2022 Upper Deck AEW

[hammerva]

Watching the Titan break as well and man there are some serious centering problems. I mean cutting off the numbers awful.

Looks like all the relics I see on eBay are mat relics.....ick!

[DrZman]

Saw on Dynamite they announced this will be in epack Friday at 3. Curious to see how much they overcharge for it with Series 1 still sitting at 200 for a year now.

[hammerva]

I think the success of Epacks depends on how hard it is to get Blasters. Like mentioned before blasters were hard to come by in Target and Walmarts. So Epacks were a godsend for some people. But if you can go and get a blaster for $30 you would be an idiot to get maybe 1/5 of the number of cards for only a 1/3 of the price. Unless you like the idea of not keeping any of the base cards.

Ripped 3 boxes at my buddies shop for like $80 a box was definitely happy with my boxes

I think it depend on whether or not you want the cards in-hand, on epack for trading, or on COMC.

Last year's blaster were only in Target for a couple days (at least in my area), but there are loads available for sale on ebay, and still available on epack (way overpriced, in my opinion)

Nice Darby auto. Are both of your Main Features colors messed up at the top too??

Mine were. In the middle, top of card, starting to come up/off

[DrZman]

That Tay auto /15 is pretty wild. Is that some sort of error or does everyone in the checklist have an on card /15?

Looks like they just had them auto last year's base card.

[gorillaz]

yeah I've seen a couple Tony Schiavone's and I think a hardy, both canvas buyback autos

Oh you’re right I didn’t even catch that’s last years, even more odd.

[hammerva]

Yeah putting some 2021 cards autographed in these packs is weird but also the way they put them is even weirder. It looks like they just put the card in a penny sleeve inside the pack with a small card inside of it to verify that it is authentic.

Upper Deck used to do that with their buyback autos in other sports too.

I got my 1 box and my hit was a Breakouts Brian Danielson. I must say the Breakouts cards are really well done this year. I also got 2 numbered base in my box (Riho, and Black) as well as Sting SP Canvas. It seems to me that overall the value in boxes is way better then last years release. Looking forward to opening some blasters.

[Joshi City]

As a big "on card autograph" guy, I do really like the inclusion of the buyback autos. I don't know if they will hold the value just because buybacks in general tend to be less popular, but I think they are pretty cool. If there is one for Shida I'll probably try to buy it.

[elektrokuter]

I like the buybacks I just wish they used a pen that shows up better

[Mike Chase]

Opened 2 boxes nothing crazy got a CM Punk Main Features #'D to 50 with the top damaged. Also got a Punk
Purple #'D 199. Bucks Purple to 199, Pillman Jr to 299 Orange.

And a Griff Garrison ring mat relic...

And a redemption for Jumbo Mat signature by Jungle Boy to 10. So that might be worth something.

Jumbo mat signature is probably the hit of the case honestly.

[tomahawk]

SO MANY of the numbered Main Features cards appear to have that same top edge damage. I'll probably still end up ripping a couple of hobby boxes soon since prices are getting a bit more reasonable, but MF is one of the nicer inserts in the set, so that's a huge bummer.

I'm probably a bigger Upper Deck apologist than most, but that level of QC is completely inexcusable. And it seems pretty unlikely they'll be able to replace any of these from what I understand.

[DrZman]

Traded in some stuff and got a decent deal on 2 boxes. Looks like you can all stop pulling now because the product hit has been pulled, read it and weep Griff Garrison 1/1 printing plate auto. I will listen to offers starting at 2k and up:

[Mike Chase]

Blasters from Target came in today. Cash Wheeler, Trent, and Britt Baker #'d to 399. I think those are in every blaster could be wrong. And 2 more mat relic cards. Danielson and The Blade. A lot better than the 2021 release.

I also got my blasters in from Target today, 3 of them.

It looks like Main Features, Outside the Ring, and Debut Dates Inserts have Gold Retail only parallels as they were not in Hobby when I busted 8 boxes. Gold OTR fall 1:40 packs, Main Features Gold fall 1:5 packs, and Debut Dates fall 1:40 packs also.

I think I did just as well in my three blasters as the cost of 1 hobby, as my LCS is selling hobby for $75

I have three blasters in the mail from Target and I'm looking forward to opening them, though I'm probably saving them for Christmas. But I love that you can pull the Breakouts from these - probably the most desirable insert set this year.

I'm unsure what I think about the green pyro /399. That numbering is so high, it loses a little exclusivity at that point imo. The numbered stuff was real tough to hit out of blasters last year, but at least you could hit high gloss /10 and true black 1/1s. Will be interesting to see if either of those are packed in retail this time around. I do see that red relics /50 are coming out of blasters, which is very nice.

Got one blaster.
