People keep buying it in droves, clearly people focus on the high end VS typical box value. I agree, it’s outrageous, but I suppose I can’t fault a company for maximizing profits if the consumer keeps buying.
UD is brilliant, they can put out trash, sticker autos and patches as the box hit and get away with it…maybe you and I won’t buy this but the big guys doing group breaks will buy 30 cases of this guaranteed…brilliant! But not so good for the legit collector
I think it’s got to the point where upper deck knows that people are gonna buy this for the stupid price point regardless of what they throw in just for the shot of getting Bedard
I do like the base, depth of winter, and snowmen, but the price is ridiculous. The prices are getting so high that it seems like you can only get in the black if you pull a non-basic Bedard. It shouldn't only be about resell value, but it is something easy to point at as to how problematic it is getting.
This product really needs to come down in price. $200 per box is just outrageous for this product. Hope someone pulls the 1/1 soon so it comes down haha
Love how the equisites are such a big draw but most of them seem to have varying degrees of edge chipping. Your boys at GP pulled a bedard base exquisite and it had terrible edges.
Just came back to the hobby a couple of months ago. Been buying slabs for now. No fricken way I'm spending that much on a hobby box for the chance of pulling a super rare card.
Another box with no guarantee Auto , that's brutal and def not for me. Best of luck Zeeree, I hope you pull a huge hit 🎯. I'm gonna keep buying singles to add to the collection.
I even remarked when watching this that you sounded positive going into it. I really like that it’s different. I don’t love horizontal cards, but I LOVE that they did something totally different with this set than any other. But I think both the triangle and snowman insert and kinda worthless. The purple and green are basically worthless. Ice produced my best pull ever. But it’s gone so high price wise because the market exploded and UD got greedy. It’s too easy for them.
it's almost the start of the 2025 season and these are all carryover rookies. People stop giving your money to upper deck until they start respecting the hobby again.
UD has lost its way with Ice. Time to go back to the design board & fix the mistakes (ie. get rid of all di-cuts, eliminate rip cards & whoever signed off on the horizontal base should be demoted). There are still some beauty cards in the set BUT the above issues are horrendous when they make up 90% of the box. Box price should be $125 cdn MAX.
Just discovered your channel and love the content so far! My first question (unrelated to this video) is when will we see the Brad Marchand Young Guns card chase video?😅
Further solidifies me just buying a case of OPC each year and wait for anything to go on sale later on, maybe sets of prior years. It’s just getting sad.
Ok the inserts are just awful and the paralells arent much better. Those tiny die cut cards suck, reminds me of the top cheese ones from metal, which were equally as terrible lol. Ill be glad when the Bedard run is over and they have to reconsider pricing
Hard pass on this product. Watered down with die-cuts and damaged cards, not a fan of the horizontal base. Hard pass on this product. Would rather buy more allure than this product.
It's hard to believe people still by this garbage. No offense but if you collect hockey cards you guys should revolt against this dump of a company Literally all there sets except the really high end ones have nothing guaranteed and you need to spend 700 dollars plus on 3 boxes to get an auto lost the time. Shit is a joke
Zeeree you gotta be makin lots of $ from your hype. You had credibility with honest assessments of new product but that was long ago. Your now just a mouthpiece for upper decks new overpriced garbage. I would love to see you go back to the criticism of products that you knew were just a gouge. Loved the hobby but who can keep spending piles on new releases and consistently end up with a miniscule return. Bedard may end up as great as Patrick kanes career but he's no crosby or gretzky. Can't fathom why collectors see him as something he's not. Hype..... Who's next ? I have piles of young guns from the last 20 yrs of upper deck. Most cant miss stars are names I don't even remember so a word to the wise. Do your homework and grasp what upper decks doing and be patient. Cole Caulfields young guns may be $20 in a year or 2. These aren't blue chip stocks and sportscards don't equate to a retirement plan. They are part of a hobby and should be enjoyed and collected. That's the last word. Enjoy the hobby avoid the greed.
$230 for a basic jersey card and some numbered parallels is just gross
Extortion at this point lol
yeah ima just scoop up singles for like 20$ from the poor guy who opens this stuff lol
Dude for REAL

That’s why you buy singles …….the ones you want!!!!!

Yes we are in a gambling economy. Even the products that were once for kids are now priced for gambling adults.
Blame the breakers.
You know it's a rough break when he starts dropping the "aw jeeze's"
ouch

VERY underwhelming...... thanks for taking one for the team . Great channel , always love Watching your breaks !!
id much rather the exquisites not be in here and take the price down, i was really looking forward to this product but $230 is just way too much
I bought a box and ripped it on my channel and believe it or not it was worse
Love how the equisites are such a big draw but most of them seem to have varying degrees of edge chipping. Your boys at GP pulled a bedard base exquisite and it had terrible edges.
Those 'filler cards' are never damaged however 🤔
Brutal 2nd box. Not buying a box. Thanks for the break
I think the minten is a blue as well
Only thing I like is the looks of the snowman cuts
Just came back to the hobby a couple of months ago. Been buying slabs for now. No fricken way I'm spending that much on a hobby box for the chance of pulling a super rare card.
I liked ice but 230 for this is cracked, I'm not going near it
That was cool to open that one card in the back
I like those Guttman pulls
I wish they would make the products better not mass produced cards
Another box with no guarantee Auto , that's brutal and def not for me. Best of luck Zeeree, I hope you pull a huge hit 🎯. I'm gonna keep buying singles to add to the collection.
someone know where he can find all those checklist... is it on Beckett??
What happened to one auto and one mem/patch per box. Upper deck is turning into topps and Panini with all the parallels they put in a set.
The Exquisite cards I've seen pulled have all been damaged. I think they put them in Ice because of that.
I even remarked when watching this that you sounded positive going into it.
I really like that it’s different. I don’t love horizontal cards, but I LOVE that they did something totally different with this set than any other.

