Saw these on Target's website and was really considering buying a few - thanks for the breakdown of how UD made this product a mess. Keep up the awesome work, love your videos!
I AM SO HAPPY I started following you and GPsports to follow this "Lifestyle" I've been diligently listening, watching, and comparing... I am no pro yet, BUT I did just buy a bunch of stuff... FIRST REAL purchases's in YEARS... other than the box of un opened o Pee Chee 2008- 2009 tin for 7 bucks!! but I will make a video documenting "the PROCESS" of re starting card collecting and the ADDICTION which ensues!.... I literally bought 4 SP retail blasters from londong drugs for 36.99 each... then 2 hanger packs for 14.99, cleaned them out... THEN I bought 2 blasters of SP from a local hoppy shop 35 INCLUDING tax... DAMN way better deal at WALLY"S!! but from that BLASTER I PULLED a #d to 25 gold rookie auto!!!... stay tuned
We NEED someone like Panini to make a comeback to hockey or someone like Leaf or President's Choice to do something because more every year it gets clearer and clearer that Upper Deck knows they have ZERO competition and couldn't care less when it comes to quality control or this garbage. Pay $30.00 for glorified base cards and MAYBE one numbered card. Absolute joke
I agree competition would be good but please god not Panini. Look at how they are destroying the basketball and football market. AWFUL cards. Memorabilia patches that are not even associated to anything…
@@stevek6418 For me, it has come to the point where ripping is no longer feasible. Buying the exact cards i want on e bay is now the only smart option for me
@@jamesAkozallen agreed. Unfortunately, like many others, I got into the hobby during the boom and never had the opportunity to rip boxes at a fair price! Maybe one day…
Upper Deck has come to the point that they just do not care anymore! They're running a monopoly on licensed hockey products! I don't like unlicensed product. Looks cheap with no team logos. But we as consumers need UD to have competition! It's pitiful!
I don’t know how you keep doing it lol I had to stop making videos because of the prices on these products now and let alone the prices, quality control, diluted products and the quality of the pulls have all been dog water lol regardless I love watching your videos and hearing your unbiased opinions on them, keep up the great vids! 👍
I ALMOST ordered some of these from Target, but Zeeree hadn't opened any yet so I got 3 mega boxes of 21-22 series 2 flagship instead. Seems like I made the right choice. One of my "rookie die-cut" packs had BOTH red AND gold Seidor. I got some pretty good YGs too -Mercer, Lundell, Newhook, Podkolzin, & Sillinger. Not the Redwing dudes, but no stinkers either. Thanks for doing these videos. You save us a lot of $.
i pulled a Purple variant of the Ty Dellandrea out of a blaster but got butt all afterwards. Pretty sad product considering a few years ago it was half decent
coming back to this video after seeing these blasters for $15 canadian wondering what is in them and if its worth it and rewatching this video its all coming back to me like i watched this yesterday lol these videos are a great recourse when looking at products i might buy and open.
This is/was a cool product. I have always called it SPA light. Yup the tiniest piece on the jersey on the cards. With the number of parallels is high, I was hopp they were putting 3 or more per blaster but no. Fron what I read Artifacts is supposed to have 3 numbered cards per blaster but who knows now.
Haha!! Zeeree, welcome to my effin world. You have NO IDEA how hard it is to reconcile checklists, retail site blurbs, and box odds. On my deathbed I'm going to regret the time spent figuring this shizznit out.
I've bought about $500 worth and could easily resell the numbered & patches & gold foil etc and make it all back . Love his vids but you don't have to buy a $300 box to have fun collecting .
Bought a case. 3 patch cards. My numbered cards were all the same guys on different levels. 5 of one guy all numbered. Best part was it completed the set of rookies x2.
Bland card design but for $24.95 at a store near me (Toronto & Vaughan) I will try it. Looks like you get a lot of rookies. Also I can't afford to pay much more for a box of cards.
