Ud Mystery Duel Cuts. Which Card Would You Have Picked.

alotofcards · 01-12-2008, 01:50 PM

After two days trying to figure out what I pulled out of 2007 EXQUISITE ROOKIE SIGNATURES. I got a call from UD and this email. I picked the Albert Einstein & Thomas Edison card. I was the fifth to and last so far to pick. If you had a choice and Roger Maris & Babe Ruth ,John F. Kennedy & Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis ,Marilyn Monroe & John F. Kennedy,Robert E. Lee & Ulysses S. Grant were gone. Who would have you picked?

HitDog44 · 01-12-2008, 02:03 PM

I think you made a solid choice since IMO these would be the hardest to obtain due to age/availability:

X - Albert Einstein & Thomas Edison
8 - King George V & Queen Mother

If I were picking to keep:
9 - Princess Diana & Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Great pull!!!!

merkin · 01-12-2008, 02:19 PM

I would think Princess Diana & Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis would be the best to resell....

Mystery Dual Cuts - Who do you take?

BAMBAM · 01-12-2008, 02:52 PM

With Monroe/ JFK (re-sale value) and Ruth/Maris (my own PC) gone, I'd have went with Cash / Elvis. Is there ANYONE, alive or dead with a bigger following ever ??? I think Princess Di would generate huge interest as well.

Monsters · 01-12-2008, 03:15 PM

That was the one other card I had difficulties chosing over...Einstein and Edison...Great Choice.

alotofcards · 01-12-2008, 03:20 PM

Monster You Won One Also?

frozenntimesports · 01-12-2008, 04:25 PM

I would take Carney and Gleason. Those guys were geniouses.

CaptainBOHICA · 01-12-2008, 04:29 PM

monster when are you expecting to get the card? im sure we'd all love to see scans of that bad boy

alotofcards · 01-12-2008, 07:51 PM

Monster still do not know which one you picked?

iluvfish2 · 01-12-2008, 07:58 PM

I think I would of picked the same one you did (Albert Einstein & Thomas Edison). Both sigs would be very old, both are legendary. And being a science guy myself, the card would be just cool! My dad would take anyting with Elvis, and my wife would without a doubt take Princess Di

Crash1207 · 01-12-2008, 09:51 PM

I think Monster took the Ruth/Maris

Mavisbike · 01-12-2008, 10:00 PM

i think the ruth maris would be one of the worse choices. each year a good few ruth/maris autos are produced.

the einstein/edison sounds AWESOME

the elvis/cash is also good

Either the elvis or Diana Would be worth the most id say. are you going to sell it. im guessing a 5-7,000$ price for the Einstein/edison

or keep it and have a center piece to a very strong collection?

kingofnfl22 · 01-12-2008, 10:11 PM

Great choice!! That would have been my pick of the ones that were left. I also like the Monroe/Kennedy. Maybe the Churchill/ Roosevelt.

alotofcards · 01-12-2008, 10:18 PM

MONROE KENNEDY was gone. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FIRST. I AM PROB GOING TO TRY TO SELL IT.

alotofcards · 01-12-2008, 10:19 PM

Did Monster Pick First?

chipmaster · 01-13-2008, 04:58 PM

Einstein/Edison, HANDS down is the BEST pick of that lot. I don't know of any two human beings in that list that contributed to our Society as well or as more than those two did.

My Second pick would be the King and Queen.

Another nice cut would have been Steve Jobs/Bill Gates; two Pioneers in their own right

I would have a Woody for the next month ot two, knowing I am actually going to get two of the biggest genius' of our century, or millenia for that matter! CONGRATS!

Sheetzman · 01-13-2008, 06:33 PM

from a resell spot princess di or elbis one but if i was keeping it def the one u chose

Monsters · 01-13-2008, 09:35 PM

ALOTO I picked second. Trust me...I had thought about it for the entire night...I was split between the Einstein and Edison and the Ruth...My pick was strictly as a collector and not for profit (staying in my PC)...just couldn't pass up on a Ruth 1/1 cut auto as I am a Huge sports fan and I would consider Ruths auto the best auto of ay athlete past or current....with that being said...I still think about the Einstein and Edison.

alotofcards · 01-13-2008, 10:02 PM

Monster what was the first pick? If your card was there for my picking i would have picked it for sure. I picked fifth.

Monsters · 01-14-2008, 12:19 AM

Monroe-Kennedy
Ruth-Maris
Kennedy-Onassis
Lee-Grant
Einstein-Edison

alotofcards · 01-14-2008, 11:26 AM

Choice one and two would have been the same for me. 3-5 i am not sure

alotofcards · 01-14-2008, 05:47 PM

1 - Marilyn Monroe & John F. Kennedy -X
2 - Roger Maris & Babe Ruth - X
3- John F. Kennedy & Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - X
4 - Robert E. Lee & Ulysses S. Grant - X
5 - Albert Einstein & Thomas Edison - X
6 - Princess Diana & Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - X

thekramers5 · 01-14-2008, 07:24 PM

As much of a baseball fan as I am, and would ABSOLUTELY LOVE a Ruth auto in my PC - that would have been about #15 or later in my list.

Select a more rare auto, sell it, buy a Ruth SINGLE AUTO (i.e., without Maris - higher value, IMHO), and probably have a few grand left over to add to the PC collection??

alotofcards · 01-17-2008, 04:28 PM

1 - Marilyn Monroe & John F. Kennedy -X
2 - Roger Maris & Babe Ruth - X
