Upper Deck 2011 Thor Retail Sketch Question

eldavojohn · 04-24-2013, 01:36 PM

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences breaking this product. I'm curious if the retail version of that (5 cards per pack, 16 packs per gravity fed box, 20 boxes per case) has sketch cards at all? I looked on NSLists but they gave a different ratio of sketches in packs (1:40 where as BO says 1:48) and they did not differentiate between retail and hobby so am I to assume that retail offers the same rate of sketch cards as hobby? What about printing plates? Or does it mean they were not in retail packs?

The sell sheet shows the retail box on the last page but does not declare the ratios.

Note: Just to preemptively acknowledge that I know this is a product that leaves much to be desired and I should stay away from it. Your concern for my well being is much appreciated but I have done the research and am still interested in sketches from a collecting standpoint.