I guess it’s not saying much but this still blows series 1 21/22 out of the water. I suppose I got lucky with my two boxes I opened on my channel but I really enjoyed opening it. Opening wax is always a risk
Had a bunch at Target, new it would be hot garbage but I couldn’t resist buying one. Pulled Sorokin, Stutzle, and Norris but still didn’t pay for the blaster.
Maybe UD is tired of the secondary market dictating the value. You bums buying into breaks and trying to sell your hits for 300% is the reason the prices went up. Keep weeding out the “investors” and the hobby will go back to the collectors.
I am new to the Hobby but I don't think there should be any difference between Hobby and Retail Packs, as someone who isn't able to pick up Hobby boxes or packs very often its not as fun for me but I do still love opening packs.
Bought 3 of these at my local target pulled an Ian Mitchell jersey swatch & 3 numbered cards. red Bowen Byram 785/799 Silver Connor mc Michael 437/2299 & Silver Alexis lafreniere 539/2299. AND HELLA BLUE!
I wont be buying sp retail .. Look forward to it the last couple years too .. Sad they followed suit with topps and panini and exploding print runs .. Thanks for sharing
All of the manufacturers have issues, but Panini does such a better job with their retail products. Look at Mosaic Football from this year for example.
I rarely comment but I watch every video because I like vicariously opening packs through you. This product looks like straight up dog sh**. Jesus Upper Deck needs some competition. Edit: Decided to censor myself a bit because I know a lot of young kids watch you haha
I always laugh when I see people complain about cards #'d to 3000 or so. When I started collecting (shifts back in my rocking chair), I'd pull a 95-96 Donruss Dominators insert and be stoked it was #/5000!
I acknowledged your complaints on this product but i still think its a fun rip. Someone like me who cant spend the money on hobby can enjoy cracking a few open. A hot take for sure but i had more fun opening this than series 1 & 2. Disappointing knowing what it should have been but i think this crop of rookies makes it really fun to open. Beats pulling a no name young guns or a meme insert for the tenth time.
IF YOU’RE IN THIS “HOBBY” TO MAKE MONEY, YOU NEED TO WAKE UP. IF YOU BUY BOXES EXPECTING TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK YOU HAVE ZERO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS HOBBY. Better turn off the sportscard investor and all the other “influencers”. 😂 This guy is a collector. I respect that more than anything.
Highlight of the break for me was when you said “Blue Barrie”
Saw these on Target's website and was really considering buying a few - thanks for the breakdown of how UD made this product a mess. Keep up the awesome work, love your videos!
Small sample size in fairness
Me too. I got series 2 flagship instead. There's like 10-15 YGs that could end up being big cards and 3-4 that already are.

Yea paying 325.00 for one auto that they made 1000 of makes more sense….👀

If this is the deal with SP retail just imagine what artifacts will be 🤣🤣🤣(loud BURP)
✌🏼😎👍🏼
These cards are crap 💩
Artifacts has been out since 2020…..
Did you get any blue parallels? I couldn't tell :D

What’s the difference between sp authentic and sp
i pulled a Purple variant of the Ty Dellandrea out of a blaster but got butt all afterwards. Pretty sad product considering a few years ago it was half decent
coming back to this video after seeing these blasters for $15 canadian wondering what is in them and if its worth it and rewatching this video its all coming back to me like i watched this yesterday lol these videos are a great recourse when looking at products i might buy and open.
Bought a couple of these without looking at the checklist. I haven’t opened them and I’m already disappointed thank you Zeeree aha
Decided to grab a few hanger packs from Walmart... pulled a Authentic Signatures Jonathan Huberdeau! Stunned.
This is/was a cool product. I have always called it SPA light. Yup the tiniest piece on the jersey on the cards. With the number of parallels is high, I was hopp they were putting 3 or more per blaster but no.
Fron what I read Artifacts is supposed to have 3 numbered cards per blaster but who knows now.
