But it is pretty nasty, all 4 colors of the Certified autos, all different kinds (including 1/1 rookie) from The Cup. Ask him to sell it off eBay for 90% of the stated cost. You'll pay less, but they'll get more in the long run by not having to pay fees.

darkwolf220 posted:Remember Pinnacle last year? $100/box Pinnacle.... This is almost as bad at the cost. Pinnacle last year actually was popular, once the price went down. Patches and stuff move things along (and having Datsyuk on the packs helped some). Elite looked like it could be a dud, and those suspicions were right. Also, congratulations to Panini and Upper Deck for delaying all their hockey products back so far that Detroit, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and all the Canadian teams were already done for the year. Way to drive those sales, you guys.

I'm looking for $15 on the OEK and $20 on the Burmistrov, plus $2 for shipping.

I really like Contenders. The first case that was opened had TWO booklets and eight patches. Love the hard-signed autographs, and the only problem is a lack of cool inserts.

I have no interest in keeping the card but want to know if I should redeem it then sell it. Which sells for more, the redemption cards or the real cards? I imagine its the same for hockey as it is for baseball. Thanks Just redeem it and get the cash now.

Wayne Gretzky posted:I'm not sure I follow. The redemption cards are selling now for $60 but I know people dont like redemption cards so I'm wondering if its wiser to redeem the card and then sell the actual extant autographed card later People don't like pulling redemption cards, but right now, you have a card that is a $60 item. By the time that the card is live, it might go down in value, Kemp might get injured, there might be a lot of Kemp cards, et cetera. If you don't want the card and it's not something that will be super shortprinted, it's better to sell now.

This is completely random, but I owed Darkwolf some cards and I found/mailed that package today. Forgot about it until I found the package behind my desk. Also, I bought my first pack of cards since the lockout began and pulled a UD Canvas card of Crosby. A potentially good sign for negotiations.

DarkWolf summed up most of it, but looking at the whole industry, there is one major difference between Panini and Upper Deck: company issues. Upper Deck was the industry leader for the longest time, as they were the first to do jersey cards and other technologies, they had all four pro sports licenses, they had Jordan and Gretzky as endorsers, et cetera. But they got sloppy or greedy on certain things, resulting in lost profits due to court battles and lost licenses due to bad relationships with leagues. Now, UD produces NHL hockey cards, NCAA football and basketball cards, and some other minor things. The constant rumor is that Upper Deck is going under. Every couple months or so, someone mentions that UD is doing poorly and is having this, that, or whatever problems. With the NHL lockout, Upper Deck could really be hurting due to poor/non-existent hockey card sales. ---- That being said, I was grocery shopping and saw a three-pack of UD Black Diamond packs for $10 by the register. Grabbed one, just hoping for any kind of Red Wing. First pack - double diamond card of Gilbert Perreault. Nothing too special, but I like the Sabres, so good hit. No Red Wings. Second pack - Rookie Gems quad diamond of Jaden Schwartz. One of the best top-tier rookies in the product, and essentially a 1:24 hit. (Quads are 1:12, split between the All-Star veterans and the rookies. So a quad rookie is 1:24.) With three packs per blister pack...that's probably the best card that I could have pulled out of any of those packs there. No Red Wings, though. Third pack - Completely satisfied with the three packs before even opening the last one, with the Schwartz. The middle card is different, a clear insert. Not my pic, but...  A Red Wing. Championship Rings insert card of Luc Robitaille, a case hit in either the hobby or retail versions. And of the guys that could have been pulled, I pulled a Red Wing. Very happy with those packs, and now I'm done with Black Diamond for the year.

Cizikas is supposed to be a pretty good prospect, so solid enough pull too. In recent seasons, Black Diamond has had legends and superstars in the base set in team uniforms, and the quad veterans as All-Star Game photos. Two Orrs in the set.
