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.
