Picked up a solitary pack of Upper Deck Game Used and am disappointed!
Game Used is an expensive product that features a hit per pack. In each pack there is one memorabilia card, and it would seem one Authentic Rookie, numbered out of at least 699. Last year's product did not seem to have a rookie per pack, so if it is true then this is a nice added value to this year's product. The un-pickling of this product is that the packs are expensive, include at most of 3 cards, and have an identical design from the previous year's.

The pack I broke had one base, one memorabilia, and one rookie card. The base cards are ugly, with an uninspired design where the player is silhouetted against an abstract background. There is nothing unique about this card design. The rookie was of Chad Kolarik, a mediocre pull. The rookie card, again, has an almost identical design to last years set. Finally, the memorabilia card was of Shane Doan and was not serial numbered. This is truly unfortunate as for a product that has a high price tag you would think they could number all their memorabilia cards. After all, the Artifacts product has all their memorabilia cards serial numbered yet their packs are a third of the price! Further, while the size of the jersey isn't too bad, it is no larger than the two-piece jerseys that Artifacts offers.
Even though I am giving this product a poor review, I may still pick up another pack. Perhaps the pack I picked up was a dud and the next will be better, however I am more inclined to pick up some more Artifacts over Game Used.
