The problem is you’re buying individual boxes. Everything was already cherry picked through those cases man. Take a break, save some money, and get a full case of spa because it’s one of your favorite products and you’re guaranteed a case hit.
That's kind of a tough pill to swallow at $7000 for a case, if there is 16 in a case. Its the gamble you take, but thatd be blaitantly foolish. Especially on a product that now shows it sticks together
@@danielwheeler7670 $7000 for a case of SPA? That would be just ridiculous pricing if it is that much. I can't think of a card in the entire set I would want to buy for $7000.

I’m the same way I stopped buying boxes like crazy and just buy singles of what I want. I’ll buy one or two boxes of series one, and two but that’s about it
You could hear your soul leaving your body as you went through the box. Pretty brutal man. Buying older boxes is just painful. Paing a premium for a box that you might get 30 dollars worth of cards out of is brutal. You should stick to current year and just speculate. Hold on to some cards for some guys and let them grow in value. Selling off your new good pulls in order to buy boxes you lose on is just bad business and it can't be good for your mental health.
There will never be a better entertainer than you to open boxes and packs! You must of been born with a pack in your hand when your mom gave birth! You're definitely the best Zeeree. Keep opening them packs mon ami! Eric Desjardins Montreal, Canada. "Go HABS Go"!!!!
Zeeree I think you need to take a break from the channel for a bit, we as your fans are here because we enjoy watching you open some hockey packs and we get to take a break from our lives to watch an entertaining and funny guy as yourself.. we aren't here to only see you pull a $100,000 card. I think I speak for everyone when I say if you were to open $1 packs from the dollar store, we will still be here. I would rather watch you open $1 packs with absolutely nothing inside but you go back to acting like you actually want to make these videos rather than watching videos like this one. Not trying to hate... You just don't seem to enjoy making these videos and it's getting hard to watch. I think a break could help 👍❤️
Yeah this ^ I started watching around 3/4 years ago and enjoyed the mystery box and repack stuff. They're not great, but that was kinda the fun. $50 and who knows. This is just *hostile*
Firmly bum-fricked by the hockey card Gods again. I applaud your ability to keep it together and not curse up a storm after that break ( or I applaud your editing skills ) as that was a lot of money literally flushed down the toilet. Brighter days ahead !
As someone who opened so many 15-16 products, this was a true gamble even back then. I know folks who opened cases and cases only to get one Mcdavid base auto. I completely agree with your logic of singles versus boxes, but current product year prices are absolutely terrible indeed. Go for older if you want to have fun, stay away from current.
I had bought several boxes of this when it came out and couldn't pull even a base rookie McDavid. For the $1200+ he spent on this, he could have put it towards a rainbow auto of McDavid.
Hi Zeeree. I know the feeling. I bought a few 2015-16 Trilogy hobby boxes last year and got a whole lot of nothing. As you mentioned better off sticking to individual cards. That way you're actually getting what you want.
I love opening packs but with the way boxes are priced it’s not even worth buying them when you can buy an autograph of players like Lemieux, Orr, Crosby, ovechkin and many more elite players and legends for the same price or even less of some of the current box prices for years like 2018-19 where the bigger chase cards are worth less then the box itself. Your pretty much guaranteed to lose money at this point. That’s why I am just buying the cards I want until box prices become more reasonable for the value your getting out of them
After seeing those 3 boxes. I feel like I lucked out.... got the Mcdavid rookie and retro rookie in the same box and my auto was gretzky..... only opened the one box
Yea dude. I picked up two singles from this product the McDavid White Ice /199 and the Retro Gold Rainbow /149 both $100 like back in 2016 or 2017 and now they both have sold $1,100 range I jumped back into collecting cards cause of McDavid and can say I’m the like .01% where every thing they’ve grabbed has been profit. Watching this stuff makes me feel so grateful.
Zeeree, I am a 97 year old veteran of World War II but let me just say, you are the true hero of this country. Sacrificing your mind, body, and soul to open hockey cards on RUclips for the enjoyment of the masses warrants praise and worship. I am contacting some of my old friends at the Canadian parliament to order all flags be flown at half mast to commemorate your sacrifice in opening $1400 worth of O Pee Chee platinum and not pulling a $10,000 McDavid auto. Keep fighting the good fight my brother, you are a true saint!
Platinum is always brutal to me also. It seems really hard to pull the better rookies out of a box or two. I just bought the McDavid base off Ebay for 10.00 back in the day. Wish I would have bought more... Lol. Ty for sharing...
I broke cases and cases of this back when I was breaking in 2015..... you will usually only get 1 mcdavid auto out of like 48 boxes they are very tough pulls. Pulling Larkin + Ehlers auto + Fiala /15 out of 3 loose boxes is just about as good as it gets for this product, which is why in recent time when I could buy the boxes for 115$ I opted not to buy more, now at triple the price it is a hard pass for sure. Good Luck in your future boxes
Hoping you have some better McDavid luck soon Zeeree. If it’s any consolation prize, this was an awesome video to watch. Love your passion for the cards and your honesty. It’s refreshing to watch.
I wanted to say its not the destination but the journey we had these past 3 videos that matter... But I think the trip got derailed into a fiery inferno before we got to the end there.
You're brave my man, hopefully your luck turns one day. Just recently went hunting for Stutzle and Kaprisov Young Guns and let's just say the wife aint too happy.
Lol you are great Zeeree. Keep your head up. If it’s any consolation you made me laugh. R U sure those boxes weren’t searched? Not 1 single McDavid in 3 boxes. Wow.
Damn. I'm honestly surprised you're going for a half case of this year's SPA. This year is a good year to go for singles like you did for 16-17. The prices are outrageous for a box. Not to mention there won't be any young guns. I feel the boxes are going to be dull. At least platinum this year is at a good price.
5:28 Sabres fans want it too, free the capital for actual support. He hasn't done shit as a Captain. Don't know why we have him as C and not A.... He is not leadership -____- quite the opposite IMO.
Hey Zeeree, this is the set I collect. I've personally opened over 25 boxes and have only pulled one retro rainbow mcdavid and one Traxx Auto..... It's rough man.
There's something to be said about pulling a great card from a box or a pack, that being said, sometimes it's like playing with 🔥. Keep opening, and they will come.
If you're buying from an LCS, go and tell them they owe you the pick of your choice McDavid's in their shop. Impossible that you've never pulled even 1. My favourite set also. Much better front and back than UD. Be well!
I agree with you. The new boxes (SPX Allure ETC) do not interest me. Unlike yourself, I DO love upper deck series one and two. I collect canvas and young guns. I am sorry to say I'm priced out of SPA this year. SPA has been fun for the last two years but looks like it won't happen for me this year. 350 is just too much for me. I enjoy your videos and watch them all. I noticed your luck hasn't been that great but it'll make that next hit that much more enjoyable. -a fan in Boston
I feel your pain lol I was sick about a little UD tin I just ripped and got nothing but paid not top dollar but more then I would have. Heck I ripped a UD 15-16 2 and half years ago for only $25 and I stopped after the first box looking for a mcdcvid bc I was so mad i got nothing lol. I should of stocked up at 25 a box but I didn't expect this boom. It should probably all go away after everyone spends their covid checks and have no money left. Still entertaining to watch
You took a shot and you lost, thats part of the gamble. There are people in this world who dont even have clean water to drink. Opening sports cards is a luxury, dont forget that. Count the blessings you do have and move on.
Boxes are simply not worth it anymore. Any series, any product, any year has at best the ratio of value/price (over the print run) as lottery tickets.

