Should I hold out any hope that Upper Deck (or anyone else) will produce a set this season?

[Fkesoccer]

Don't count on it.
and if they do, they better not be charging 4 dollars a pack for 5 cards..

[TheCrew04]

nope, upperdeck will sell the cards for about 20 a card. cheap. stupid gimmick. and if you act now, in the set you'll get a piece of their skin! the weirdest inserts are in now.

[Hawkeye17]

Not this year. The market seems to be driven towards Premiership or European players and Upper Deck would rather fill that.

Too bad not another company is picking up the void to produce MLS soccer cards.

[TheCrew04]

do you know how much revenue they will get from the people on this forum alone?


































Lots.

[Hawkeye17]

The league ought to try to ink a deal with a card company, be Upper Deck, Topps, Fleer, or whoever is willing. The market is there, however those companies think otherwise which is a shame.

Soccer cards are a niche market, and so as long as one or two companies are willing to tap into this it will generate revenue.

Maybe not as much compared to the other sports, but a set of MLS cards mixed in with World Cup stars and US National Team players not in the league would satisfy the collector's demands.

I would do away with the subsets if at all possible though those generate the highest price due to their limited make.

Cheers!

It's all inspired work. I can come up with something beautiful for anything. It's a curse
