Busted 4 packs on ePack the other day and always love seeing a toploader peeking around the edges

Hoping for something big....

I hit this

OK, its a Purple 1/1of Blink

Not the best but not the worst.

Now it gets fun ... When I first saw it I was like "hmmm, what do I REALLY have" because this is what the front looks like

Having pulled a Blink Green, I knew it didn't come in a toploader and the ePack text/stamp on back correspond to the Purple FX 1/1.

I have already reached out to UD CS and they are going to swap out for something of equal or greater value and I gave them a nice list of Marvel characters/Other names. Will update when I receive.

Archangel1775 · 01-19-2022, 05:40 PM

Interesting, wrong front scan? Also, you mentioned the last Green PMG you pulled wasn't top loaded in the scan. I was under the impression all of them were.

jaybirdmh93 · 01-19-2022, 09:13 PM

No I pulled quite a few actually and they weren’t toploaded. As for this one, I dunno if they put the green on the front of the purple back or stamped a green 1/1 in error. The purple don’t have the PMG name on the front though

Harow · 01-19-2022, 11:35 PM

It's a tough choice...1 of 1...or PMG /10.
Either way, I envy you lol

Awesome hit! I hit the same one a few months back

Had mine shipped to me and the back edges were rough. Still sold it for a pretty penny though

Nice hit! Pulled a green high series Deadpool a week ago and had to ship it home too. Was feeling the pressure of all the crazy offers I was getting haha.

Some nice cards for 2022 thus far! Congrats to all!

KLS23KLS · 01-25-2022, 01:29 AM

Wow, that Wolvie high series Green is hot. Here is the Wolverine alpha I pulled a week or two ago...

Gosh dang man!

Could someone be so kind to explain to me how the e-pack thing works. I have an account and opened some free packs and have bought some packs, but there are some cards that i can choose to ship to me physically, but then there are others in the account that doesn't have that option. How does this work really? Only some cards will become physical cards and you can ship, and others are just meant to be digital? Also, for the Marvel cards, i was trying to look around and research, and it said something like you have to collect 10 copies of the card to be able to obtain 1 physical card or something like that? Is that how it works? Thank you in advance for anyone who is kind enough to educate me a little.

Also, congrats to all the awesome pulls. Cards look great!

EPack has digital cards and physical cards and there is a symbol marking the physical cards. Digital cards cannot be shipped. Some (not all) digital cards can be combined after you get X amount of a card to make a physical card. It will note how many needed to combine if you click on the card in your collection. It is also noted in the product description.

The free daily cards are now largely just digital only and cannot be combined. I think Doctor Strange might be the only daily free card that has a chance to be combinable if you collect enough of one.

Thank you so much finfangfan. I really appreciate it.

Bought 6 packs, like an idiot, nothing but base. Congrats on whomever bought the other 6 and got 4 hits.

Yea wow, just went on a spending spree and spent a little over $2k on these and id be lucky to get back 10% of the purchase price, absolutely brutal. Cant believe a $22/pack product has digital cards. Don't even like most of the art or the inserts, should have continued to avoid epack... Oh well it was an expensive lesson to re-learn

Sorry to hear
Happy you posted here -
Sometimes people don’t realize that your break is real life - you don’t typically hit a home run - usually you may cover 10% - when I cover 50% that is considered a win for me.

mvp · 01-27-2022, 10:51 AM

Are the box break odds the same for physical boxes and epack boxes? I'm still getting my head around how this works too.

Don't see how it could be if the physical boxes have 100% physical cards. This is what has bothered me about the epack release of this set from the start.

In the Shop, Click on "More Info" when you hover over picture of the pack art of the set your interested in. Toward the bottom you'll see three tabs that says "Description"(Highlighted in blue) , "Odds" and "Exclusives". Click on "Odds" to highlight that in blue. Those are your box/pack odds for epack.

Absolutely not. First thing to know is that epack packs/boxes/cases published odds are "across the entire product run" and not individual to your specific unit of purchase unless specified. This is what leads a lot of people to buy two packs, or whatever number, several times in a row, and generates random hot streaks.

I use the term "warm packs" for epack purchases because they tend to have slightly better odds than their physical counterparts, and you pay a premium for the very slightly different odds. It's like paying second sticker for a car you can't see until you sign the paperwork.

It all boils down to appealing to the gambler in each of us, and using the same psychological tricks to separate you from your money.

Congrats. I had a calling. Did one pack. Got zilch.

chrispy987 · 01-27-2022, 03:39 PM

I just bought my first pack since I had 24 dollars in Paypal sitting there.

Ended up with a Shatterstar PMG Green 7/10.
