Fucale, Huson and McCaron YGs. That's serious!!
Interesting there's no YG Acetates, or perhaps they're a surprise.
Have the acetate YGs ever been on a pre-release checklist? I think they've always been a bonus.
My question is ... does UD2 get released online the same day through Upper Deck's store? I can't wait to see the carnage from all of the COMC sellers who can list their entire inventory from UD2 with a few clicks. Undercut, perhaps? This may just be the most heavily liquidated release of all time.
I was hoping Matt Murray (PIT) would have made the S2 checklist for a YG, since he appeared in games in late December.
I wonder if he will still appear in year end releases, or if he will be held over to next season?
I'm glad UD was able to squeeze Hrabarenka into a YG. Played 1 game last year and may never see the NHL again. Meanwhile Blandisi looks to have already cemented a permanent spot in the NHL. Granted he debuted late but there was time to fit him in.
But also 4 High Gloss Young Guns for you to chase....ouch
Looks like there is another UD update set inserted in SP Authentic this year. I thought that might have been a one time thing to take advantage of the Andrew Hammond hype last year, but it appears not. Pretty sure it was 20 traded players and 10 Young Guns. Still a chance!
Wait... The Group A Doug Gilmour Game Jersey is 1:588,924 packs? Holy $h|t
And jerseys are 1:48 overall instead of 1:24, so one in every other box for S2.
I wanted to go for the set!! ouch. Do we have a 1 on 1 jersey card here? Maybe! not more than 5 copies for sure!
again, this can be a typo and it's really 58 924? because 588 924 is one in every 2045 cases! lol
From a few Series I case breaks I saw, albeit a small sample size it looks like there were typically a couple exclusives x/100 per case. If they're seeded roughly the same in Series 2, then 250 cards * 100 copies / 2 per case = approx 25,000 cases... so I guess that'd put the Gilmour around HG territory with perhaps 12 copies? At least enough that hopefully a handful become available, but despite plain ol' jersey cards normally being bargain bin items, the UD set is pretty well-collected so I'm sure we'll see some bidding fireworks over the ones that do make it to the 'bay.
I will be looking for the Fucale and McCarron HG and Exclusives, so if anyone pulls them, please let me know.
Would be shocked if no acetate series 1 young guns. I don't think they were ever announced in previous years checklists, so I'm pretty certain this year is no different. just my two cents worth on it though.
With e-packs and physical distribution... does that mean the print run is abnormally huge for this year's stuff?
Also, does it minimize the odds of getting a YG exclusive/HG now as well?
Still confused about how the print run is affected by having both retail/hobby physical stuff and e-packs.
