2023-24 Upper Deck Series - 2 Boxes - Insert Overload

[Ironman Indy]

Like a lot of people I purchased a couple boxes of S1 to guarantee I get a couple boxes of S2

12 fat packs per hobby box - 12 cards - 3 inserts per pack - no jerseys - no decoys - no autos (save for a few limited canvas autos)

Anyway here is what you can expect in a box or 2






























Here is the breakdown

2023-24 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey Hobby Box Break Average
6 Young Guns Rookie Cards
4 UD Canvas
1 Base Outburst Silver
1 Additional Parallel (Base Clear Cut, UD Canvas Black & White OR 200' x 85' Gold)
2 200' x 85' Inserts
1 Dazzlers Blue Insert
8 Inserts (Debut Dates, Rookie Retrospective, Stat Box Fillers AND/OR Teacher's Pet)
6 Additional Inserts (Honor Roll AND/OR UD Portraits)
6 Additional Inserts (Special Edition, Stat Surge AND/OR Star Zone)
1 Wildcard (includes all rare ratio and #'d cards)


...and I pretty much hit everything I was supposed to - no big fancy clear cut or low #d parallels, no Bedard LOL

Levi YG was nice, plus a couple other mid range ones

Got a YG BW Canvas and YG reg canvas

Anyway let's see what I can recoup on these, not likely to get my money pack but a bit o fun on a Wednesday night

Good luck with your breaks!

Cheers :beer:

I have been out of the wax game for years, so I’m legit asking because I don’t know, is there a single card in there that can get you more than a toonie?

Decent array of cards Geoff, and i agree that the Levi is sharp!

Talk to me about buying S1 to guarantee yourself some S2? Is that really what UD has done??

2 pretty good boxes. I really like how they made the Population Count acetate cards this year.

This is not UD. If I am correct, these are stores telling people they wont get UD2 without getting UD1. What this does is force the hand of customers and in turn ramps up the order numbers to allow dealers to get more of UD2 because of the distribution allocation game.

I am interested to see what Fanatics does with this. It could shake up the game of the middle man distribution centres. We will find out in near future.

I think that Devon Levi YG would probably fetch alot more than a toonie. I'll take 50 of them if they are selling for $2.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I did manage to make a few toonies back already, almost one box worth on the Levi, Askarov, Coronato and Beck.

My LCS will ensure I get 2 boxes of S2 for the same preorder price when it comes out and not marked up after the fact

I am keeping the Ahos and have listed a few of the other better hits online
