Upper Deck 2019-2020 Series Two
 

I have only been collecting for about a year now and had a question about this new release. Online I see the release date for this series is 2/19. Do Wal Mart or Target typically have these in store on the release date? Thanks!

usually they don't. Also, you get less Young Guns in retail this year. Only one per blaster and two per tin. Used to be 2 and 3.

The retail product tends to be available after the hobby boxes hit hobby stores to give the initial wave of sales going towards to hobby stores right away.

So wait a few weeks and we should start to see the S2 retail offerings eventually on the shelves soon enough.

Wow, that stinks....why would they make retail worse than it already is

To create artificial scarcity while the herd buys it up in volume anyway.
Retail Box is really the only way to go now it seems for just the YG collectors. 6 Blasters, 3 Tins or one Retail Box equals 6 YGs.
Or buy Hobby for the Exclusives, HGs, Fanimations and other bigger hits along with the YGs.

Wow, didnt know they shorted the retail YGs. Thats horrible

6 packs per blaster, so in average, there are 1.5 YGs per blasters. I got 7 YGs and 1 YG Canvas out of 5 UD1 19-20 blasters.

Now that they have trimmed down the Retail (2) YG's as opposed to (3), I feel it's the opposite now and Hobby is the way to go.

You stand a better chance of getting a Makar or Kakko going the Hobby route as well as getting additional inserts (hobby only), and as a set builder at the very least you get a good jump at completing the base set.

Last year buying tins at around $30.00 and getting (3) YG's was the absolute way to go, paying the same price for (2) YG's this year has changed my thought process.

And quite frankly I might just go the route of buying my YG's via Ebay, the marquee guys will be $30-$40 by this summer, with 2/3 of these YG's selling for $2-$5 bucks.

There are 6 YGs per retail/hobby box so same odds. 24 packs each box. So strictly YG collectors get better value per Retail box at about 70% price of Hobby box.

But you are correct- it's usually always cheaper to just buy the cards you want vs cracking wax.

Got it, I was unaware of the Retail boxes (same odds etc.) as I've just seen the Tins and Hobby boxes at my LCS, it's a shame that they took (1) YG from the Tins as last year that was the way to go IMO.

And you know it's far more fun to crack wax then purchasing off of Ebay. ;)

Uh, that's not correct about the retail odds.

Didnt see any blasters for these at target yet, prob a good thing I always get f** all from those lame fat packs. Its like $5 for base and a cheap insert if you're lucky, best off going to a local card shop (with a owner you like, and is not a fruitcake) and getting a few hobby packs. You actually might get something good

Uh, yes it is. :)
At least up here in Canada. Retail boxes are 24 packs with 1/4 YGs same as Hobby. Just no #'d stuff. Cases of this stuff at my LCS.
I'm not talking blasters, hangers, Walmart, Target, tins, dollar store, blister packs or any of that other low-odds garbage being peddled

Bought 5 hobby packs @ $4 each, so equal to a blaster. Pulled two YGs, two OPC RCs and a Flouresence Kuhlman #/150. I think I’ll be buying hobby packs.

There are 30th anniversary 1/1 auto buybacks.

There are 3 types of retail product. Retail Box/36 pack/6 YG, tin/10 packs/2 ish YG, and blaster/7 packs/1 ish YG

Most tins will have only 2, but a few will have a third YG
Most blasters will have only 1, but a few will have 2 YGs

Ha wrong thread

Seems like its easier to hit numbered stuff in Series 2, did they print less??

[QUOTE=mwash1983;15569414]Seems like its easier to hit numbered stuff in Series 2, did they print less??[/QUOTE]

30% less produced than Series 1 according to my calculations.

Welcome to the Board! :)

So maybe like 2014 S2- might be a good idea to stock a few boxes.

Wow, and the better rookies are in Series 2 this year.

Come on K13, that sounds like a positive comment from you...

Im going with, 30% more for Epack so it looks like an amazing buy

Series 2 seems like a pretty fun rip this year.

And if anyone pulls any of the 4 Jhonas Enroth 30th Anniversary BuyBack 1/1's, please let me know :)
