Plus... UFC cards have always been 80-99% crap and 1-5% awesome.
Time is the ultimate factor for value... but hype and chasing the prospect has tainted the present.

The big issue, which has been repeated ad nauseum here, is that there are no lotto ticket type cards in most MMA products. If you looks at releases like Bloodlines and Knockout, they could charge $200+ a box because you were getting 8-10 hits, with half being autos and in the case of Knockout, most being on-card.
Now we are paying 100% more than we did and getting 50% less. Panini's UFC cards were mostly poop, Topps so far seemingly had gotten worse in my eyes.
