Never seen that before m, I quickly bought 1 on eBay

I think Bedard is a WIP. It's just a shame he's on a poor Blackhawks team. But he's the best player in the 24 draft.

No autos in those boxes !!

Great video btw 👍

Awesome video Mike! Recently found this channel after some watches on your other channel. LOVE your outlook and POV on collecting/selling and your videos are some of my favorite to watch! Thanks to this video I was able to scoop up the Lundqvist/Giacomin/Vanbiesbrouck Twigs card, which is now my favorite addition to my Rangers PC! I've been in and out of selling and trying to flip, and after seeing your content it helped me focus more on the fun of collecting and I can't thank you enough!

Enjoyed the review, thanks for sharing!

Great review! 😃👍

When did card collecting get so complicated?!

Thanks for the review. I enjoy Trilogy, but Im a collector. Cheers!

Great video 😃👍

Another great video, Thanks 4 Sharing

Nice Break , new Sub and new to the hobby hobby

Base, base, McDavid:), base.. lol I have pulled a Kirill Kaprizov YG in one of these boxes.

Prices for boxes are insane and the resell value just isnt there.

I've been collecting for forty years. I buy sell trade on many sites and places. Ebay has the most eyes but is actually the worst for sellers getting ripped off. On Ebay if a person says they didn't get the card they are refunded. When ever I decide to sell some on Ebay, I always quit when a few go missing. I've never had a card go missing off of Ebay. It's around 5% that goes missing on Ebay. Facebook groups are better then Insta.

Congrats on 2 years. I just saw your 1 year video today too. I got lucky at the LCS, bought 10 of the 18 OPC packs from a fresh box at only 4.5 a pack (I even told the LCS that he was giving it away at that price, but he was happy to.. which was awesome). Split the 10 packs up with my son and he pulled a Bedard premier. All in all it would have been like 1/33 boxes to pull the card, and we got lucky with a few loose packs. I think I'll continue to give reasonably priced loose packs out of fresh LCS hobby boxes a shot going forward, while staying away from ebay loose packs.

Not a fan of the mvp cards at all. They always look so nausia inducing

Very relevant list. I was hoping the list just went on and on because i enjoyed listening haha

Watching it a year later ! Nice video keep it up

Do you buy into breaks or just buy boxes?

I have a decent card collection started about 25 years ago . I got all hologram and special cards in soft sleeve and hard sleeves in box’s . Over 40 Gretzky hologram cards in sleeves .. I’m wondering if they are worth anything ?!?

It will be a good year to buy !! Sell not so much .

Awesome video!

Oh the memories

Where do you think Connor Bedard's YG will be in 5 years? Will Series 2 sealed product be a good investment?

Great video! I personally love artifacts, maybe not everyone’s favorite but it became mine when I started collecting 2 years ago because it was 150$ per hobby and you could hit an auto which I never had of a player before…I recently got a box of this years artifacts and was lucky enough to hit an emerald Roman I. Biggest and best pull I’ve got so far, always looking for a Gretzky mcdavid or matthews auto. It’s an expensive hobby I gotta say but always fun to rip boxes

Upper Deck will be cashing in on high price points and fewer cards per box. Thinking of leaving the “ hobby”.

The box says hockey but the colors say candy

Great video! 😊👍

I dont know for me i just like opening packs . Just brings back memories of my dad and grandpa letting me get a few packs and how happy i was

Sick Sakic

Needed this today 👍🏼. Thank you

I heard that soin after release of series 2 UD the price is to jump to around $700 a box. .... but who knows just going to have to wait and see. I just wish i got in at my local card shop for $150 a box presale. Lol could of made a killing.if i got 2 cases.

Just found your Channel. Good stuff man. I'm new to collecting hockey and other sports. Love all the info you put out. Keep up the good work bud.

I hope Upper Deck does better with quality control at that price point for Series 2. And yes it’s sad that profits were put over hobby growth with the increased price. At that price point a lot of kids will be priced out of enjoying the rip. Great video! Thank you!

If you can find many Upper Deck EXQUISITE CONNOR MCDAVID RC, I buy them all before the sports cards market wake-up too much and make them all unaffordable.

Heyo, just got my first pack ever (22-23 artifact box). Are there chances of autos in every set, or is it only on sets/boxes that specifically say “look for signed cards!” Thanks!

My friend is actually a photographer for Upper Deck and took the Pettersson cover photo for 23-24 credentials. Think that deserves a couple comp’d boxes, or an employee discount? They didn’t even tell him, let alone credit him. Never do, despite having tons of his pictures being used as cards. It’s super cool, but just seems crazy to me he doesn’t even get told how his pictures are used. Anyway, hoping 23-24 credentials is worth a shot but not off to a good start in my eyes lmao

Very helpful video - I actually just uploaded my first video today. Will be keeping all this in mind while Bedard-hunting, ty 🫡

good video the crosby is not a clear cut it is just a base card but kinda cool. the cost for you per card unless you bought the single doesnt make much sense if you are just dividing the number of cards in a box by the amount you paid because not all cards are created equal the base cards you are really not gong to get any return out of. best of luck on your prospecting tho would be careful on some of the players with no graded cards already and not many sales one way to look at it is filling the demand another way is that there simply is no demand or collectors of that specific player. another thing would be your predictions on returns are razor thin considering you will need to pay the 13% ebay fee plus shipping cost on your eventual sale so should take that into account unless you already are. I think as long as you are not truly doing this to resale for more profit and wouldnt mind holding onto those cards as collectibles then looks great but i do think if you are just grading to make profit you will probably do about break even when you sell this lot over time because of the less of a premium sgc cards have for sales then psa and other fee's like your shipping fee to sgc or the shipping fee from them back to you as im pretty sure you have to pay for both ways when grading. look forward to following your channel in the future found you from your other channel look like you are making great content and as a new ebay seller myself think it will be nice to follow your journey and maybe bounce some things off you or just talk shop about hockey, cards and ebay some time. hope this comment doesnt come off as negitive in any way i might be out of line dont have much experience with grading myself but just wanted to mention a few things that were going through my mind when watching the video have a good one!

I’ve been collecting hockey cards for over a year now, so I’m still learning but thank God I found your channel. It’s been helpful way be on its means so I wanna thank you for everything you do.

I personally LOVE lose packs. Not eBay lose packs, but packs from an opened box at my local card shop. Whenever I buy a hobby box, I always buy one lose pack of the same product. On christmas eve I hit big doing this! Bought a box of 23-24 artifacts, and one pack of the same. Box had some OK hits in it, but the lose pack had the regular Chicago Blackhawks redemption! Was super stoked! So was everyone in the shop, because I always open my lose pack in the store haha. Anyway, great video bud, I been back into the hobby for 2 years now myself, and everything you said rings true.

I have some of those aforementioned 21-22 CHL loose packs at a much more reasonable price if you're interested . DA overcharges for those by a mile.

All sports need more just 1 card company but thats a tough sell when people think theres already too many sets in that sport.

I made a huge tiny mistake buying the UDMVP not realizing that I was buying stuff that was put together before Kane was playing in NY. I feel shame.

Wayne Gretzky's rookie card . . . How is it that he gets a rookie card despite never having a rookie season?

People who want base cards are just gonna buy packs, they're not gonna by them off ebay for $1 a piece.

This season of hockey cards will be ruined by greed IMO

Thanks, Puck Mike. Good info, makes sense.
