Here's what I pulled in our box of 2008 SP Rookie Threads:
Base Set
The base cards are sharp looking, with great team colors bordering the bottom of the card. We received 15/100 base card set, so this set will be tough to get together just on the base cards alone!
Memorabilia Cards
Our Rookie Super Swatch card was of Matt Ryan, a beautiful card with an oversize swatch of jersey numbered /25. We also pulled a trio threads card of Brian Brohm, John David Booty and Chad Henne numbered /100. We pulled two Flashback Fabrics, Brady Quinn /115 and Calvin Johnson /200. Our Rookie Threads cards were Kevin Smith and Mario Manningham both numbered /250. The Rookie Numbers inserts were of Andre Caldwell /87 - two different colored swatches, and Glenn Dorsey /75 - three colored patch.
Autographed Cards
Our Autographed cards consisted of a Ray Rice Scripted in Time /230, a Fred Davis SP Authentic /249 and a Dual auto of Chad Henne and John David Booty /99.
Autographed Memorabilia/Letterman Cards
Our Autographed memorabilia cards or Letterman cards consisted of a Jake Long L for Long /62 and a Fred Davis J for Trojans 2/7!
Final Thoughts on 2008 SP Rookie Threads:
This is a very nice product for those looking for some nice cards and wanting some potential for a great hit. These boxes can usually be had for around $230-250 on some sites that I have checked. While it is a bit expensive for a pack of cards, you do get some bang for your buck.
Here's how I would rate this product;
Value = 5
Innovation = 5
Fun and Experience = 5
Re-buy Value = 4
I rate this product an "A" for Upper Deck! I enjoyed some of the nice hits, I would have liked a complete base set, but overall a lot of fun to open and some great cards to collect and trade.
