Ouch!
Sorry for this rough break. I bought a total a 6 boxes I did not hit anything great, but I like the design (except for the Monochromatics).
At least, your Vladimir Tarasenko is a group B 1:275.
It seems that you paid a lot for your two boxes as it is 140$ CAD a box in Quebec City. At 140$, I thought it was too expensive.

I pretty much collect what I pull !

RE: Want To See Something Pathetic?
I feel your pain. I busted a ton of boxes in hopes that the next one would have "that card" I lost count of the boxes but it was from 14 to 16 boxes and hit three cards you would actually want. I dropped $1,666. on the product and will not be buying any more.
Only saving grace may be that in one of the boxes I hit a redemption card. The back of the card was normal but when we turned the card over in the pack to see who the player would be, it was blank. The owner of the local and I both contacted UD while I was at the store and they opened a case for me. UD said this was the first time they had ever had a redemption card come out of their products totally blank as to the player. Of course I am hoping it is McDavid,
Good luck on your next break.

Wow. I'm sorry you spent that much dough for that little return. I'm not certain you can get it back through sales very easily, at least not right now.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

I got a box for $94 and got garbage as well. It is sad.

I'll stick with the two packs I opened, especially after seeing this horror story, ugh. Sorry bro, that's a shameful break.

Thanks for all of the comments, folks. Our Canadian dollar being so low, and Upper Deck's head being so high (up an orifice) tells me that I will be slowing down the breaks. I thought that Trilogy was bad, but this just serves up the crap cake.

Just wait until you see the crap that comes out of Fleer Showcase.
Sorry for your poor break Randi, seems like it is more the norm with 15-16 products.

I have actually convinced myself that I will not be breaking any more of this garbage. If this trend continues, I may have to keep my money off of the shelves and put it into the display cases. Sheesh!
