2015-16 SPx Hockey Cards

The value of this product is surprizing to me. I pulled a 2015 SP Authentic Connor Mcdavid future watch patch auto #’ to 100 and it booked at $2500 and it sold for $1200. I then pulled a Connor Mcdavid stick signings auto #’d to 25 and it books at $400? How is that possible? SPX has a smaller print run, the autos are harder to get, and the boxes are more expensive per pack average yet the Mcdavid is valued LESS than SPA? Makes no sense to me. Dont like this product.

I thought this year’s Spx, like most of UD’s offerings so far, was garbage. Most of the jersey/patch cards are manufactured or event-used, not game used. I had some quality issues, where 2 boxes didn’t have the signed rookie memorabilia per box as promised. Instead they just had 2 hits each. Upper Deck is obviously cashing out this year. How Beckett is giving these products 3 and 4 stars for value is beyond me. In fairness to them I will probably still buy more this year because of the strong RC crop, but I won’t be back next year.

Although I did quite bad, I cannot rate this product low. That’s was just my bad luck.
I love the design and all the shapes that remind the X. It’s a great idea to put on the RJAs an acetate, but, as Scott said before, the jerseys are too small. Also, I don’t understand why some players only have signed cards and no RJAs or RPAs. I particularly love the Monochromatics. They are absolutely beautiful. I hope we will see them again in other collections. The checklist was nice, divided as it was. The amount of redemptions was fair, as well as the updates for Artifacts and Trilogy, two strong collections. The problem with this product is the price. It’s rather high for what you get, but I’ve seen much, much worse. Even the McDavid cards don’t worth a lot. If you’re a collector and don’t care much about the value, you should open a box or two. If you’re a seller, I would suggest to save you’re money for other products. The thing is, all the products are rather poor in that aspect this year because of McDavid. This is a kind of a paradox. I believe that the very rich rookie crop was not beneficent for collectors and sellers. UD got greedy and the products were diluted at maximum. People will always complain about their pulls, which is their right, but I have the feeling this year everybody complaints, so something must be wrong :)

Wow, how much more junk can UD put out!! This stuff is absolute garbage, not even close for value wise in a box, let alone a case !!

SPx was never my favourite and this years version is even worse. Design a bit better than last year maybe but not too many other redeeming factors. Less/no chance of hitting interesting memorabilia inserts. Sticker event worn jersey autos not very appealing to anyone, and even McDavid hits in this product won’t have much appeal after a while.

And to be clear in my couple of boxes I actually did quite well – five autos out of 2 boxes (including trilogy update rookie /49) and an artifacts emerald jack eichel /99. I really believe this is a “save your money for something better” kind of product, and not just cause I didn’t hit anything good

I’ve been collecting hockey cards since I was a kid I gotta admit that the 2015-16 hockey cards that are coming out are ruining the fun for me. Upper Deck provided more value per box when Panini was there to compete with them. Now they do what they want and reduce the number of packs and hits per box on almost all their products but still sell well because of a phenom that won’t be there next year. I have not bought anything this year and am boycotting 2015-16 Upper Deck products. Best year was 2005-06 and I’m glad I bought a lot of products from Crosby’s rookie year and 10 years later another phenom takes the collector’s money but wait till next year UD it won’t be as rosy. Shame on the NHLPA for giving an exclusive to UD. Only breakers are making money not collectors unfortunately.

Not worth it. Tough break, minimal hits for the price. A gamble is a gamble, but I’d rather gamble on ice, the cup or SP A. Price needs to go down then maybe, but RPA /499 going for 20$ usd average for the dusters on eBay easy punt. Plus personally don’t like the look of the RPA /499

How did they go to 3 “hits” a box for this price? not even an auto is guaranteed per box. Shameful. Oh, and most of the top rookie signatures are redemptions of course. This is your exclusive provider of NHL licensed Hockey for the foreseeable future everyone. Why there isn’t a bigger outcry like you hear with Panini and their exclusive?? maybe Hockey just isn’t a big enough market. This product is a complete failure, nothing unique, creative or innovative. Same as all, either you get Mcdavid or get bent. have fun next year!

For me this is a 2-star release. I can actually think of quite a few ways it could have been upgraded to a 4-star release.

Although not terribly expensive, there is not even remotely close to the cost of a box in value in probably 19 out of every 20 boxes…like not even in the same ballpark.

If this was exactly as is…but only about $75 CDN per box…4 stars.

If this was the same price it currently is, but had about twice the number of packs…or even more with more inserts and some lower-end hits to round out the remaining packs…4 stars

If the RJAs had swatches that weren’t teeny tiny…a slight increase but probably not a whole other star

If this had a wider checklist of memorabilia inserts and generally more attention to each of the 30 teams…3 stars

Honestly, i’m especially disappointed because the card designs are actually pretty nice…even the base set and the lower-end inserts…they all look great..I think this would be alot of fun for people to collect, but at the low number of packs and mid-level product pricing…it’s going to be looked over by both set collectors on a budget and hit seekers…which leaves an audience of almost nobody

if have 0 on rating i will put!!!dont buy this stuff you very sad after!!!all cards are bolsh**t rookie jersey are to small jersey and nothing in box for that price,for $ for 4 cards and 10 packs !!!do like me stop buying upper deck cards !!!20 year buy some stuff of ud and this year i never see something like that!!!!!

Mike Z..any rookies that debut after the allstar break have to be included as carry over rookies in next years products as stipulated by the nhlpa

Was hoping a few of the Leafs rookies (Nylander in particular) would be in as redemptions in time.

This is ud best ptoduct year in year out

Less cards less hits same price. Upper Deck at its best again….

Remember if you have any quality control issues and want a replacement card. Please email Upper Deck at qa@upperdeck.com

Upper Deck will require a receipt and the UPC Code. They will also need the damaged card or cards. Take photos and copies of everything.
Good Luck.

Can’t wait for this year SPX, I almost have ALL the 2014-15 spx (for real).

I think im gonna buy a case!
