    Opened my box last night. I got 5 of the Future Heroes, 1 America's
    Team and the Trade Upper Deck card.  The checklist card for the Fu-
    ture Heroes wasn't a painting/drawing type of card this time,  just
    a card of Emmett Smith.

    I bit on 2 boxes, got the Trade card, 2 heroes and 1 America's Team
    loser in one box, in the other I got 4 America's team losers and
    2 future heroes.  Nice job by UD once again, although I can't
    decide whether the glossy is an improvement or not, if they stick
    like 93 baseball then it isn't an improvement.  Nice to see single
    series but with 530 total cards I was still 46 cards short of a set
    after two boxes.
    
    I'd like to trade loser cowboys inserts for future heroes if anyone
    is interested.  Or I'll buy your future heroes that I need.
    
    UD has stated to dealers there will be no update and no factory sets
    for football this year, retail wax is supposed to have Pro Bowl
    inserts in place of America's loser Team, don't know if they will
    be similiar to last year's "rainbow" design or what, but I believe
    they are supposed to feature two players per card again.
    
    Production is supposed to be down ~35% from last year's combined
    low and high series football production, fwiw.

581.3Redemption CardsRUFUS2::HAYESWed Oct 27 1993 11:209
Just got back the UD Football Exchange Cards. I received only six with
DE1 being missing. The back of the redemption card said up to 7 rookies.
Has anyone else got theirs back?

The six I got were:

Bledsoe, Mirer, Hearst, Jones, Conway and Bettis. They were labeled DE2 to DE7.

    Worth paying $16-$18 for?
    
581.5Exchange CardsRUFUS2::HAYESWed Oct 27 1993 14:416
The cards are similar to the Playoff design (IMO). If Bledsoe and Mirer
are worth $7 each in Playoff and the number of exchange cards are equal
to or less then the Playoff numbers I'd answer yes, they are worth the
$16-$18. Hearst and Bettis are doing well also.

    Walt,
    
    I agree with Steve.
    
    I think these cards look great!!!!  I think the Bledsoe rookie exchange
    is better than his Playoff card.  The holo in the background gives the
    card more depth than the Playoff equivalent.
    
    I too am disappointed that UD didn't return the RE1 card, some now
    we've got RE2 through RE7, with RE1 missing.
    
    Great set!!  Definitely worth $18!!!
    
    Regards,
    Denny
    
581.7maybe worth $18, but can be had for lessSEND::TANCILLSponsered by nobodyThu Oct 28 1993 23:467
    
    Are you saying you're going to pay $18 for an exchange card?
    I wouldn't, you can do better, at one time I had them for $12.
    Also I think I saw one for $14 in a store today...

581.8Is this it?ICARUS::LEONHARDTFri Oct 29 1993 15:453
    I got the same.  Who/What is RE1?
    
    Dick (willing to trade the other REs for the Mirer/Bettis!!!)
581.9PENUTS::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Fri Oct 29 1993 21:513
    RE1 is probably the exchange card itself.
    
    John
581.10RE! is the exchange cards and found 2 RE1s!!!CARTUN::PAVLOCKSat Oct 30 1993 23:0413
    
    John's is right.
    
    The RE1 is the exchange card itself.  I wish they would have sent it
    back with the other Re cards...
    
    BTW, for anyone that's interested I saw two UD Rookie exchange cards at
    Great American Baseball Cards, W. Concord, Mass (508-371-2300) for $10
    each.
