Trilogy against SP Game used

[thegamebrain]

For about 200 CAD a box, here's the lowdown on the differences between Trilogy and SP Game used:

SPGU

6 jerseys
1 Autograph per box
1 Memorabilia card #'d to 100 or less per box

Trilogy

3 Rookie Cards per box
3 Autograph per box
3 Game-Used Memorabilia Cards per box

6 packs versus 9. I know, I know, quality vs quantity. It just seems that Trilogy really is the better value. Or maybe it's that the newer product is busted like mad and that influences what we buy.

Thoughts?

Trilogy is ncie but I gotta go with SPGU for the chance of the massive hit.

Plus it looks like UD really added a bit more value to it this year. I have yet to see a REALLY horrible break, and case breaks seems to be yielding at least one excellent hit.

My problem is I only see the box breaks that are posted. Like most things, it's either the Crosby lettermarks, Howe Autos, Gretzky anything, Malkin RCs, double patches, etc that get posted. Maybe I'm abnormal (well, I know that for sure ) but I'll usually only post when I have a great box, or a REALLY bad one and I need to vent.

I'm sure there are countless of mediocre breaks that never make it to the boards for all of us to see. With all that said, maybe it's just the massive hit appeal. And I do really love the lettermarks.

spgu is more bang for the buck I belive there are 2 hot boxes per case

Anyone know the odds per case on the hot boxes?

 

[thegamebrain]

No official word from UD I'm assuming...

Chris, how many of each did you get from your case?

 

[The Architect]

4 hot boxes per 12 box case

2 with rookies inecery pack
2 with autos or memorabilia cards <100 per pack

1 out of 4 odds of getting a Hot Box. Hmmmm, almost makes me want to part ways with 200 bucks.
