2022 Marvel Fleer Ultra Avengers (Upper Deck, 2022) - Page 7

Not counting the unnumbered Green, the hobby has /360 as the highest numbered. That tells me there was a lot. Not to mention the /549 Orange in retail.

Unrelated, it's weird that the numbered parallels go all the way from /141 to the 1/1s. Nothing in-between.

DynaEtch · 03-15-2023, 06:00 PM

Yea the parallel numbering seems weird in this release. I guess some might consider the 'red foil' artist auto /63 a parallel about halfway between those. But even that's a big jump, /63 to /1.

Is there even a need to have a /360 or /549 be numbered? Getting kinda high up there. It's nice you can pull a numbered card in retail, but it almost feels like a cheat by UD to sneak it in there with the /549, which surely cant hold much value, it's almost no different than an unnumbered parallel.

Maybe that’s where some ePack achievements will come into play? Or maybe a new take on combinables? Like first X digital base combined get a /50?

Maybe they're seeing the Star Wars community where people are grading anything with a serial number. (Yuck...) Kinda makes sense with the COMC ability to send to grading once this hits ePack.

Blaster today.

Pulled a Red Skull Jambalaya

Gurds · 03-15-2023, 08:31 PM

Bought a blaster today while at target. They had like 20 of them available.

Hit a Checkmate Hero King Captain America. Odds are 1:720 packs.

Awesome.

Can’t wait for e pack to start. So they start flooding eBay so I can start buying

Right now you can tell that this product has not been opened at all. With the small amount of jambalayas on eBay

Yeah I thought the card was #'d out of 30 but it is of 30 in the series.

Need to list and get it gone soon.

True, and the non-stock image on COMC when it's numbered, so you can see what you're sending to grade.

It reminds me of /499, /999, /1999 etc in masterpieces. At which point does a serial number become meaningless? Probably is dependent on demand I guess.

Wow very nice. Talk about beatin the odds

Dacubs · 03-15-2023, 09:07 PM

I bought 2 blasters from target, but don't even know what I'm looking for as in good hits...

I did get a check mate hero pawn of hawkeye, so that was at least something different in the pack

I think 1/100 is a good place to draw the line. Anything higher and it's way too common.

Target still has these in stock online. If they were $20 a blaster I might buy another 1 or 2.

Agree. MM Battle Spectra Gems are /99, right in that sweet spot where the numbered still means something. They are on the market enough but not saturating it. There arent enough buyers in this non-sport niche to have /360s and /500s mean all that much.

Scifi Cards · 03-16-2023, 04:00 AM

I think the Orange being numbered is just a ploy to make retail buyers happier.

Basically meaningless, but it's a feel-good gesture.

Were the yellow in Spider-man blasters last year numbered?

One more set · 03-16-2023, 08:27 AM

Anybody done the math on the print run of jambalayas? Including retail, blasters and epack?

Yellows were not numbered.

Retail: ~84,000 blasters

Hobby/epack: Didnt do the math or have looked if its even possible, but heard someone in a video say they thought ~6,000 cases= 72k boxes (which would put it at more than Spidey metal). Anyone confirm this?

If those are indeed the numbers, then 875 jambas from retail, 6000 from hobby/epack. 30 in the set, so ~230 of each jambalaya. This is more than the number of jambas in any previous marvel set...trend seems to be increasing jamba print run as the years increase.

Nutcracker33 · 03-16-2023, 11:39 AM

opened 5 boxes across 2 inners, and hit this, i think i did ok even if i didnt hit a case hit

Man it’s such a nice looking product

azlans · 03-16-2023, 03:40 PM

what would you say is the grail for this set? Tough one isnt it.. I'm looking at the black opal 1:1s... and I cant decide... for me it would be between captain america , ironman or she-hulk... moonknight, war machine, thanos are honorable mentions
..

kyle1707 · 03-16-2023, 06:17 PM

O ya a black 1/1 Spider-Man would be my best guess

TimBuckTwo · 03-16-2023, 09:28 PM

I pulled a Hercules card that is all foil but looks like it is part of a puzzle but has no naming convention on it. There is a knee poking down from above him and what looks llike a Hulk shoulder below to right of him.

Any ideas what it is?

Part of a puzzle. Think it's called 3x3.

Recently saw a pic of the full 3x3 artwork and it looks amazing. By Tom Fleming. Hard to appreciate it in 1 card chunks.

This is one set I may go for even though I’m not collecting much of FUA. Possible it might get released as a lithograph achievement like the Hildebrandt one in 2018 ultra x-men.

What's even wilder is he said on FB that he only had 10 days to finish it.
