What I Thought:
3 Mini boxes with 3 different looks makes this a great looking product for anyone. This was one of the most fun boxes I have opened recently. I love the look of the clear cards (they remind me of EX2000) and the great looking Autos and GU. We pulled 2 Autos and a GU from the box with 1 being a combo GU/Auto card. A must buy for any baseball collector.


The Odds / Product Description
Configuration: 3 mini-boxes per box. 5 packs per mini-box. 3 cards per pack.

Sweet break, pulling a top 2B auto jersey is a nice pull. The different types of cards like the foil board are sweet additions!

Not an amazing break for you, BUT there is potential for some REALLY nice stuff in this product. The design and layout of the cards is nice and again makes me look forward to the basketball products that UD has planned for the future.

I like the look of the GU/AU that I've seen from this set. They got some big pulls in the product (Cal Ripken Jr. AU!). Unfortunately, not a great break after looking at the BV's. Roberts BV is the highest.

Wow! The rookie cards are sweet looking! One of the nicest I've seen in a long while Love the looks of the Clear Cut Elements cards, and the dual Essential Elements are very attractive. The Elemental Autos are also very appealing to the eye. Although, the pulls from this box weren't the best of players, I think this product is one of the nicest I've seen in a while, at a price point that is easy to live with. I give this product a 9.5/10, and will be giving it a shot. Thanks very much to Upper Deck for supplying us with this product sample.

Nice job with UD doing the mini-box style as well as a full box style. Good quality photography and design.

Elements looks very nice.
