Upper Deck Hockey Cards New Releases

This is going to be an exciting week for Upper Deck Hockey Cards Collectors. This week Upper Deck will be releasing two new products. First, The Upper Deck Team Canada Master Collection Hockey and second The Upper Deck NHL Artifacts 2015-16.

The First release happens today but I must say it is for the serious collector who has saved up his nickles and dimes throughout the year and maybe some quarters too. From what I gather The Upper Deck Team Canada Master Collection Hockey is selling at around $2700.00.

But fear not, for on its heels is the The Upper Deck NHL Artifacts 2015-16 Hockey Cards and the price point is much more palatable and this set will be released on September 2. I will have more to say on these as I get my hands on them. Cheers.

Upper Deck MVP High Series SP Hockey Cards

Being Friday and all I thought I would share a few pictures of the High Series SP hockey cards that I have acquired thus far with the new release of Upper Deck MVP 2015-16.  First up  Rookie Cards.

Upper Deck MVP Hockey Cards 2015-16 Take Three

Today's Upper Deck MVP hockey cards experience is going to focus on a retail box that I bought while still visiting this nearby city. This retail box of Upper Deck MVP hockey cards had 24 packs with 5 cards per pack for a grand total of 120 hockey cards.

I have kind of a funny story to tell around the purchase of this product. The associate at Toys R Us who just happens to be an avid Hockey Card Collector advised me against buying this product due to the fact that there isn't alot of value in the box. I thought that to be funny considering he is there to sell the products in his department.

But I decided to go ahead even with this buyers beware warning and purchase 1 box at $25.99, not a bad price considering Walmart wanted $29.99 for the same product. I didn't know what to expect especially after being warned. But I think I did okay. Here's the Break Down.

      - High Series SP -16
      - Rookie Cards - 3
      - SilverScript Cards - 2
      - SilverScript Rookie Cards - 1
      - NHL Territories Cards - 1
      - MVP Checklist - 2
      - All 1-100 Cards

I was quite pleased with the cards in this box, especially from a collector who does so for the joy of it. I really collect for the joy of putting sets together than for investment value. I know for the collectors out there and for the associate at the store that I bought this product from I probably didn't score that well, but it comes down to what really makes you happy. Cheers.

Upper Deck MVP 2015-16 Take Two

My next experience with Upper Deck MVP hockey cards was when I visited a hobby shop in a nearby city.  While shopping I picked up a couple single hobby packs each with 8 cards.  There wasn't much to talk about in those 2 packs, no High Series SP or Silver Scripts.  Stay tuned though for I recently bought a retail box of Upper Deck MVP and I will be sharing about that experience. Cheers.

Upper Deck MVP 2015-16

On August 5 Upper Deck released the first hockey offering for 2015-16 NHL season.  I first came across this new set while shopping at a local Toys R Us with my daughter.  So of course I grabbed a pack immediately just out of curiosity, after all it only cost $6.99.

This was a 34 card pack, that was the largest offering  available at this store.  There were no High Series SP cards but I did score this Silver Script of Steve Mason of the Philadelphia Flyers.

I really didn't know what to expect for I hadn't read up on Upper Deck MVP for 2015-16.  However, after purchasing this pack I immediately went online to see what the verdict was and found that the reviews were mixed for this years release.

But to be fair the mix in reviews were coming from two different vantage points, those who bought retail and those who bought hobby.  The hobby crew were quite pleased while the retail buyers were not so happy.

But like the old adage says " you get what you pay for" right.

Cheers.
