For most of its run, Collector's Choice was the set I enjoyed the most each year. Every other set was getting more and more outlandish and foily and gaudy, while CC was keeping it basic and attractive. I was very disappointed when it went away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-49737098590322568442015-05-08T17:56:51.624-05:002015-05-08T17:56:51.624-05:00I kinda missed out on CC during the 90's, beca...I kinda missed out on CC during the 90's, because it was a little too low end for me. I was going in and out of the hobby... and when I did collect, I focused on products like EX-L, Finest, Bowman's Best, Flair, Emotion, and Chrome.<br /><br />But these days I enjoy going back and filling up the gaps with dime box purchases. CC had some amazing insert sets: Stick'ums, Crash the Game, and those bobble head things.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-78590309672085090652015-05-07T21:28:18.126-05:002015-05-07T21:28:18.126-05:00loved collector's choice as a kid, someo of my...loved collector's choice as a kid, someo of my favorite cards as well.

However, I ripped a box of it this year, and the collation was terrible, partially due to a much smaller base set. UD tried to make a ninety-nine cent product into a more mature, more futuristic set, and it failed miserably.<br />I classify 1999 UD Choice as a member of the Collector's Choice lexicon, but not everybody does. You can do what you wish with it.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874636239832076438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-55805402964531168592015-05-07T18:45:08.096-05:002015-05-07T18:45:08.096-05:00Silver signatures were really fun to collect, too ...Silver signatures were really fun to collect, too !Kevin Papoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043961407774793471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-41019810681604207622015-05-07T18:10:09.952-05:002015-05-07T18:10:09.952-05:00I really remember getting you tons of those as a c...I really remember getting you tons of those as a card newbie!....good times!!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028310351744038097noreply@blogger.com