I don’t even know how to word it, but acting like a child who just lost his best friend because you didn’t get a McDavid isn’t entertaining. Always watch your videos and I understand the frustration but c’mon
Stop buying boxes just to chase one player. Watching 8 minutes of a grown man pouting about not getting what he wants is just sad. Other channels are actually going through the packs and appreciating the cards even if they don't get their chase card or whatever. Hoping to see better from you zeeree
I'm done buying boxes I spent 200 on a box of 20-21 trilogy, got a nick Suzuki auto that I sold for $70.00. What's the point you only get a return on 1 out of every 10 boxes
@@theone456 we like to collect and put sets together but the cost is way too high. It’s like what happened to baseball and basketball. We will move onto a different hobby. Bought a case of series 2 at $135 a box and can buy the complete set right now for less than $450
For the sake of your sanity stop buying boxes, I enjoy the pickups just as much and you’re not miserable after those cause you get a card you actually want
Here's the problem & I put a video out about it on my channel .... the card industry is too much like a duopoly. Again look at the brands under upper deck, OPC, Parkhurst & etc. And how to they run those brands ... like they do there own name brand. Its honestly that & the fact peaple are looking at trading cards more as stock options then hobby items that have me turned off of it alots & more so .. the crazy pricing as well. Even decent crappy cards cost you $80/box on average.
The good thing is that you don't let this sort of thing bother you.
Now this, this is good.
Yeah of course he dont 🤣🤣

To be fair, he's had a pretty epicly bad run for some time now, highlighted by the master case of SPA. I'd be fed up by this point too.

How can you cherry pick a box when you dont know what’s inside?
Love how he knows that almost every box now will likely return 10% of the price point and gets salty when that exact thing happens
Yeah I decided a long time ago to just spend money on the individual cards I want. The thrill of the hunt just ain’t as powerful anymore

I literally can’t handle opening packs anymore. It’s almost always a losing game.
