Default UD RAK package

So every year around this time UD sends out Random Act of Kindness packages. I've gotten several over the years due to basically spending a lot on Epack I assume. I appreciate them and this year was a nice one. They sent me a Toni Storm signed poster. It is the one in the link below. Very nice and thank you Upper Deck if they are on here. Curious if anyone else got one this year.

Never gotten anything myself, but I saw they were sending out packages again. Was that from this round of RAK?

Normally I get texts or emails about packages coming but didn't get one so I just checked my FedEx account and I have one from UD arriving tomorrow.

Last year I got sent a big autographed poster of PAC. Be curious to see what I get tomorrow

It is for spending an insane amount on e-pack lol no one buying a few packs here and there gets these, it's basically UD's "Thank you for all the money spent/wasted on our platform".

The Toni is sick, but if you stop buying tomorrow on E-pack don't expect one next year, almost feels like UD's intention as most times people seem to not know exactly why they got one so it is almost treated as a random act of kindness which encourages you to continue spending money as "What other company has sent me a nice care package"?

Glad I stumbled onto the thread. I checked my FedEx app and see a package coming next week. Package says 7lbs so ??? Last year I got a signed funk pop, a signed lithograph, and a poster.

Someone on epack has a 15lb package coming. I know I shouldn't be jealous but I am.

I wouldn't be overly jealous. They probably spent the equivalent of 15lbs in $100 bills to get that 15 pound package(roughly $700k, if you don't care to look it up!)

So doing the math… 8lbs/15lbs =0.533 .533*700,000=373,100???

Guess that'd make sense, but no, I didn't spend $370k on there last year. I was only on site from January through the end of May. But, I did spend somewhere between "How much?" and "You're an idiot!" in those few months

I must be a little fish - only a five pounder incoming. I received a notification today and had no idea what it was.

I've only gotten one thing over the years, and it was a free Batman vs. Spawn comic book last year. Spent tens of thousands of dollars on Epack.

Just got home. Had to work from my brother in law's House today because I had no power since 9:30 last night. A tornado touched down about 3 miles north of my place. Got home a few minutes ago and power was finally back on and FedEx had delivered my RAK

Last year got an autographed poster of PAC, this year Hangman Adam Page

This retails on their site for $300

I legit wonder if these are for big spenders. Doesn't seem random if that's the target. I spent about $3500 last year, which--while a lot to me for random packs--is nowhere close to the top by several levels of magnitude. But I wonder where the cut-off is.

i'll be curious to see if it's aligned to what you purchase (ie, AEW poster if you buy mostly AEW items). i do mostly marvel, non-sports, and some hockey so i'll see what's coming next week.

This must be for those who spent a lot on wrestling products.

This is old but their explanation at least currently kinda seems like BS:

https://www.upperdeckblog.com/2019/0...ram-explained/

Upper Deck also watches how fans engage with each other on the company’s e-Pack platform, especially on the message boards. Great advocates on e-Pack who are very engaged and help others have a good shot at finding a surprise mail day coming their way from Upper Deck.

There is one rule with #UDRAK packages: YOU CANNOT ASK FOR THEM FOR YOURSELF. Upper Deck works to identify deserving fans and surprises them from there, but you cannot ask for these special mail days. Look for more to come in the future as we work to remain the collector’s choice.

Also I swore I remembered another UD RAK thread and wanted to see what people got not knowing it was also started by OP:
https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579601

Just wondering if you changed course on no longer buying on E-Pack? Not a shot circumstances change good if you still can and enjoy ripping e-pack products I only ask because it would go completely against what I said earlier that if you stop buying products they aren't gonna send one the following year. If you received one without spending on E-Pack for over a year it makes even less sense the process since others have spent thousands this past year as mentioned.
