2008-09 Black Diamond was an excellent year for the popular Upper Deck product. It offered a balanced hit count that varied between inserts and parallels, as well as rookies and the jersey cards. While there is no guaranteed autograph, the product remains a fun and affordable option for collectors. Additionally, with a strong rookie class, the 2008-09 Rookie Gems are an excellent set for fans to chase.
