OT: Hockey Cards and e-Pack

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

I'm a big fan of the draft day marks but based on their prices it seems smarter to straight up buy them

Oh for sure. I got my entire Heiskanen DDM collection via ebay (and one via a guy on Twitter) hunting. Cost me $450 overall (about $50 per letter).

Did the Synergy achievement for the black autos. Could've gotten a Dzingle but I'll take the JT

I'm retiring from Synergy now lmao

When you make all your money back with one card.

I mean its no JRob but that's decent too

In all seriousness, how many boxes did you open? I've opened like 3 or 4 and have only hit 1 Laf card in general let alone an auto. Haven't even hit an auto since I opened 1 single pack lmao

10ish? Money is fake

This is the first Laf I've hit on epack outside of a synergy insert. I didn't hit one yg from S1 lol

Ah I see. I've pulled 1 Laf synergy insert and 2 of his ygs in like 8 total boxes between synergy and UD series 1 so I probably shouldn't complain too much about my luck tbh lol could be so much worse, but still waiting for that big hit for myself to come not including regular ygs. Not sure I'm gonna open anymore synergy but I like the product so far, especially with everyone paying massive amounts for the inserts right now for that achievement.

Nice hit, but I still think the Synergy set is hideous.

Jesus christ

I wish I had more money to burn on this stuff

Yeah 100%. The best time to open product on ePack is always the first week for the rush on achievements. After the rush is over the market floods and turns against it quick so if you don't put in the time you'll be stuck with undesirable cards.

This Synergy black auto achievement has been sick. UD struck a good balance (rare for UD) between supply (725) and limiting the #s on the autos (they're all /25 or less)- I've been trading my Synergy scraps for decent young guns or inserts to do the achievement.

Lmfao- this isn't normal behaviour for me but the hot sports card market has put too much money in my PayPal account over the past 10 months.

 

[Kcb12345]

Probably should've decided this before I traded all my inserts away, but I'm gonna go for the synergy auto achievement too I think.

Several garbage players in it but I've never done an achievement and this one seems relatively doable and rewarding. Didn't go for it earlier cause I thought they would run out of autos super fast, that clearly isn't the case right now lol

There are a few busts in there- this is what I got on my 2nd try lmao

Yeah I'm sure I'll get someone bad, that's generally my luck when it comes to stuff like this lol

 

[Kcb12345]

Jeez actually looking through it you're way more likely to get someone garbage than decent. Even some of the veteran well known guys wouldn't go for much I bet

I wouldn't trade anything major to do the achievement- I've been moving scraps (e.g., the other serial numbered cards from Synergy that will sell for 5 cents each on COMC in a week).

I traded one JRob for 30 of em (a JRob that someone traded me earlier for like 8 of them lol) to get me closer to finishing tonight. Other than that it's been nothing but scraps so far

 

[Satan]

Ya that's a solid move

3rd try at the black auto achievement... lets f***ing gooooooooooo

Congrats. The edges looked scuffed af though, wtf Upper Deck.

 

[Kcb12345]

The grind to get these damn synergy inserts is real lol. Need 2 more

All this for probably a some garbage rookie card auto but oh well

I love how they put the garbage rookies /25. Like damn fr

 

[Starry Knight]

Finally traded my way to a Kivi rainbow YG

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

I'm glad Robertson is doing well, but it's making it damn hard to get the YGs to finish the 2 silver YGs I need.

Everytime I see someone with a Leafs logo asking for Oettinger or Robertson YGs triggers me.

Yeah I'm basically putting off collecting JRob ygs for a little while until the price hopefully dies down
