If it’s just the YGs, why not go retail?

Retail is usually the best $/Young Guns, but of course you're losing out on the chances of pulling things like Clear Cuts, Exclusives, High Gloss etc.

But if you only care about YG's, then yes, retail is the way to go. For last year's series 2, you could buy almost 3 tins for the price of one hobby box, and get 3-4 more Young Guns.

Opened up another 3 over the weekend and got them for 140 per, glad I did. Pulled two Misa, a Schaefer, a Schaefer teammates, a Schaefer dazzler, a clear cut yg of Gritsyuk, and another Kindel.

I might have had the five worst boxes out there haha. Seems like everyone pulled a Schaefer. For next year’s series 2, if I don’t get a McKenna I might just quit opening boxes forever.

Kinda funny when you pull the top YG’s and still have to be happy you got them under current retail. Shows the current issue with UD lol

RandAlThor · 03-09-2026, 01:39 PM

Has anyone else noticed card damage near the top left corner (top edge) had a few young guns have the same damage in the same spot over a few different boxes.

Follow up to my earlier results.

I messaged UD about not getting a clear cut or "rare" hit of any kind in my first case, mostly just to complain.

They basically said nothing is guaranteed, but would send me a one time courtesy "hit" of some kind. Three weeks later, they delivered with a Clear Cut Ben Kindel YG. Much better than I would have expected. Credit where its due to UD customer service.

That’ll do!

I've pulled some decent cards from series 2, but after 6 boxes and 6 tins, still do not have a Schaefer yg.

thepilluh · 03-24-2026, 06:14 PM

Wow, I thought it was bad when I went 0-3 hobby boxes and no Shaefer yg. I did get a Misa yg numbered to 100 so that did make up for it.

This is why while I don’t have a horse in the race and glad when board members do well, the post below (EDIT thread below not post following) is abit annoying. People can open like you and they don’t even put one in, but can put a base, teammates and refs outburst in a single box lmao

A YG Exclusive of a top rookie is a major pull, congrats!

oldgoldy97 · 03-29-2026, 05:01 AM

Got two blasters with the jumbo YGs. Box one had a Misa jumbo. Box two had no jumbo so that was disappointing. Both had two regular YGs.

Also got two of the WM megas. Hit Schaefer, Kindel and Finnie YGs and a couple Schaefer inserts so it was a win overall.

Are we at the point where the print run on a given YG is at 100,000?

I’m sure it’s confirmation bias, but the amount of Celebrini, Demidov, Schaefer posted on a daily basis, and the constant ePack hits, I feel like we have to be close?

I always wonder what the value of YGs would be like if they serial numbered them. I wonder if my 35,857/90,000 Celebrini would still hold as much weight?

It would not surprise me at all if the print run is 100k or close to it. Base YGs don’t even register for me anymore honestly. The numbered ones are the way to go, even the Deluxe having 250 copies is a drop in the ocean compared to the likely print runs of the base. HG and Exclusives are already very coveted and I think the Deluxe will be up there in the future as well. Hell you could make another new parallel numbered to 1000 and it would still be a fraction of the base run.

outburst is probably 1000ish

Definitely feels like it could be in that ballpark. But without the serial numbering it could fluctuate from year to year and five years from now could be 2000 for all we know. But the red outburst will presumably always be out of 25. If they print 100k, 200k, or a million base YGs there will only be 360 Deluxe+Exclusives+HG. I’m not surprised the prices on big name HG and Exclusives have exploded over recent years as the hobby catches on to the overprinting of base.

Have they been selling these at any retail stores? I check like Target and Barnes and Noble and they have Series 1 but no Series 2

I've seen quite a bit of S2 on the shelves here in MI.

S2 hit my local Walmart right on schedule on the 18th, and I promptly cleaned them put. Have not seen a re-stock since then. (GVL,SC fwiw)

Hit another Schaefer but it was only the teammates card.
