I'm confused - thread title is that a sale is live, but there isn't and you're curious why not a week [I]before[/I] Black Friday? Typically Black Friday sales are on Black Friday, it kind of makes more sense that nothing is on sale now.

This is the most clickbait title ever lmao

Yup :)! that's the title of the thread.

When a sale is live, this will be a good spot for talking about it in general.

When no sale is live, this will be a good spot for questioning the inner workings of UD.

Pretty simple.

Losing license, sale season, over-priced to begin with, just to name a few.

[QUOTE=ThatGuyPal;19711347]This is the most clickbait title ever lmao[/QUOTE]

Also true.

Btw, do you buy/trade on epack?

I admit I went over to ePack to check when I saw thread title :)

You should work for CNN

With Mickey and Lion King leaving suddenly last week without a major sale, I doubt we get huge fire sales on the Marvel stuff other than maybe something like Defenders

only if they gave me the max headroom treatment

Mostly hockey but I did open some Marvel Platinum packs and will open some Marvel if "A Marvel Sale Is Live"ever becomes true.

I think I'll start a thread titled "Malschick Wins Presidential Election"

It hasn't actually happened yet, but one day maybe it will

:rolleyes:

Yep. If Disney cards can just disappear, we might not get any big clearances on Marvel. It might get completely wiped off the website without warning.

Epack has been having constant Marvel sales for a couple months now. I'm sure their Black Friday sales will be the 25-50% of the usual suspects. I might bite during their 75-90% losing the Marvel license sale at the end of the year.

UD should start heavily discounting individual Marvel sets at random without any notice.

Exactly, that's why it's strange there's no sale happening today (yet?).

Moving the product at just 25% less will boost sales and still net UD more than what any 3rdP will give at the end of the day.

Who really knows what will happen next week... or in five weeks.

Feels a lot like Y2K minus heaven's gate :rolleyes:

Yeah, I dunno... these marvel cards are whole different animal. Plus, I'll feel super-cheated deep down inside for no reason if that happens.

They did have a sale earlier this week, I snagged some Fleer Ultra Wolverine at 25% off. Don't think it was announced in their news section.

Today's the Max Headroom incident anniversary! Prescient timing.

It's weird the Disney sets would disappear. Those are all stored at COMC and not packed out, so what would be the point of having COMC ship those back to Upper Deck? They don't really have enough value to try to sell to a wholesaler/repacker. I'd think they'd make more selling the packs at 90% off.

Unless Disney won't let them do deep discounts because it hurts the brand or something. Usually no discount rules only apply for the first few months a product comes out though.

Or perhaps the Disney license had a different end date than Marvel? They acquired the Disney license years after they got the Marvel license.

They just released Premiere and they want that pack at the top of the page for a few days. Sale packs push all the new releases further down the page. It make sense that UD want the new high end product featured with no discounted products to bury it. I suspect a sale will drop today (maybe) for the weekend. I’ll be shocked it they don’t drop a sale on Monday (and more as we his Black Friday week…).

Update: Still no sale as of 2024/11/23

Two new CFL GDM Cards released yesterday though.

There was speculation in another topic that maybe UD sold the Mickey Mouse and Lion King cards to a third party and had COMC transfer the cards to the third party’s COMC account. No cards were physically moved.

It’s a possibility but unless more information comes to light, it’s just speculation.
