Spot on, boxes were $299.99. I think cases were $1749.99, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Good luck folks, too rich for me, but some awesome art in this product

Morgoth · 03-03-2020, 02:28 PM

Interested to see how long it is on E-pack before sell out.

If Ian's and Ballards are pulled left and right it could be quick. If it is much like the physical product it could be there forever.

WhacksPacks · 03-04-2020, 12:05 PM

$300 a pack..yeah that's gonna be a no for me dog

notoriousrmb · 03-04-2020, 12:14 PM

I just think of all the nice sketches I can buy for $300.

And all the questionable ones I can pull from a pack for $300.

R2mi · 03-04-2020, 12:33 PM

Took me 3 boxes, still too expensive for what I got, but ... pretty pleased though

Good way of thinking about it. There could be some hidden, but of the 100 sketches on ePack so far there are none I'd put a $300 eBay bid on.

Was just coming to say that.. Woof. People are already busting a ton but not a single one I've seen makes me go "WOW, worth it!"

Was considering a box but yea, hard pass based on what I've seen. You have to be extremely lucky for something great

Fspook00 · 03-04-2020, 02:48 PM

same. awesome sketch though R2mi

jasonplo · 03-04-2020, 04:02 PM

Yeah, most likely not gonna recoup on the 300 on average but I always like to use some mental gymnastics to justify it myself. Ive dropped 300 on 3 boxes of FFH on there and not hit an auto or sketch so compared to that, its pretty good. Hard to spend 300 on Epack and get 2 sketches from any other product.

Congrats!

matpat21 · 03-04-2020, 06:03 PM

Held strong and passed on it last year...this year I allowed myself 1 and hit a solid Bianchi Hulk sketch plus I’m pretty pleased with my multi panel sketch. Definitely pleased with my decision

mf1971999 · 03-04-2020, 07:37 PM

From someone who took a swing exclusively for the sketches ... ouch. 9 boxes, overall lower end quality. I should have bought two and run for the hills. Some will get lucky and show off their big hits, but I would say 2 were decent and 7 were terrible (in terms of the $300 price point) in my view.

For me, a sketch collector, to say this was the highlight of my breaks should say everything. Available for trade for mutant-focused sketches.

Rootleaf · 03-04-2020, 08:20 PM

I was incredibly fortunate with my one box and stopped. But it's a rough break at $300 unless you get very lucky.

Which brings me to wonder if it will actually sell out quickly like 2017. My case production estimate was around 840. I have a feeling more went to epack than physical, but let's assume it was 50:50. That means there are 420 cases, 2520 boxes. It looks like just 200 boxes have been opened so far, but likely there's a good bit of stuff locked so that's probably higher. So about 10% sold on day one. Lots of people are saying they're done so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Tried my luck on epack for the 2017 and got an utterly stunning Quad and a black foil of Black Widow. Definitely not pressing my luck this year. Good luck with the $299.99 slot machine pull everyone!

Trash2Treasures · 03-05-2020, 09:45 PM

Only thing that stops me is ive been selling alot of my upper stuff right from UD and the same common theme is happening customers are mad bc cards are chipping or have soft corners which from “brand new” is unacceptable

Wolf8MeVillie · 04-24-2020, 09:15 PM

I was looking to buy a box on ePacks, but wow, what happened to this product. I mean at $300 a box, there isn't a lot that sells for any where near that. So if you don't pull something you plan on keeping, this is a huge gamble. I'll pass for now!

So..........like every other nonsports release??

ddilts399 · 04-25-2020, 07:37 PM

Should be 150.00 a pack. 90% of the boxes you still wont break even. Love the product, break value just isnt there.

Malavon · 04-25-2020, 08:04 PM

Physical boxes of this are $200, seems crazy to pay a $100 premium for the convenience of ePack.

$200 is a fair price. UD typically has sales but I just see them sitting on what they have.

Yep, came close to buying a couple physical cases.

But then I look over some of the epack/ebay sketches and remember some of the stuff coming out of this "premier" product in 2017 and just figured I'd sit this release out, purchasewise. The inserts in 2019 Premier aren't anything special either but still not as bad as those correctly titled 'Busts' from 2017.

Marvel Masterpieces seems to be the better of the higher end Marvel products.

Flair has been fun.

Marvel 80th was somewhat fun until you hit the wall with dupes and the price is a bit much.
