There are times when boxes bring out the joy of the hobby and sometimes you get the scorn. This might be the latter.

And, yes, we'll have these on video again soon - so don't worry our reading-challenged friends.

Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Baseball
4 cards/pack/box ($99)

This pack is supposed to offer a memorabilia or auto card among the contents, with the big draw being multiple-autographed versions. And, the "base" cards are all limited in number as well. But....

The auto/memorabilia card in this pack was Jeff Francoeur, who signed some game-used pants in a super swatch. It's numbered to 99. In the past, you might get excited over this former Braves top prospect. But his lousy 2008 season (including a demotion to the minors) doesn't bring a lot of excitement into this mix.

The other base cards include:

• Jake Peavy (numbered to 350)
• Brian Roberts (numbered to 350)
• Adrian Gonzalez (numbered to 350)

So, what do you think?
