I'm dreading what I'm going to have to pay for an Eichel YG. I guess it's almost a blessing his SPA Future Watch rookie wont be autographed lol

It'll do well, but it won't be eye popping like McDavid's. Probably a little more expensive than Larkins but not obscenely?

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

Well, if the card is 1:2,045 cases and they make 500,000 cases of physical product and another 5,000,000 cases of digital product, then the Gilmour might actually be limited to around 2,700 copies, so it shouldn't be too hard to obtain.

You know I was going to get a case at the presell and missed the cut off.
I then planned on buying a case at the expo to crack for fun. However with the whole ePack business, I have decided to hold off cracking any of this. I will put my money on another product instead. Maybe do a SPGU case or something like that as I am not 100% sold on the print runs and allocations and epack segmentation of the UDS1 and UDS2 product right now.

I will stay on the side lines and watch how this plays out. This should be interesting to watch and see how it all falls out.

Any dealers going to Hawaii for the UD conference? I am interested in hearing how they answer the questions regarding the digital execution.

Totally agree with what you are saying. Way too many "great" cards coming from the series one epacks that we certainly DID NOT see in the 12 cases that were opened at our two locals.

I am thinking for the first time, to just buy the series two set and be done with it.

This used to be fun but it is getting to the point where I have had just about enough and I have been doing this for 56 years.

Thanks for your thoughts.

It's the same as me opening up a couple boxes of cards at the LCS here in Kelowna and posting a hit or two that you didn't get in your cases. I saw some "great" cards getting pulled on the big release night and many others in the weeks since, but there's also a lot of other "great" cards that didn't get pulled in Kelowna, BC, and many more than 12 cases have been ripped through here.

That's not at all diminishing the value of your purchase and investment into it--as an individual you've got a lot more skin in the game than many people. But the odds of getting any "great" cards depend on so many factors whether you're at the (E-)pack, box, or case breaking level, from which cases at the UD factory get shipped to which distributors, to the respective distributors sending their product to which store, to the B&M store picking which cases get opened up to go on the shelf and which go to which customer. With all that...

The odds of hitting anyspecific card in a break are so small. To this day, I am blown away that a particular card in my PC was opened right here in Kelowna by someone I know who was good enough to get it into my hands for a modest sum of dollars. Factor that the card is a 1/1 - it's mind-blowing, really.

I've said this so many times already: The odds of getting any non-1/1 card are not affected by the physical hobby and e-Pack allocations. Obviously if Mike Condon HG 2/10 is set aside for ePack, you're not going to pull that specific HG in any physical break.

But let's turn it on its head...if you're opening e-Packs by the case hoping to hit Artemi Panarin 72/100, and it was allocated in the physical release, you will never hit that specific YG Exclusives no matter how many e-Packs you open. You might hit another Panarin YG Exclusives, but it won't be that particular serial numbered card.

All this said, e-Pack's definitely changing the way people look at S1/2 and their buying habits for it. The physical breakers still get first dibs on the market and hopefully those selling will still get the best prices out of the blocks. The e-Pack folks will get their follow-up and hopefully it won't crater the values of inserts and common YG's in the product as we saw with S1.

Hope that you continue doing what you do - it's always very enjoyable scrolling through your break threads and seeing the great cards.
