Upper Deck Masterpieces Football
Posted by Tuff stuff
We wanted to get a little more cultured here on Bustin Wax, so we ripped open a box of: 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Football- 6 cards/pack
- 12 packs/box ($75)
In case you're not familiar, the idea behind this product is to offer painting portrait-like images of the players on the cards. Like miniature works of art on canvas, with credit given to the artists in some cases. Some like it, some don't, but you get a good mix of past, present and future stars. Here is what we found in this box: - Jordy Nelson Stroke of Genius auto card (black frame)
- Dwayne Bowe patch card (green frame)
- Chad Johnson patch card (green frame)
- 4 black frame: Vince Young, Lester Hayes, Chris Long and Walter Payton
- 2 red frame: LaDainian Tomlinson (numbered to 199) and Mario Manningham (numbered to 199)
- 1 brown frame: Matt Forte (numbered to 25)
And now on to the video:
