OT: Hockey Cards and e-Pack

[Satan]

the white Black RPAs are so slick. I opened some packs and did horribly - salvaged it by trading for Sorokin and Stutzle rc jsy autos though

 

[Satan]

Saving my money for when Metal Universe comes to ePack. I can't wait to stash some PMGs.

What's the hype with PMGs? Seems everybody loves em lol

Ultra popular and kinda scarce insert from the 90s- not sure why PMGs in particular are getting pumped but I'm all for it.

My brother sold a PSA 9 Hulk Green PMG /10 from that 2017 Marvel Fleer Ultra product for $8,000 a couple weeks ago.

The hell is a PMG?

Jeez wtf

Checking on ebay, seems like even low end players PMG's sell for decent amounts compared to like every other card that player has lol

Yeah, it's silly. Mostly caused by speculators from other sports entering the hockey card market to buy a familiar insert set. I'm not a buyer at these prices but I'll certainly be trying to make trades for them.

 

[Satan]

Anyone buy Metal?

 

[Kcb12345]

Anyone buy Metal?

Nah I was planning on it a while back but lost interest as time went on...now seeing its $200 a box I'm gonna have to pass lol

Have you?

Might buy one pack just for fun lol

Edit: did it and got a Kaprizov net deposits. Not gonna get my money back but that's not horrible I guess

 

[Starry Knight]

I bought a box of the physical and got a redemption Kaprizov auto and a Svechnikov PMG. I think it's upper deck's strongest product released in a long time.

 

[Satan]

I didn't open physical because it's easier to trade/move stuff on ePack. Glad I waited because I pulled and sold the Crosby Gold Retro PMG 1/1 yesterday

Holyyy

How much did you get for it?

Mother of God I just saw what someone offered you on FB....congrats man that is huge. I can't even imagine your reaction to pulling that

Haha yeah..... I was pretty fired up

 

[Starry Knight]

My brother and I got each other a box of Skybox for Christmas. He got a Kaprizov red PMG while I got a $1 Alec Regula autograph and no PMG.

At least I got Stutzle and Kaprizov redemptions out of the box of artifacts that he also got me.

 

[Kcb12345]

Opened 2 boxes of Skybox.

Didn't get my money back but should get a small chunk at least.

Best hits were a Shea Theodore green PMG and a Sorokin rubies /50 thing. A few autos, nothing special there tho. Think the Sorokin might be worth more than the Theodore pmg lol

Edit: opened another box and hit a Kopitar green pmg. I mean I'm happy to hit them but would love to hit someone worth something lol

Yeah the Sorokin is nice find, should be the most valuable of the bunch there.

 

[Kcb12345]

I can't stop hitting /10 cards but they're like...not getting my money back type hits

On this one I should hopefully. Opened 5 more packs and hit a Vilardi green rookie auto /10. I'm like having insanely good luck with low numbered pulls but they aren't significant players

 

[Starry Knight]

Vilardi is a player that might be worth holding on to. He’s got loads of skill and a rookie auto to 10 might be worth a lot more in a few years than it is today.

Good to hear, I just got his red PMG in a trade lol

I started to collect Vilardi actually a while back but gave up on it

If any of you guys get printing plates of Crosby/McDavid/Matthews/Ovechkin let me know.

Max Pacioretty

better than Martin Kaut

better than Martin Kaut

Ah I suppose so. How many times did you do the achievement tho and who else did you get?

 

[Satan]

I did 4 of them, ended up with:

- Panarin base yellow
- Weber all-stars black
- Oettinger premium prospects yellow
- Norris retro yellow

Ended up moving all these to chase the McDavid/Matthews-Stutzle/Lafreniere achievements though
