You really got to look at the odds on the box now. Some blasters are only pulling one YG.Tins used to be 3 guaranteed with a YG canvas sometimes. Now its 2 minimum no guarantee of 3. I bought a 07-08 Series 1 blaster last year before the craziness and pulled 1 YG...of Milan Lucic...and it was wrecked.
The Cup is where the big boys play. You gotta buy it by the case tho.Card collecting in general is just not worth it, If you buy boxes instead of singles.
Hobby Boxes are skyrocketing in price, I would say after Launce, every box is basically going up 30/40% in price.
This hobby in general is becoming way too expensive, and cards are not matching the price.
Upper Deck S1 / S2 and Authentic are literally the only boxes I would ever consider buying, Just because of Pure Rookie cards in Young guns and Future watches, It guarantees easy sell as well.
Yeah same, but i personally collect only Martin St. Louis cards, been on break for years now tho lolI'll take a MSL numbered to 5 over this year's crop of YG's if that makes you feel better.
But honestly, YG's are getting more tougher to pull. Retail wise at least. Blasters would net three now it's two. That's a huge reason why this year's YG's are blowing up.
Well, as someone who has been in this hobby for decades, I can only say this;The hobby will reach it's peak and fall. No way this can continue. I already sold off my small collection.
Well, as someone who has been in this hobby for decades, I can only say this;
Prices on stars will stay where they are, while speculating on young rookies will drop unless it's an impact rookie.
Young guns are white hot because of how easily they are to get. Once the wave moves towards the top end, the prices will drop on mid key rookies.
SP Authentic will be the next brand to skyrocket, while the people with deep pockets will chase Cup rookies. That's when I will sell off.
I own four McDavid Cup rookies and when all is said and done I'll be a millionaire after I sell them.
And to the person who said I was nuts when I paid 8k for a McDavid Cup? How do I look now?
Talk to them via Twitter. I've never had an issue with UD and they follow me.
I pulled a McDavid Auto redemption from 15 Champs and got it in a couple weeks along with a couple random packs.
Now Topps on the other hand, I pulled the infamous Axl Rose autograph redemption and had a buyer lined up for 2k for a card that I think only five were made. They offered to give me a Lita Ford autographed as a replacement. I said no, so they offered me Kip Winger, I said I'd rather have Lita Ford.
Then six months later, I got Kip Winger.
Yeah same, but i personally collect only Martin St. Louis cards, been on break for years now tho lol
But yeah about the YG’s, i kinda meant in general, not just this year, i’ve been following the values somewhat tightly and just been kinda laughing at the prices they’ve been sold at compared to the amount there are available, like not just the best prospects but YG’s in general.
Edit: Also you guys got any sites where you post your collections or breaks? Would love to check out what all you got.

I sell everything but Cup. RPAs I'll hold onto until the very last second.I think the reality will be somewhere in between. We've had an adjustment, and the value of some cards will decrease over time, but not as low as it was. Also, certain hyped rookies, definitely won't hold value. There's no reason a Makar or Drasaitl card should be outselling an equivalent Malkin or P. Kane card.
Krisbryantisbest, regardless of what happens, you made an amazing move picking up McDavid Cup rookies early. If it was me I'd sell now, be happy with the 10x+ profit, and reinvest in something else. I tend to play these things safer than most though.
See?I did just that and they responded within 5 minutes and also followed me haha. Thanks I got my case#.
I'm gonna make a break video of my Cup cases and post it here.Yeah same, but i personally collect only Martin St. Louis cards, been on break for years now tho lol

Good luck on the breaks. If you're selling, interested in possibly Markstrom and Peeke cards.I'm gonna make a break video of my Cup cases and post it here.
If I get a Dach I will give away one of the crappy RPA's I get
Of course they're worth something, it just depends on what you have.I have A LOT of cards from the mid 2000s to early 2010s.
I used to prioritize jersey cards / patches. Have over 100 of those.
Are cards during that era worth much right now? Kept every single card I’ve ever opened (unlike my Pokémon cards that were tossed when I moved houses...)
Peekes are selling at 15/30. If I pull one it's yours.Good luck on the breaks. If you're selling, interested in possibly Markstrom and Peeke cards.
List me who your looking forAnyone have any good leads for 03-04 Parkhurst Original 6? Apart from eBay, COMC etc.? It's (Toronto) the only full set I have worked on in the last 20 years. I have 7 cards left to complete it, all numbered to 20. Very rarely show up on the market. I figure if I ever complete it I have one of the only sets in existence. At most there's 20.
Will be back home tonight and pull out my list.List me who your looking for
