Nice looking set. When will the checklist be released? Curious to see if there are any Sabres in it.

Wonder when the box/case price will be -ahem- unveiled?

[Riverdome]

I'm usually good for a box or two of UM every release but those funds might have to be reallocated to HoH. Hard for me to guess on MSRP but seems like something along the lines of twice the per pack price of UM will be close.

OK - dumb question - how much were UM packs?

Box of 5 packs for roughly $500. A box contains 5 base, 5 autos and 5 memorabilia.

Seriously? $500 a box?! Well looks like I may only get a pack or two unless I hit a good scratch ticket

Can't wait for some awesome group breaks on this bad boy!

Can you imagine if we pull the Vezina or Richard RC in a group break? How many times can you say that? Should be a blast to open and looks like a pretty solid candidate for hockey product of the year.

[hairysasquatch]

I would definitely be up for a Group Break - I'm not a $1000/box kind of guy, more like a $800/case kind of guy.

[Riverdome]

Hope I'm wrong about 2X the pack price of UM, especially with the possibility of low-end rookies and buy-backs that could be considered only slightly better than base cards.

[Rinkwraith]

The way I'm picturing it let's say it's a 20 box master case with two cases of 10 inside. I'd be up for a draft hit snake style (if you are low in the first ten boxes, higher in the second ten boxes). 4 hits in a box so total of 40 possible spots with each 10 box case being labeled case #1 and case #2 to seperate it out.

Sounds like a plan - keep it on file!

[bprice]

There will be 4 cards per box/pack.

There will be 4 boxes in case and four cases in a Master Case.

Hope that helps.

Dr. Price - who/where will the UM 11 Super boxes be sold at the Nat'l?

[Rinkwraith]

Thanks Brian, that helps set some ideas in motion.

So if it is a 4x4x4 deal then we are looking at

Case 1 and 2 for 32 hits then cases 3 and 4 for the second snake.

We'll divide the master case price by 32 and each slot gets two hits. I think this should be one of the better group breaks to get in on. Imagine walking out of this with one of the best hockey RC in the history of the sport guys.

Naturally Blowout Cards will have National SuperBoxes at the National.

There will also be two other dealers at the show with product but I don't feel it's appropriate to mention them on this forum.

Good enough - I wasn't sure if the case was only going to be available from ITG or if others were going to have them.

[mortuus]

looks very interesting gonna break a box or two perhaps.

I'm definitely interested, keep me posted on dates//costs, please!

[Rinkwraith]

Just saw first pre-sale pricing on this at 900 per 4 box case so master case would run about 3500 I'm guessing once BO puts the pricing up.

So looking at the above math if we do 32 slots (2 hits per each slot) slot prices are 110-120 roughly just with quick and easy math.

Estimated date is 12/20 on that too which cuts it right into the Christmas shipping schedule so just bare that in mind if we say "okay, break it after Christmas".

Questions, comments?
