$500 a pack is ludicrous for a product full of sticker autos and manufactured patches. If you didn't hit that Exquisite Bedard/99 you'd have turned $1000 in "boxes" into about $75 of singles.
Bedard should be relatively frequent in this product, given the narrow rookie checklist (as you mentioned). But, we will hear a lot of venom by those who gamble and get hurt, even though they don’t fall into this high-end UD market segment. I mean, I’ve always loved the design of BD, just like I might appreciate the design of a $5,000 Italian suit. This doesn’t mean I have any inclination to drop $5,000 on a suit. The fact is, even those who are consistently furious at UD still enter group breaks, and ultimately spend more than the price of a box. We know this firsthand. And if they do hit a card, they often immediately flip it, incurring further fees and taxes, least of which your margin. My thinking is, we as consumers have complete control over one thing only: our own lives. …Under the assumption we are actually in control of our lives.
If this product were a $5k Italian suit, it would be a $5k italian suit made out of the Zubaz material from the 90s. This products feels like its trying to be high end (price, card stock, diamonds) and for kids (over the top and leaning on fun for designs) all at once. This set has an identity issue IMO.
I get what you're saying here and I mostly agree... I buy singles and a few boxes of opc platinum once a year to scratch the itch... That's it. But a high end product should have high end cards and sticker autos at $500 a piece is tough. Your point is well made though... People need to understand the difference between buying cards (singles where you can be confident of current market value if you know what you are doing) and buying boxes which are just expensive fancy lottery scratch tickets
I find it kind of funny that Levi was drafted by the panthers... But on the draft day card he's in a Buffalo sweater. Quite the flub for such an expensive product #upperdeck
I’m getting so tired of not getting anything Bedard from these boxes. Bought countless series 2, extended series, and synergy and nothing. It’s almost as if upper deck sends these RUclipsrs the good boxes in knowing they’ll record pulling a Conor card so people think it will be easy and possible.
holy smokes, that bedard pull was crazy, imagine that was a higher ranked card, damn, always loved the diamond cards tbh. keep it up and hope u score big in later openings.

Really pathetic product for the price.
I have loved Black Diamond but the price is unbelievable.
Wow that's trash for the price. Bedard only reason u got any value out of 2 boxes
And it still wasn’t even profit on the two boxes
Agree this is getting ridiculous all cause one dude sp authentic is 250 and because of bedard it’s now 800 blame the hobby shops
90% of the boxes will be $50 in value
Still a big loss and you don’t get to keep the card 😂 or you take the 1000$ hit
Agreed. $100 a card is nuts. Who's going to open this besides RUclipsrs and gambling addicts?
Many those boxes were super rough for that price point except for 1 single card. That bedard is a huge hit, of course! Congratulations!

Crazy pricing on these packs. Good luck to all who buy them.
How do you sleeve cards so thick? I’ve never seen that before coming from mtg and pokemon
Very Nice looking Bedard, congratulations. I passed on this product and ordered spx. Thanks for sharing
spx is a terrible product
save your $ for platinum
High end hobby box prices are a big gamble. Paid off in this case!
$500 is a huge pass. Upper deck is just price gouging I’ll wait for singles to flood the market
Nice box!! i have two masters spots for tonight, hope its gonna pay for me
I find it kind of funny that Levi was drafted by the panthers... But on the draft day card he's in a Buffalo sweater. Quite the flub for such an expensive product #upperdeck
Thinking about getting into this hobby, I have never bought a box or trading card so I'm thinking of buying this box to start. What do you think??
Beauty Bedard pull there. Great looking card
Dang nice dude! The faber patch and kirill and boldy patch are my favorite.
Cool cards. My son would LOVE these! Thank you for the giveaway!!
Wonder if the price will ever go down
Love these cards!!!
Does it count as a high end product if it's mostly sticker autos
I'm still trying to get a Connor Bedard Young Guns.
