Best part is Goodwin is cheap. $100 a hobby box to try to pull Caleb and Jordan and tiger on card autos. Can’t beat it. They grade decent too. Love future watch.

    Upper deck hockey is the only thing keeping the BGS 9.5 relevant. Fanatics buying upper deck would be the death of all Canadian hobby shops.

      You are right... It is in the best interest of the hobby to keep Fanatics out.
      All it takes is a quick search to see who Fanatics executives are.
      Between Rubin and the other C-level folks, do you see a commonality between their names?
      If you've gotten this far, do you STILL think Fanatics is in it "for the fan?"

    I remember when it first come out in 1989. They were the first to use the card stock they use, first to put inserts into their product and first to use autos and short prints. They have been clever since they started. Other than way overproduction of their cards in the 90's, which all of them are guilty of, they are a very innovative card company.

For the heck of it today I bought some 2022 Wild Card Matte football blasters from Walmart. Not sure why they’re pushing out the old cards. But these cards look really cool. Innovative designs and colors. I’m thinking about going back and getting more.

    Hey again, I think I’ve commented on 75% of your videos. I don’t watch hockey anymore but I still buy hockey cards now and again of ultra modern and upper deck for hockey when it came out in the we early 90’s was amazing compared to the usual topps which in Canada is crap until ultra modern and bowman which for hockey was bleh and I don’t know if they do hockey anymore but upper deck is by far the best for hockey out of alll the sports. They have amazing play pictures and the sp authentic, I don’t know why but the white card with the player pics in hockey especially is one of my favourite product designs. Spx and sp game used are great too but for spx you’re getting into the 4-500 dollar for a hobby box of usually 10-15 cards per box.depending on the year and sp game used is the $6-700+ hobby box of 4-6 cards per box depending on the year. I’m talking about hockey cards in general. But other sports I agree with you. They aren’t the cheapest cards and they are far from the most expensive but imo they are decent quality cards for the money and they usually hold their value. They are usually simple base cards with inserts and not the 10 versions of the same base card with different colors and colors schemes which can be quite overwhelming to know which colors of which brands are the most popular and valuable. With anything they have their faults but for many collectors on a budget or someone flipping who doesn’t have thousands of dollars to spend on raw cards, upper deck is a great choice in either case. Keep up with the awesome videos. You don’t have a patreon so I hope the couple cards I bought made you some money to show my appreciation for what you do.🍻

    • @Axle3369
      @Axle3369 2 місяці тому +1

      Oops I forgot what used to be the top card Brian’s for hockey before upper deck came out which was o-pee-chee (Canada’s version of toops but with about 40% more than topps.) I will also agree that if more people were open minded they would see what awesome points you made about upper deck. Topps and panini have dropped the ball with their unlicensed stuff. Especially with the Stroud and wemby signing rights but fanatics are letting the ball roll away. They want to 10x the collector base yet it feels like they don’t have the drive to succeed as long as they can hold back panini. Idk it’s f’d in my mind so we will keep watching upper deck succeed while fanatics and panini have their childish game on the sidelines.

    If only upper deck regain their MLB rights... UD quality was top notch, they did have cool designs, and their patch/auto were legit. If UD gains the MLB rights i'll drop cash for hobby boxes (i barely rip product and the only product I'll buy is topps heritage cause of their paper quality and throwback designs). Hell I've recently been looking for future HoF players (Verlander, Scherzer, Greinke, Longoria,etc) UD rookie cards.

    Agreed. Upper Deck is probably the best of the card companies. So glad they have the NHL. Probably not your thing but… Upper Deck has Marvel and should try to take Star Wars away from Topps.
    Topps has stopped giving sketch card artists blank artist proof cards for their sketch card artists. It’s how the artists make their money doing cards for sets, including MLB.
    Basically saying UD mostly does it right and treats their people like they matter. A little appreciation goes a long way.

    I believe UD already offered themselves up to Fanatics but Fanatics cares so little about hockey that they declined.
    That being said, I still believe UD is the best card company of all time in where it counts...making the best cards for the collectors that last in value. The Young Guns sub brand is the best out of any product, this company was the first to introduce memorabilia and the first put autos into product. This includes Be A Player in hockey back when you didn't get an auto in every palette of cases, they had a product that was one auto per pack.
    By pushing the edge, they also pulled the rest of the dinosaurs like Topps forward. Topps only made Stadium Club because Upper Deck regular cards blew Topps pulp gum cards out of the water. While other companies were doing different stampings, little bells and whistles, just parallels, UD always had superior designs, superior base cards and highly innovative inventions from increasing stock thickness, adding the aforementioned autos and game jerseys/bats, using metal and acetate... basically redesigning the entire hobby.