I wish they really numbered all parallels but that is never going to happen.
That break just BLEW !
I pulled a Lafreniere jersey and Vanecek red from my one box. Figured I more than beat the odds with that and do not plan to buy anymore lol.
i bought 3 boxes, and no jerseys, no reds.
@@alphamale3643 Thats awful. Like I say I know I struck gold with mine. And I know when to walk away lol.
Haha!! Zeeree, welcome to my effin world. You have NO IDEA how hard it is to reconcile checklists, retail site blurbs, and box odds. On my deathbed I'm going to regret the time spent figuring this shizznit out.
UD dragging the hobby back to the 90s
truth
At least the serial numbered cards are stamped on. I have a cale makar serial numbered card that i pulled from this that was a sticker serial number.
You BLUE right thru those blasters...
If they watered flagship and SP retail down, wait until they release artifacts retail… Will be 1 pack and no hits for $30
Honestly I am happy with this product. Obviously years past was much better but I pulled a purple #/99 Norris so I was happy
I've bought about $500 worth and could easily resell the numbered & patches & gold foil etc and make it all back . Love his vids but you don't have to buy a $300 box to have fun collecting .
What have they done to SP!!
Upper Deck!?
Bought a case. 3 patch cards. My numbered cards were all the same guys on different levels. 5 of one guy all numbered.
Best part was it completed the set of rookies x2.
Being a sens fan seeing you pull all those sens rookies I want to buy them so much !
Bland card design but for $24.95 at a store near me (Toronto & Vaughan) I will try it. Looks like you get a lot of rookies. Also I can't afford to pay much more for a box of cards.
i bought 3, it was the biggest waste of money, I would have gotten more use out of the money if i burned it in a fire to make s'mores.
Thanks for taking one for the team. Skipping this one!
I just ordered 3 from Target in the states for 24.99-and after watching this video-that will be all.
I guess it’s not saying much but this still blows series 1 21/22 out of the water. I suppose I got lucky with my two boxes I opened on my channel but I really enjoyed opening it. Opening wax is always a risk
If you still have I need that Foudy /2299 Kurashev Jersey, Norris Jersey, hart AP /2299 putting together a set
When it's numbered to 2,299 is there really any reason to number them?
Young Guns are 80k and people still love them....
Opened one yesterday and got a Roman josi authentic profiles red idk the value
Only reason to get this product for me is getting a Stutzle and Norris and that's it lol. It's a shame this set isn't as great as it was before
Did someone say blue?
Had a bunch at Target, new it would be hot garbage but I couldn’t resist buying one. Pulled Sorokin, Stutzle, and Norris but still didn’t pay for the blaster.
Pulled a Green Sorokin out of 25 so was pretty pumped about that
This video in one word: BLUE
"I can't even really rub it!" LOL
That's what she said!
Where does this guy buy stuff because when I go to Canadian stores it is always more expensive
Heeeeyyyy Zeeree! Is there anywhere that you have a list of the FWA’s you need?
Great video and as always, cracking me up!! 😂
Maybe UD is tired of the secondary market dictating the value. You bums buying into breaks and trying to sell your hits for 300% is the reason the prices went up. Keep weeding out the “investors” and the hobby will go back to the collectors.
Where do you buy you’re boxes from?
Not gonna lie, this blaster is way better than Metal which was my go-to blaster at my LCS.
No beeping thing :(
I am new to the Hobby but I don't think there should be any difference between Hobby and Retail Packs, as someone who isn't able to pick up Hobby boxes or packs very often its not as fun for me but I do still love opening packs.
SP Blue Edition
Fantastic video and nice break
Anything numbered beyond 999 in my opinion is too much!
Lets go! Been hyped for your SP vid!
Title and thumbnail makes it seem like a video not to get hyped about 😂
lets see some more 2019-20 OPC Platinum before the next big price jump. Love what you do
Blu, Blu... so much Blue... :D
This is like what Panini did with basketball retail ‘chronicles’
Blue Balls watching this video...
