3.0 out of 5 stars
The budget "Deck", June 5, 2009
This review is from: 2009 Upper Deck First Edition Baseball Trading Cards (Sports)
I recently got back into baseball cards, and found these on a shelf at a local store. Being naive, I thought first edition was Upper Deck's way of saying "series 1" (though they actually DO have a series 1, it wasn't in stock!)
Anyway, "first edition" is essentially Upper Deck's 'cheap' cards. Its a 300 card set, but there are very few inserts aside from the "star quest" cards which are more desirable in their "colored variations" in Series 1 and 2. Now, getting started in a collection, this is a great value- but you're not getting the full experience of Series 1 and 2. Also the cards are matte finish instead of Upper Deck's usual glossy finish (which would make them more friendly to autograph sharpies...)
