Upper Deck MVP Hockey Cards e-packs vs Hobby vs Retail

I bought some Upper Deck MVP Hockey Cards in 2015-16.  I bought 1 retail box at the local Walmart and 1 Hobby Box at a not so local Hobby Shop.  I didn't expect to get much from the retail box and guess what I didn't.  However, when I bought the Hobby Box I did expect a little better results but I was bitterly disappointed.  The best that I did was some color and contours and some silver scripts and thats about it. 


So when the 2016-17 MVP came around I really didn't bother buying much except for a couple single packs at a local Toy R US. Then recently after getting some free e-packs of the 2016-17 MVP Cards I decided to give it a try.  So in the last couple of days I bought 10 Packs and the results I must say have been much better, below is a snap shot of the cards that I got.


1 Pro Sign - Aleksander Barkov PRO-AB 1:2,688
1 Super Script - Adam Hemrique #25
4 Rink Leaders
3 Colors and Contours
4 Silver Scripts
1 Rookie Card
Plus 9 High Series Cards


So in my experience any way and I know this is a small sample, I think that e-packs for this series of cards are the best bang for the buck.  And yes I will be buying some more of these in the future.  Cheers.
