These UD Superstars cards are not that hard to find, but I just never pulled the trigger on them over the years. Well thanks to a big purchase from an eBay seller I now have two.
Obviously the big name is Lemiuex, but I think the triple card is my favorite. I was a huge fan of Kovalev during his Penguin years. Back during my Freshman year of college my friends and I would participate in the Penguins student rush in order to get cheap tickets. Sometimes you would get lucky and get some nice seats, other times you were stuck with obstructed view.
I haven't seen too many cards like this recently. The stupid licensing stuff screws up all the fun. I need a Cutch, Crosby and Big Ben card!
Thanks for reading!
These are very cool, nice pickups! I might try to locate the Detroit ones at some point.
ReplyDeleteSome cool combos exist. The one GCRL mentions is top notch.
DeleteWhen this set came out I didn't get any of it, because I viewed multi-sport sets at the time as if they were lower than dirt. Now I regret that.
ReplyDeleteJust think of all the trade bait you could have had for the baseball bloggers!
DeleteInteresting concept. I hadn't seen this set.
ReplyDeleteThey pop up a good bit on eBay. Check them out.
DeleteWoah that's a cool card that opens itself up to new potential possibilities.
ReplyDeleteLike the best player on all five (assuming the city also has a MLS team) big sport teams all on one card.
I bet these cards were worth a pretty penny back in the day. Guys like Kordell Stewart were so popular when they broke in. Now you can get his stuff for $1.
DeleteI have a few of these. The best one is probably gretzky/kobe/Shawn green triple relic. The early 2000s were not the apex of dodger teams.
ReplyDeleteKobe and Gretzky! Shawn Green was awesome, but that is a weird combo. Just like Giles and Lemieux!
