A little help with this Price card...

[19richards]

I've been out of the hobby for a few years now but decided to try a few boxes. One was a 13-14 Ultimate pack. I pulled the expected base, RC, GUed, and auto but my question is with the auto I got. I didn't notice until I was trying to organize some cards but the Carey Price auto is from the 2012-13 edition. The rest of the cards clearly say 2013-14 except for the Price which, of course, says 2012-13. I looked on the UD website and both Price's 2013 and 2014 signature card is US-CP so that didn't help. Checked Google images and it does indeed look like it is the 2012-13 copy. Did UD put these in the 2013-14 product? As I said, I've been out of the game for awhile and apologize if it is normal to pull a card from a previous issue without it being a "buyback" these days. Thanks!

At least thirteen of the 2012-13 cards were included in 2013-14 packs. I believe it has something to do with having to wait to get the signed cards back from the players. Of course if they are really late in returning the cards they can miss the packout date.

To further complicate things for you, is it the Habs auto or the Team Canada auto?

Cards that were not part of the packout or did not have a redemption as part of the packout are now showing in the next year's release as BUYBACKS!

No one's calling them buybacks. That's misleading. THey're just hits, sometimes bonus hits.

I totally agree with you on the TERM as being misleading as I was using what is used here .....

..... AND a more appropriate word to describe the cards might be UPDATE since they pertain to previous year(s) releases.
