I was just going over the checklist for 2009 Exquisite, and I came across a few tidbits that people should think about going into this product. First, there are no Brett Favre autographs in this product from what I can tell. I searched every one of the auto subsets and Favre did not make an appearance. However, he does have a number of other cards, including a Rare Materials card.
Secondly, the tier 1 checklist for the RPAs is either going to make people very happy or very sad. For the singles buyers, it just got that much easier to buy Percy Harvin, Jeremy Maclin and Hakeem Nicks’ RPAs, they are all tier 2 and should be numbered to 225. However, Darrius Heyward-Bey is a tier 1, which means you might just kill your case chances right there. That also means there are much less of them, so that may also be a good thing.
Speaking of the popular rare materials cards, this year’s checklist looks much stronger than last year’s, so that is good, but it looks like there still is no auto on these cards a la 2007’s awesome 1-of-1’s. There still may be 1/1 logo cards as we had last year, but I wasnt able to tell from the preliminary checklists.
Interesting stuff so far, ill let you know if I find out anything else.
