After doing weekly chases on all types of set for years - I've learned by now the price of the packs is always significantly higher than what the end achievements sell for. If they weren't, everything would sell out in seconds.

With perfect collation, it will be $640 in pack purchases to get one PMG. That being said, I bet they end up selling for under $200.

That's useful to know, I was debating whether or not to just wait until the aftermarket or not, feel semi committed almost a 3rd of the way in though the weeks.

At the minute there stands to be more Neo's then of the other characters.

Pretty much sitting out pack buying on this set but I did think this plate was cool so snagged it on COMC for like the price of 5 packs. Better than pack gambling and getting skunked!

JWBlue · 07-05-2025, 11:45 PM

Anyone else enjoying this? I opened one pack and did. I wish buying the first week.

I will buy every week.

I'm trying to get the Neo PMG. It's going to be a battle

I'm also in for the long haul. Have enough of everything required to get 3 PMGs + a Neo PMG.

Will likely need to trade as the PMGs are randomly awarded, unless I win the RNG lottery.

I'm also tracking the maximum theoretical amount of PMGs that can be awarded after each week.

I haven't had much luck with inserts or plates at the moment overall, hoping that changes from next week onwards.

I gave up after week two. The packs cost too much for what it is, and the cost would far outstrip the value of the reward. I traded what I'd accumulated out pretty easily.

Will pick up the PMG's at a fraction of the cost later.

was originally thinking the same but the theoretical maximum number of PMGs per character is dropping each week, I suspect these will be more difficult to pick up longer term then I originally anticipated. With the 5th movie confirmed I expect there will be limited quantities floated on the secondary market till then.

Pulled my first plate today and couldn't of asked for a better pull from this week. Agent Smith is one of my favourite characters.

finfangfan · 07-08-2025, 04:31 PM

That’s a cool plate… congrats!

ATLOTP · 07-08-2025, 08:20 PM

nice plate. I didn't hit anything this week. brutal

Thanks! Have you hit something every week so far lol?

I have to say they've done a really good job so far IMO on the images used in this set.

I've averaged 1 "hit" per week, 1 plate, 2 blues, 2 reds. But I spent way more this week with no hit. I think the set looks great, all the cards are sick, but it's pretty expensive and if I don't get 1 of each blue to get the Neo I'm going to lose my mind

Amazing!

On this page is a No Purchase Necessary entry to win one of 30 inserts. Takes less than a minute to fill out the form.

1 entry per person.

Last day is July 23rd.

Drawing 90 days after. On the dropdown menu select "Trading Card"

https://upperdeck.com/sweepstakes/

Which cards on the checklist are considered inserts? Puzzle pieces is my guess.

JWBlue · 07-14-2025, 10:46 PM

I hate myself.

I traded a really nice physical card (Flying Face-Off) for a digital card (Agent Agility- Digital Rain).

I thought the digital rain cards were physical.

JWBlue, the insert cards are basically the CodeFX cards from the set and printing plates.

If you need any spare cards drop me a DM, I might be able to help you out, or help give you some spare cards to use as trade bait.

Hey man...I appreciate that.

I was considering sending a message to Upper Deck saying that the checklist should have been more clear what cards were digital and what were hard copies.

I know that there are logos on the cards on our Collection page identifying what cards are hard copies but someone new to the platform such as myself might overlook that. On the checklist page make the most sense. Something in parentheses.

I am looking to get the "Flying Face-Off" Base Card back. If available I would be willing to buy it and trade a card I don't want for it.

Picked up this cool plate today. Pretty much got everything I wanted out of the set and I didn’t even buy a pack! COMC for the win!

OMG, I never even saw that! How much did you pay? I pulled the Cyan plate, I've only pulled two plates but got two characters and both my favourite characters so very happy so far.

I also have all of the /50 code fx inserts, pulled two and bought two.

Archangel1775 · 07-31-2025, 06:23 AM

Went ham on this weeks pack with Keanu Reeves /1499. You can't lose and hit 3 Golds and Neo's counterpart, my favorite and directly to PC:

gamingcards · 07-31-2025, 01:13 PM

Great hit, congrats! Love the green.

It's pretty clear that a big proportion of inserts won't get pulled.

I've seen some of the cards on a video, the gold character cards/499 look great.

I've seen a few packs sold out but haven't been tracking these lately. I usually buy 1 pack and move on. This week was different. A Keanu Reeves Neo portrait card in every pack numbered to /1499 or less is as safe as you can get. This is also the first Matrix Trading Card USA set. Definitely a sleeper as I'd imagine most dont even know they exist.

How is there not a card for the gun battle in the building lobby?
