Its hard to even get excited when you pull one! For example, I pulled a Matt Maloney magenta printing plate from 09 Topps Updates. Who??? Yeah, exactly. Well, there are actually four 1/1 printing plates of the guy, one for each color. And there are four 1/1 plates for EVERY SINGLE CARD IN THE SET!! So it's not really even 1/1. Same with those patch autos. I've got a Phil Hughes "A" numbered to 25. Not bad, right? Except there are approximately 25 cards of each letter that spells out PHIL HUGHES NEW YORK YANKEES, which is hardly rare. Grrrr....
