Diamond now in circulation. A decidedly mid-range product, it focused on the Diamond cards as insert, and the inclusion of rookies.
