So 2 boxes out of like 40-50
smh

Don't think I saw any Stanley Cup Final / Outdoor mem cards besides banners/glass

edit- i did see a few net cords from the outdoor games, nothing from cup finals though

Stuff is already under 100/box on b2b. I remember when spgu and black diamond were 2 of my favorite releases.

CanadianKid · 12-15-2022, 05:45 PM

Glad I held off, price got tempting but ya not looking like a wise buy.

NotGoSportsBall · 12-15-2022, 05:47 PM

What is b2b?

natbornkiller · 12-15-2022, 06:07 PM

product has always been brutal
since day 1

NotGoSportsBall · 12-15-2022, 06:42 PM

The very first SPGU with the DiPietro, Gaborik, Cechmanek, etc was beautiful. I still have the base set with rookies. The rest have been hot garbage.

I had joined b2b a while back to see what real pricing looks like. It's amazing how brutal Upper Deck is - every single release eventually drops by at least 1/3 from it's release price. The only exceptions seem to be S1/S2, but I think that's a factor that based on the wholesale price the margins are terrible. Leaf is worse - those usually end up below cost - but Upper Deck is pretty bad too.

S1/s2 retail can get to below factory cost, fun to rip at those prices

NotGoSportsBall · 12-16-2022, 12:27 PM

I assume You have to be an actual dealer or breaker to get in on that action.

Upper Deck 2020-21, 21-22 and 2022-23 will be strong rips because of the rookie class. 2023 with Bedard will be crazy. If I was UD I would put his YG in 23 series 1 and his canvas in series 2

During the summer/fall is good time to look for discounted UD1-2 retail. Very fun when the YGs are in a decent condition.

Jwax13 · 01-18-2023, 06:51 PM

Anyone know the thickness of net cord cards? Need a one touch for mine.

mallowciraptor · 04-26-2023, 04:40 PM

SPGU dropped on ePack today. One pack was enough to realize opening this product was a mistake.

Dylan Larkin - Red Fragment /205
Tarmo Reunanen - Red Fragment Rookie /205
Radim Zohorna - Red Jersey
Garrett Pilon - Blue Auto
Wade Allison - 05/06 Retro Rookie
Tuukka Rask - Banner Year Lake Tahoe
Moritz Seider - Rookie Sweater /249

Anyone else do worse than this?

JohnnyAppleseed · 04-26-2023, 04:42 PM

that's what, 4 non-game-used materials cards in a "game used" product?

Just three from this pack.

I am genuinely curious what percentage of this product is actually "game used". All the ones I've seen say "player worn".

NHRonin · 04-26-2023, 05:56 PM

Did one box. Didn’t even get a scrub auto. My hit was a Debrincat patch out of 25…from when he was with Chicago. The patch is tiny and something I could likely get $5 for realistically.

imbluestreak23 · 04-26-2023, 06:05 PM

Great rip at $5/box. Probably wouldn't go higher.

valleynuckfan · 04-27-2023, 09:03 AM

Except when SPGU has been part of a multi-product break with other much better stuff I never touch this garbage. MAYBE a few singles here and there for PC purposes or a bonafide flipping profit. I did get a Draft Day Marks auto of Nick Suzuki in a multi-product random team break a few years ago out of a 2018-19 box but that would by far be the best and only decent hit ever for me.

NotGoSportsBall · 04-27-2023, 10:09 AM

The true rookies numbered to jersey number can be worth a few bucks but generally yeah it’s not a great product.

ewilkens · 04-27-2023, 10:19 AM

tried one box on epack and can't believe how lucky I got after seeing how trash this product is. I actually should get a decent return on the box.

Pulled a Carey Price Purple Patch Auto /5

hate the sticker auto though, but this is one of the few good breaks I've seen.

Archangel1775 · 04-27-2023, 12:46 PM

I did a case a few years ago. Hit a few solid cards and a 1/1 but that was definitely the last time I do that

cholodolo · 04-27-2023, 03:08 PM

I collect the Tonight's Lineup 1 of 1 cards from this set. For me, one of the only "game-used" aspects worth a damn.

If anyone has a Ducks one, I am the buyer. So far I have Gibson and Fowler.

I've held off on buying boxes or even a case because the breaks are, as the title says, brutal.

Phxcoyotes85 · 04-27-2023, 10:50 PM

I’m an absolute sucker for the Frameworks cards. Way easier than displaying actual jerseys hah

Nutcracker33 · 04-28-2023, 09:25 PM

made a mistake and did 4

considering this is a 20 box case, pulling a top end rookie auto, a nice patch + a true rookie in 4 boxes seems ok
