2015-16 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Cards – e-Pack Release

I think this is a nice product for a new entrant in the trade.
A question for you guys : I have found 3 Gold scripts numbered to 100 in the box I bought. There is no mention of these in the Product details section…
Anybody got some ?

Does anybody know if what the redemptions expiration date is?

Richard Harris, that’s retail for you.. Upper Deck calls their retail products as “set fillers”.. That’s why, when you see the odds on fat packs, they don’t have jerseys or autos.. Upper Deck has really ruined hockey cards that they’re not worth buying anymore.. I wish they’d kill off that hobby crap and sell in retail..

i got the same name pronounciation for Andrew Copp card rookie the pronunciation is Jean-Francois Berube and my friend is the same too

So, I just wanted to collect the Winnipeg Jets cards from this set (I think they look great) but just wondering something. On the back of the cards, it has the pronunciation of their names. On my Rookie Andrew Copp card, it has the pronunciation of Jean-Francois Berube (??). Is there greater value of a card with an error on it? Just curious. Thought it was funny such a short name had this big huge pronunciation. Weird. Not even a guy from that team. Anyone notice it before?

Picked up a $20.00 blaster at my local wal-mart and by far was the best break of my life. First pulled a Trouba auto, then a Bobby Orr auto, then a Gretzky auto. All in the same Blaster box!!!

Excellent Product, Cards are really nice to look

Just opened a hobby box and I didn’t get the 1 “big hit” that I can see. Not too happy about that. All of the other cards where there I think but it’s really hard to tell.

I bought 2 19.99 retail blaster boxes.I got a full set of the base cards(1-100) and almost
another set of base cards.I received the stated odds on the short prints.The only problem
I had was in one of the boxes I had 24 MISCUT cards…even for a low price point product that
is to high. It would have received 3 or 4 stars without the miscut problem.I like the sp’s as it
gives a little valve to this product.

I give 4 stars to this product. I opened 1 hobby cases.

Checklist � It’s ok, but some teams are underrepresented (e.g. Arizona 1 player in the base checklist, one one in the SP checklist, Buffalo with very few players, etc.), while other teams are overrepresented, such as NYR. I understand it’s a matter of hockey culture and some geographical areas are not as hot as others, but still. Also, I don’t understand why not all teams have at least one rookie. Sure, they may never make the team, but still, it would be fun to have at least one rookie per team.
Design � Nice design, especially the Silver Scripts. The Territories are awesome. It’s good to have an idea of the city the teams play in.
Quality � I always find defaults when I open UD cases, but this time there were almost none. Only some damaged or bent base cards.
Inovations � I know people really like the Colours and Contours set, but personally I’m not very fond of it. I’m more of a sobre hockey cards lover.
Notable Pulls � 4 Super Scripts (Pelle Lindberg et al.), 1 2015 Stanley Cup Final, 2 Pro Signs, 1 Printing Plate (Toews!! :) ), 5 Territories with Patch (Price and Ovi :) ), 1 with signature (Ekblad!), 1 Pacific Redemption and YES, THE FIRST DRAFT PICK REDEMPTION (no auto though).

I give it 4 stars because of the McDavid redemption I pulled. If not, for me, it’s a 3 stars product, mainly because UD guarantees no hit. For this kind of product there should be one in every box!

Cheers!

Well, obviously, I am going to rate it a 5 – not that the total is truly a 5, but I pulled the #1 Draft Pick AUTOGRAPH Redemption card for McDavid…it will be his first in an Oilers jersey, and I have only seen 4 others on Ebay (mine is 191676147733).
I wonder what the actual number produced for this amazingly rare card is? anyone have any idea?

Bought 2 hobby boxes 1st one had a jersey and a rookie redemption second one had nothing not to happy about it i had only 23 shortprints i my box instead of 24

Bought two hobby boxes with zero hits or rookie redemptions. But, since they aren’t guaranteed, not too upset. You pay for the fun of opening the first hockey cards of the season and that’s exactly what I got. Cheers!

I like the idea of one hit per box for sure. I have opened three boxes and only pulled two major hits. My first two hits were the Torey Krug auto and the #1 draft pick redemption non-auto version. My third box yielded no hits that I can tell. It would be nice to better understand what UD defines as a major hit.

I have been purchasing packs since the products has hit hobby store shelves and I am pretty happy with it. I am really waiting for Upper Deck Series 1 which becomes available in November but MVP helps with the wait. Last night I bought 14 packs and I pulled a ProSign Johnny Gaudreau Auto and loaded up on strong Rookie Cards. Of course the hunt is still on for Connor McDavid redemption card. Like O-Pee-Chee this product is a great product for young and/or novice hockey collectors.

