First, I will start by pledging my allegiance to Upper Deck. I am a huge fan of their products, and will most days bust an UD box over an ITG product.

That being said, I recently opened a box of Between The Pipes, and it was fun and full of hits. QUALITY HITS.

Footnote here: the 1/1 Masked Men error is just unacceptable. I work in Media Production for a living. There had to have been multiple proofs and people who looked at those before they were produced, and to cause such mass confusion in the market by marking them all 1/1 is just inexcusable. I give Dr. Price credit for trying to fix things quickly, but there needs to be a STRONG "Quality Check" review after this debacle.

Regardless, the BTP is the "Good" of this thread. Check out the scan below. Everything is FT/FS. Make some offers before it hits eBay.

Now, the "Ugly". Possibly one of the WORST boxes I've ever opened. 10-11 SPGU. I've had 2 decent boxes of SPGU this year, and this last one was just horrible. Some might say I beat the odds with 6 RCs, since they're only supposed to be 2 per box. But when a Sergei Bobrovsky RC worth $7 is your BEST card from a $150/box, $30/pack product, you have to review your decision to bust wax.

In the end, I guess it all evens out, but this one burned me really badly. Somebody take the contents of this box for $30 delivered please...

That between the pipes was a really nice box. Good mix of prospects and current stars and even a player of the past in Burke

The SPGU. Not so much.. wow thats ridiculous
 
Nice breaks. I do agree that the BTP break was better. So many white swatches in spgu, I hope you have better luck on your next break.
 
Nice BTP break, can't say the same for the SPGU. It seems like the RC "hot boxes" in SPGU are all pretty awful, I've yet to see something nice come out of one.
 
SPGU has to be the worst product out there. There is no in between. Either you get a crappy box or you hit a really nice box. Good to see BTPs was better to you.
 
Shoulda saved that SPGU money for the EXPO!!!!!

hahahahah, agreed, but I need a lot more $$ than that for the Expo...I'll go to the Fall one...dontcha worry...

Thanks for giving our product a try.

I have bought many an ITG product before (none of the super high end stuff though), and I've been usually pleasantly surprised by the amount and quality of the hits. I really wish you could get a license. Thanks for chiming in on my thread! And glad to see Lundqvist back in the mix!
