I probably buy more UD than most here saying there still so affordable, I just don’t absolve presidents because they make some cool LinkedIn posts yall fell for. Please post your recent Ud purchases beyond S1/2 if responding not just claim everything is worth the price while not opening your wallet.

lol the Hockey section here has been like that since 1954. Has nothing to do with box prices.

The reality is that the hockey market is miniscule compared to other sports.

But Upper Deck nevertheless continues to pump out more products than there is demand for.

And the fact that Upper Deck has largely eliminated HOF content from most of their products isn't helping either. I'm still working on HOF auto sets from 10-15 years ago, but I don't think I've collected anything released since the pandemic.
