2005 Upper Deck Pro Sigs Results

Well the hit in the box wasn't as good as I was hoping for, but I hope everyone has enjoyed the break so far.  Below you'll see some of the cards a little more up close.  After the results are posted of the last box we'll use Random.org to raffle off the inserts of the unclaimed teams.

The base cards are pretty nice.  Each card has the Upper Deck logo, jersey number, Pro Sigs logo, player name, team logo and a facsimile signature stamped in bronze foil on the front.  Backs give you a little info on the player as well as stats from the last few seasons.

Flyball inserts come one per pack.  I'm guessing from what I see on the backs this was some sort of game.  Note on the front of this Mariano Rivera card it lists a web address to log onto to make the card interactive?

Each pack also contains 2 First Class Prospects.  The packs incorrectly lists these at 1:4 packs.  I wasn't familiar with the majority of these young players, but here a few RCs that at least show up in the Beckett listings.  From top to bottom, left to right.  Ubaldo Jimenez, Justin Verlander, Anibal Sanchez, Prince Fielder, Stephen Drew

Silver parallels.  Nothing flashy here - bronze foil replaced with silver.

Serially numbered gold parallels.  I know the foil doesn't look gold - it's more of a shiny reflective silver than gold.  Manny is numbered 073/350 while Mike is numbered 257/350.  Both cards will be randomed off.

The guaranteed hit was a Signature Sensations autograph of Red Sox prospect Abe Alvarez.  Yeah, I never heard of him either.  At least his signature looks cool.  This card will be randomed off.

Group Break - 2005 Upper Deck Pro Sigs

Up next in the group break is a box of 2005 Upper Deck Pro Sigs.  This box has one guaranteed autograph card plus a few parallels.  The packs state the Rookie Prospects cards were seeded 1:4 packs when in reality they are 2 per pack.  

I'm still fairly new when it comes to using video in group breaks so please be patient with me.  My wife graciously helped me film this box break - thanks babe.  If the lighting is bad, angle makes it hard to see the cards or if I'm just boring let me know so I can make adjustments next time I do a video!  Due to YouTube's 10 minute rule I had to break the video up into 2 parts.




Please look for another post to follow shortly highlighting the various inserts as well as the box hit.  We still have one box to go (1999 Fleer Sports Illustrated) so hang in there everyone!
