Default Skybox Metal Universe Champions Hobby What to do with it

I have 1 master and 1 inner and paid a fortune for it. It has tanked in price. At current prices, is there any sense to busting the case open and hoping to win the lottery?

Considering your only hopes are hitting a retro Jordan LeBron or Tiger PMG personally I'd just hold imo. Heck...maybe Lawrence turns out and his PMG down the line is a big one.

I would just break it this weekend and have a blast doing it!

Share your results in the box break section.

I stared opening this product at $650/box, and dabbled in a box or two every $100-$150 decline in price, the most recent being $225 a box.

Lots of football first year guys in it, if Trevor Lawrence does well in the playoffs, it helps with moving some singles.

Go for a Tiger, jordan or Bron and enjoy - you are paying for the experience.

I don’t think boxes will ever reach $1000 again.

It really depends on your situation.

You have to know that the odds are stacked against you of hitting a major card or parallel. So if you want to rip it for the fun and hope you get something big that's one thing.

However, if you are ripping it because you need money and this could hurt you financially then maybe just take the money at current value and chalk it up as a loss and move into a different card or product. If you don't need the money but are just frustrated at the current market price then I'd say just hold onto them and see if maybe this product brings some kind of nostalgia to people in 5-10 years.

The Cardbrother is correct. I'd love to see what you get.

Oof I would put it away and forget about it for a few years, who knows what collectors will be after at that time and MAYBE it will have aged well. That's just my opinion but not sure how your circumstances are if needing to recoup the funds now.

I would not hold…upper deck is going to keep churning out these kind of products and each new Lebron/tiger/Jordan pmg that comes out will slightly devalue the older ones. They are all the same with out logos.

I would bust and list and sell as quick you can and hope you hit one of the big pmgs

I agree; without logos (and with some shoddy gym clothes on superstars), I can't ever see this product becoming more valuable. Cut bait.