Seems like Upper Deck blue their load on this products odds.
Reminds me of something I could get for $0.99 with any hot beverage purchase at my local Tim's
I dont think they ruined this rather they made these changes so as to keep the cost relatively the same as previous years.
“It’s so small you can’t even rub it” 😂😂
Today in Out of Context Theatre...
😝 that’s sick! This product is only good for base collectors like myself! 🤪
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Sometimes get better cards at Dollarama Suprise Packs
Sp retail is great , surprised you seem to disagree .
You payed off one box and a extra 1$
I bought 3 of those at Target, got home, opened them, and cried.
Bought 3 of these at my local target pulled an Ian Mitchell jersey swatch & 3 numbered cards. red Bowen Byram 785/799
Silver Connor mc Michael 437/2299 &
Silver Alexis lafreniere 539/2299.
AND HELLA BLUE!
Just opened one yesterday. Paid $9 more for a box of that than Series 2 and good God it was the single worst box of cards I ever bought.
Blueberry?
I wont be buying sp retail .. Look forward to it the last couple years too .. Sad they followed suit with topps and panini and exploding print runs .. Thanks for sharing
You could always grab the singles you want on the secondary market. I don’t think they’ll sell for all that much
So am I lucky I pulled a auto and a patch
Boy, that break...blue(blew).
All of the manufacturers have issues, but Panini does such a better job with their retail products. Look at Mosaic Football from this year for example.

I ripped 4 of these and my hits were 2-#2299 1-#1299 and a gold schmelvski auto
I rarely comment but I watch every video because I like vicariously opening packs through you. This product looks like straight up dog sh**. Jesus Upper Deck needs some competition.
Edit: Decided to censor myself a bit because I know a lot of young kids watch you haha
I’m doing the previous SP retails but not this one. There are way too many numbered cards. This might be an eBay flip at best.
"I can't even really rub it" - Zeeree 2022
Value = $1/pack
this product blue!!!
I always laugh when I see people complain about cards #'d to 3000 or so. When I started collecting (shifts back in my rocking chair), I'd pull a 95-96 Donruss Dominators insert and be stoked it was #/5000!
BLUE!!! Just like I feel after UD ruins another product.
Blue da ba dee...
“A lot of blue in this product”. - yeah, this product really blew.
Let’s go so awsome
I like that they added more parallels to the numbered cards but dont like that it's a lot harder to get jersey cards now
Not enough blue
Blue is my favourite color...i think this might be a product for me... Even tho it sucks :D
I gotta get some of this it’s cheep and affordable
I acknowledged your complaints on this product but i still think its a fun rip. Someone like me who cant spend the money on hobby can enjoy cracking a few open. A hot take for sure but i had more fun opening this than series 1 & 2. Disappointing knowing what it should have been but i think this crop of rookies makes it really fun to open. Beats pulling a no name young guns or a meme insert for the tenth time.
i bought one blaster today and pulled Tomas Hertl AP13 auto 1:3864
That blew
Blue Greasy!
I like the cards but the odds are terrible
Considering how terrible SP is, you got some good pulls.
Another good advertisement for buying singles and keeping the wax ripping to a minimum.
BLUE!
Upper deck needs competition in the hockey market. They’ve been releasing a lot of hot garbage
IF YOU’RE IN THIS “HOBBY” TO MAKE MONEY, YOU NEED TO WAKE UP. IF YOU BUY BOXES EXPECTING TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK YOU HAVE ZERO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS HOBBY. Better turn off the sportscard investor and all the other “influencers”. 😂
This guy is a collector. I respect that more than anything.
This video is brought to you by the color BLUE
You said it buddy: hostile.
Bluuuuuuuuwwwww!😂
Blue!!!!
You need to spend $1800 to get one auto...lol
330k numbered cards.
Blue...
