I actually was always curious if you guys took some kind of journalism courses bc the show runs so well. 2 reasons i noticed this. 1. I watch a lot of UA-cam shows on sports. 2. Me and a few friends almost started a fantasy football podcast. Appreciate all the work you put in
I don’t hang out often in the discord chat but just wanted to say it’s been great with Phil and Lew. I love to see this podcast grow. Cheers! OG Peledog/David Stone
Btw I'm like less than a dozen away from collecting the whole set now. Can't wait to get the Jagr and others on 23! This is the first year they are announced and there will be another 10 'normal' pro visions and just 4 retros. Lucky Luc! Neely, Lindros and Jaaaaagz! So pumped! Wont buy a box but will definitely be a ebay fiend 😆 I'm also patient though, just passed up the Shane Wright last night bc I felt the price was too high
Have you done a show on EPack? If so, what was the episode? If not, I would be interested in a future segment on EPack. My gut outlook is similar to Phil's but at the same time I think it's an easy way for UD to avoid the CT scan issue.
We did a Hockey Cards 101 Episode with Upper Deck where the goal was to give an overview of the platform - ua-cam.com/video/0gt3a7AzB48/v-deo.htmlsi=9FjllhYbAwMySKte
I’m surprised a company like fanatics didn’t try to sign away Bedard from Upper Deck or try to buy the company either that right there would be bad for the hobby.
Ehhhhhhh, ripped a box of allure this weekend out on the deck. . Aug 11, entire box was black rainbow rookies. . . 33 br rookies including your boy brock and bedsy
you talked about consolidating ..monopolies.. thats what is wrong with usa ... anti trust laws .. but you have one corporation that owns all pork products ..one compan... so they can set market prices. america has been consolidated into a few hands. capatilism is slave and child labor .. the right wing just passed a new child labor law allowing younger people to work. the right wing cap pigs would have slave and child labor if they could.
Fanatics will be changing the game when it comes to group breaks..no repacks without a listing, no gambling or computerized randomizer. ANY shady stuff and your banned. If they do nothing else when they take over ALL sports cards in a few years, that's the key change
I get really twisted on the word gambling with cards. Now , I know it’s the same thing “technically “ but hear me out. I say it’s a gamble on what you’re gonna get when you buy a box of cards for yourself but feel it’s more gambling when you pay someone to potentially hit something in a break. Does that make any sense?
Ive changed my ways. Instead of spending $300 on a box here in Canada, I now use that $300 to buy individual RC cards without the risk.
This has been my approach for a while now and I’ve been completely satisfied.
Glad you found a better path for you! There's many ways to enjoy the hobby.
I’m with you. The value is just not there in ripping boxes.
Absolute Great Show!!!
Best Regards from Germany!!!
Thank you very much!
Danke!!!!!
We as a hobby need to demand PSA to issue grading reports with each card at no extra cost.
It would be great if they started doing that...for sure.
Great episode gentlemen!!!!!!
Thank you!

Appreciate that very much!

Troy with a metal detector - that cracked me up!
Thank you! Come...hang out more often!
2:31:30 regarding credentials, don't forget Troy's favorite set; Pro Visions

Yes, UD seems to be moving away from the whole "Easter Egg" thing.

@@hockeycardsgongshow Great overview. Sounds like you pay more for ePack, have to pay to get the physical cards and can't even get base cards.
exactly people paying 500 dollars for a bedard , i remember saving my eric lindros and retiring .. i can get one now for 1 dollar
I’m surprised a company like fanatics didn’t try to sign away Bedard from Upper Deck or try to buy the company either that right there would be bad for the hobby.
I think UD had him locked up a few years ago....smart by them.
So is Bobby Orr attending a Leafs/Habs game on his rookie card? 😅
Ehhhhhhh, ripped a box of allure this weekend out on the deck. . Aug 11, entire box was black rainbow rookies. . . 33 br rookies including your boy brock and bedsy
wow...that is a crazy box!
you talked about consolidating ..monopolies.. thats what is wrong with usa ... anti trust laws .. but you have one corporation that owns all pork products ..one compan... so they can set market prices. america has been consolidated into a few hands. capatilism is slave and child labor .. the right wing just passed a new child labor law allowing younger people to work. the right wing cap pigs would have slave and child labor if they could.
As I'm watching this, my ebay purchase cannot be tracked after a week...also with SPX having the hit on top...Scanner Alert!!
you can probably request a refund!
@@hockeycardsgongshowyeah, I'm in the process of that right now...what a pain!
I think with CT scans the hit doesn’t have to be on top, you can go through the full stack of cards.
Is there going to be sound anytime soon? Lol
Sound works for us.....try refreshing? This one's been a nightmare to get uploaded lol.
@@hockeycardsgongshow it's fine now, 5th time is a charm lol
🙈
its not a hobby its casino gambling , dont know how its not regulated by congress .. gambling is a dangerous vice

Does that make any sense?
lost 7k and got nothing to show for it .. should of invested in silver and gold .. thats what wrong with the "hobby"
You should look at 2017 upper deck Grandeur. Big premium above spot but still cool to have your favourite player on a silver coin
@@ericbarbosatravels1391 oh wow where?
@@ericbarbosatravels1391 quick google shows 1k .. i would of done this with that 7k i lost for sure