Ice produced my best pull ever. But it’s gone so high price wise because the market exploded and UD got greedy. It’s too easy for them.
My lcs pulled a bedard auto redemption out of 25 from the case they opened. Pretty wild
What does it mean by inner case?
Seems like retail is the way to go with this product until the price comes way down. Already seeing these listed online for $180 USD.
Fraser Minten was a blue parallel. He is a level 5, /999.
it's almost the start of the 2025 season and these are all carryover rookies. People stop giving your money to upper deck until they start respecting the hobby again.
Hopefully the retail is good really like ice

This should be $120
That was absolutely brutal
You get a big stack of packs, but 20% of the stack are decoys!😅
This is why i never open hockey cards pack almost,its just a joke.
Should I buy a box of this or extended 🤔 ??
Just burn the cash instead, more fun
@empire0 hahahahahaha ! I mean with seeing some of the videos and what gets pulled who knows anymore
Is it just me or is ice very underwhelming this year. I don't think I will be buying any .
nICE
gps opened 2 and pulled signature swatches roman josi it was a dope card
Yeah, he has a CT scanner...
That coke can f**king kills me every time 😂😂
Hell yeah Zeeree, let’s go!
Holy Filler! First pack isn't even opened until 4:45!! More than a third of the video LUL
So what? Zeeree likes to explain new products on release day...
background is clean
I just hit an exquisite rookie autograph of Kaprizov in one of these box in GP's break!!! I'm still in shock!!
Lol GP breaks....
@@sportsfix6975 Last 3 weeks I paid 350$ and receives almost 3k in cards so yeah, GP Sportscards breaks are great
Im glad I avoided this product this year.When the price falls to half off I'll give it a try

I wish Greigs card was a pic of him taking a a clapper on the laughs
Upper deck is becoming the homeopathic version of medicine lol. At least this was an affordable break...Doh!
This shit is a rip off. I bought a pack of the cup for 3k and got absolutely nothing, felt like I got robbed. Not worth it boys, save your money!
“ you’re paying for the experience “ 😂😂😂
@@ItsFrauds. LMAO
If it wasn’t for Bedard, this product would be dirt cheap
No it wouldn't. It would just be slightly cheaper.
Probably around $160 CAN. 60 bucks cheaper. I wouldn't buy this for $160.
that Kelemen card was thick for WHAT?
Walker Jeffrey Harris Nancy Garcia Jason
those were rough...
How the heck do collector's make a set ??? so expensive these days...and some weird shaped ..hockey cards ???
If these boxes were $99 CAD I'd still feel ripped off.
Thank you for saving me some money! Terrible stuff!
Bought some packs 16.00 a pack worst product.
Hard no.
Second lpl
If I want an Ice box I'll stick to 2021-22 which I can get for 60 a box
This is just awful from UD
Doesn’t help when people keep paying these ridiculous prices! I sure as heck won’t
still not as bad as black diamond
Thank you for using your hard earned money to buy 2 of these boxes for content lol
Ice use to be such a nice set back in the day. What a dumpster fire it is now.
Won’t be buying this shit that’s for sure
Yuck
The perfect example of why I stopped buying boxes to open. Sad.
Wow … even worse is watching a certain breaker charging 2000 bucks for Chicago in team select. Spot should come with lube 😂
Hi zeree
Weird cards at the first look!
This is what happens when you have a monopoly on a product
should have bought upper deck stock 😂
After watching a bunch of vids of ice today, I'm 100% not buying any boxes.
Feels illegal to be this early
I love the horizontal cards
Watered down how sad fir $230 i will buy earlier ueara i stead
Would you sell the Pospisil he is my PC
Y elok
God bless you sir, that was a steaming pile of poop.
Pleasepleaseplease wait for spa
This should be $100 at most for that garbage and that's pushing it.
Spoiler Blocker
Ok the inserts are just awful and the paralells arent much better. Those tiny die cut cards suck, reminds me of the top cheese ones from metal, which were equally as terrible lol. Ill be glad when the Bedard run is over and they have to reconsider pricing
Wow. Absolutely disgusted on the level of greed. Haven't liked ice for years and now it's dead for me. Won't buy ice ever again
Yikes.
So you'll open up a $1000 of ice, but you won't open up a $1000 of dollarama?! Come on zeeree we're asking for it!
That’s gross. Unreal.
Hard pass on this product. Watered down with die-cuts and damaged cards, not a fan of the horizontal base. Hard pass on this product. Would rather buy more allure than this product.
Upper Deck are killing the hobby, straight up
Wow not a fan of this at all! Thanks for showing us zeeree
First
the designs are terrible! credentials is the best so far
I'd rather open Upper Deck baseball cards from the mid 90s then this crap. Yikes.
For the price of one box you could open a case of 90s baseball cards
Upper Deck is so lucky Bedard came along. No one would be buying any of thus garbage. Next year gonna be rough for them.
It's hard to believe people still by this garbage. No offense but if you collect hockey cards you guys should revolt against this dump of a company
Literally all there sets except the really high end ones have nothing guaranteed and you need to spend 700 dollars plus on 3 boxes to get an auto lost the time. Shit is a joke
No guarantee in life except death and taxes and card box companies ripping us OFF😮

Interested in the Stephenson if it’s available. Tried messaging you on ig last month about some allure cards
This product is hot garbage
