Nice auto and good Guentzal hit. Is that all you got? 2 rcs, a gu and an auto? That is kind of weak in my opinion, not your break, but just the lack of goodies as this is a mid range product, right? Won't be buying any of that based on those results. Yuck!

They dropped the price significantly from last year, but also you get 2 less packs. I don't think I'll buy another, but I wanted to take a shot on one box. I paid $90 for this box, they're listed at $100. The Guentzel and the JR made it a pretty good box, but if Guentzel wasn't in such high demand right now, I'd be really off-put by this box. The way I look at it, getting half your value back makes a box respectable. It is gambling after all and I don't mind paying for the entertainment. I really don't like any UD stuff this year to be honest. I love opening boxes, but have yet to find a product that I feel is good value. I am tempted to get older discounted boxes online, but I don't like waiting for shipping. There's something to be said about holding the box and choosing it and getting to open it right away. I know I should just buy singles, but that's way less fun. What do you guys think/how do you look at evaluating a product?

Less for more, used to be a few years ago you got an S1 or S2 box for $63 on initial release/presell with 2 gu, 6 ygs, and a chance at a case hit. Now it is like $87 a box for 6 ygs and a chance at a gu and case hit. Other products now have the "manufactured" hits, that just aren't of interest to me. Not sure what to make of the future.

QUOTE(aceecards @ May 1 2017, 06:19 AM) It is scary isnt it! nice box my friend that jr is a sweet graph . hold on to that Penguin that kid has some mad skills! Thanks! He does look like a pretty good player. Of course having Sid as a linemate can't hurt... QUOTE(geschrocks33 @ May 1 2017, 07:10 AM) Could've been 100 times worse, Guentzel is the perfect card to hit right now, and Roenick is a decent auto Definitely happy with this particular box! But if Guentzel was just the usual /1299 whozit, the feeling changes drastically. More just reflecting on opening products in general. It's not the most financially prudent way to go, but it is the most fun I think!
