Pogs are back! At least in limited doses as an insert set in 2011 Ace Authentic Match Point 2 Tennis. While they give a quick nostalgia fix, the real draw is the combination of a strong checklist and value-driven content. Collectors will find five autographs in most boxes, as well as a memorabilia card and a ton of inserts. The checklist pays particular attention to tennis' biggest stars--Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal--by featuring them prominently in the insert, autograph and memorabilia sets. Match Point 2 is limited to 165 cases.