Turns out that Upper Deck does not guarantee a “big hit” with every hobby box of this product…I love the way the cards look but I won’t be buying this or any other Upper Deck product anymore.

Well I’m confused, I bought a hobby box and didn’t get a hit of any kind. I got all the parallels I was supposed to, the three territories, and the 8 silver scripts

I opened 3 hobby boxes of this, I quite like the new Colors and Contours and the new Territories cards but their are some serious collation issues in this product. Out of 72 short print base I got only 32 of them were unique meaning over half were of them were repeats and I have less then 1/3 of them. On top of that 2 of the boxes were missing their hit card. I’ve seen some boxes have upwards of 3 hits and some with 0, I get that is a low end product but at least expecting to be farther along in the short prints at this point.

I bought a case of Hobby and this is what I pulled from the 16 boxes: 23 base 1-100 sets, 3 SP/RC sets between 101-200, and was missing 2 out of the 201-250 Territories cards. Got 2 ProSigns, 6 Territory Jerseys, 2 Territory autos, a plethora of C&C’s in all 9 levels, 4 Super Scripts #/25, 1 Stanley Cup Playoff, a #1 Rookie Redemption, a Division Redemption, and a 1on1 Dual Autograph (RNH&Hall). No Gold Scripts or Printing Plates.

Hi all,

I just want to reiterate, I know the difference of retail and hobby, and blaster and fat packs, first of all I bought it because it was my only option, because, I love hobby boxes, and they only had retail, second off I know of the futility of retail, but even in the past I have got much more with retail boxes of Upper deck, Pacific Prizm , Donruss or even Score (mainly bought at target and Walmart in the past 5 years or so). So Yeah I am hoping that a hobby box will be much better!
thanks

THIS IS NOT A SET FOR SET BUILDERS. STOP REFERRING TO IT AS SUCH.

I bought a $20 blaster. I pulled a complete 1-100 base set, 12 of the SP from 101-200 (only 3 RC), and ZERO of the cards from 201-250.

Just because something is cheap doesn’t automatically qualify it as a set builders set. Just because 5 people might actually complete a set doesn’t make it a set builders set either.

THIS IS NOT A SET FOR SET BUILDERS. STOP REFERRING TO IT AS SUCH.

And before anybody comes back and tells me I can purchase the 138 cards I’m missing on ebay, then let me ask you then how does this remain a low end set with that kind of expense added in?

THIS IS NOT A SET FOR SET BUILDERS. STOP REFERRING TO IT AS SUCH.

Hi Richard. I’ve never bought anything else besides hobby, so I’m not an expert in retail, but, from what I can understand from the odds written below every insert in the present checklist, there are no colors and contours, pro signs, one of one, post season variations, or NHL territories autos. As for the redemptions and NHL territories materials, the odds to find them in a retail are really low (1:3840, 1:9600, and 1:750). Basically, if I’m not wrong, the only things you can get in a retail are:
Base cards (with all the possible short prints, rookies and NHL territories)
Silver Script parallels
NHL Territory Materiales (1:750)
and Redemptions with almost impossible odds (see my text).
Again, if I’m not wrong, there’s no wonder you pulled what you pulled. My advice is to check exactly what comes in a retail box and what comes in a hobby.
If I’m wrong about this, please, someone correct me.
Cheers!

Really tough to knock this product at the price point. opened 5 hobby boxes at 45$ each (why waste your time with the retail?) pulled some great colors an contours…. lots of nice silver scripts. a reider pro sign auto… a ladd superscirpt.. an ekblad jersey, a shore printing plate and the macdavid rookie redepmtion. can’t ask for a more fun product for the price point.

Hi Richard that box was S*** pretty much but if you get a hobby for 70 I think you might walk away with a smile. MVP isn’t the best product but it is very cheap

Hi all,
I just wanna say that I was really looking forward to this product seeing the checklist and all the possible inserts and rookies and stuff, so I bought a box sat august 8th,(50$ Canadian) I was looking for a blaster or hobby box, all I could find was a retail 36 pack box, figuring that there are more than the standard 24 pack box. boy was I wrong.
breakdown

36 packs=

6 grey parallels
4 rookies (out of 36 packs what is this SP authentic?)
2 territory inserts, (Roy and Damphousse).
0 signed cards
0 numbered
0 redemption
0 jersey cards
0 colors and contours????
and like 12 high number sp cards (Brett Hull and Messier being the only notable ones)
where’s anything , talk about a box of commons!

So as you can tell, I was very disapointed with this, Hell I bought a score box for 20 bucks and it had much more bang to it,(and we are talking Score here), so correct me if I am wrong but is that not the Worst box ever!!!

is there anyone I can complain to about this? (like upperdeck or something). Avoid like the plague!!!
thank you
