Most people purchasing 2006 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Baseball Cards are solely going after the autograph card in each box. They are very highly sought after cards because the autographs are on piece of baseball, gloves, or bats. Many of the autographs in the set are of proven stars as well, making the product even that more sought after.

2006 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Baseball Cards are a real gamble for a collector. If they pull a low-end autograph, it may only bring in a few dollars if they chose to re-sell it as a single card. On the other hand, if the autograph is of a superstar player, then that autograph could bring in a few hundred dollars, especially if it is one of the low numbered versions.

Instead of taking the gamble on a box, it is probably a better idea to use the money that you would have spent on that and just buy the autographs of your favorite players.
