MAKE SENSE OF THIS FOR ME! – Opening 2 Boxes of 2022-23 Upper Deck Credentials Hockey Hobby



MAKE SENSE OF THIS FOR ME! – Opening 2 Boxes of 2022-23 Upper Deck Credentials Hockey Hobby

IM if Bard wasn’t coming 2223 oper credentials hockey featuring six cards per pack eight packs per box any even box 2223 credentials we should be expecting one autograph or non-auto acetate card so we’re not guaranteed an autograph in here I’ll tell you why it’s a big deal later one

Base parallel four debut ticket access cards which are horizontal ones now eight inserts which could be highly anticipated Andor start of the night and two Tech inserts not sure what that is but there’s that but before we get into today’s video this video is sponsored by GP sports card with Upper Deck

Credentials coming out this Wednesday January 31st GP has plenty of break options available including a 10 box case team select 10 box team random and a 20 box master case team select options for credentials as well as a cut mixer with credentials featuring a 10 of a cup

Five boxes of credentials and some GP mystery packs be sure to check out the other break options going on this Wednesday including a team select for ultimate artifact a hit select for SP authenic and a six box Master hit s for the cop also look to purchase sealed

Proc yourself check out to sports.com and be sure to call or email to purchase news/ upcoming products so thank you GP for sponsoring today’s video all link be description and let’s get into today’s break all right C where do I begin I’ll just start off by saying I don’t know

How to angle this in any sort of positive light these boxes cost $175 each I don’t know who’s in charge of pricing whether it’s Upper Deck distributors or dealers or a combination of them all it’s probably a combination of them all but this is Peak delusion

$170 for a hobby box in which you’re not guaranteed an autograph there’s a lot of filler sticker autographs I’ll get to that in a moment I’m having a hard time grasping it consider 2122 you can get it for like 55 bucks us or like $80 Canadian but what can you get in

Credentials well first off there’s a 200 card base set one through 100 being the normal base with they parallels and there is a 100 debut ticket access rookies they’re to 99 and there’s parallels to those as well new for this year there is horizontal debut ticket access cards AKA killer cards I mean

They’re just copying Panini like they always do but not sure why they’re over producing this I mean I’m not sure why this Pro exists in the first place if you’re water essentially credentials is Panini contenders but it’s been hit over the head with a mouth too many times I

Mean it serves a purpose of somewhere in between s SP authentic and platinum but you’re not guaranteed autographs which by the way that’s probably the best part of this Pro is the autographs the debut ticket access Autos there’s 31 on the checklist so there’s a bunch of names

Missing I mean it could be advantage in the long run I mean 15 16 Platinum out only 30 rookie autos and McDavid was one of them but just looking at everything like why does this product is this why is it $170 I don’t even know if this

Product is going to be worth it when it’s half this probably not I’m trying to be honest M I’m going to aggressively win ride OPG next week so cuz that product looks like it’s actually worthwhile this prodct just has no purpose hopefully there’s a purpose in here we’re looking to avoid the aate

Cards there’s 50 debut ticket access rookies there’s a 249 and then there’s acetate ticket access has vets there’s 30 of them to 149 hoping to avoid that and then there’s this new Bubble Hockey for pole the Vets are 1 and 320 the rookies are 1 and 200 so yeah let’s

Check out 22 23 credentials hopefully pole a rookie ticket Auto even though probably case hit these days so so yeah let’s check it out here I mean geez does nobody know that the hobby is down pretty aggressively and if it weren for Bard the market would be violently

Passing away like imagine a scenario where we didn’t have a Bard coming in here and upper deck was still trying to push this proc for this price like if this proc start like 100 bucks or less what it should be you’re not guarante autograph they probably more justifiable

The collectibility I don’t care for the horizontals is just fill of crap like usual it’s the Retros for credentials essentially it better not put in horizontal future watch a in the future but yeah let’s check out credential for 2223 got Landis scog there pretty much hasn’t played since then barely but

Still been out so that’s a 2022 cup win there and this is indeed a 2223 crop so a wet fart of a crop as well but here’s a Bas very similar to previous years there honestly don’t mind the base there’s hasm cadri so okay then we got

Tomas hurdle so we should be getting four tickets in here which oh here’s one of the new inserts highly anticipated Kane goalie these are every other pack not a bad looking card but I could see this in like an MVP pack or oh my gosh

We got an autograph there gez I just saw that uh it happens to be Kane gly so but first Everly and fox so first pack had an autograph the horizontal autograph debut ticket access there 93 of 99 for gly that’s a nice pull there says October 12th I’m assuming that’s his

Anchel debut but there you go I mean jeez why horizontal but King go that’s a good one there let’s continue on here should be getting four number cards in here Barelle Kopitar highly anticipated Matt Baldi and who another horizontal horile debut ticket access not numbered there it’s what what is that there like

Numbering oh my god there it is is $299 9.99 for boo imama there K not sure why I can see it on the other side but yeah got lat Tang vasileski again when this prodct is 80 bucks in 6 months I’ll probably pick up more then I can almost

Guarantee this product is going to free fall in price like just go get a box of PL you can get a box of pla for cheaper than this 2122 even if it’s aggressively out still going to be better there the k m TR Bon I mean SBA is less than 170 now

Canadians so I’ve seen SBA for like 125 bucks us even though with the Retro crap in that still way better than this headman start night like I’m trying not to be an aggressively hostile person at all times proc again op I’m going to be fairly high in that cuz it’s not going

To have a bunch of these greasy tactics but first star of the night Victor Hedman we got another look at that somebody just like dug their nail in that card there David your check where’s the numbering at back there yeah 299 so it’s another horizontal not going to get a vertical

There that’s a 299 so aggressively frecked up surface damage your check there K cubero granin every 22 23 products is definitely an afterthought once we get more 23 24 products the crop is fled it’s gone limp it has some really bad Ed but there the clayt Keller

The star Knight Rookie of Barber Jacky been in the HL but there’s star night third star I mean the set’s decent looking this year I’ll give him that there’s a vertical wow Casey Fitzgerald so debuted well over two years ago but there’s a numbering there 365 999 for

Casey Fitzgerald cake we got speed of the game another new insert there got like a racing theme there Matty bener cake gu Koz n off might need some of that Koozie and a jack eel okay n I’m more of a Pepsi guy all right second half of the box here for credentials I

Mean the set itself seems fine if they guarantee an on-card auto they might be able to justify that price point it’s still going to go down no matter what kenon might be a decent open at a cheap price Patrick Kane why is there horiz Auto card High anticipated Phil Bruce I

Know Lucas righta Autos in here he’s not part of the main rookie ticket all he has parallels though so weird there but there’s Ru that’s a nice looking card there doesn’t have to have four to be nice looking so there’s that the speed of the game like the inserts look nice

Mel there face is fine EAD Morgan Riley as long somebody didn’t dig their nail through it like it’s a nice looking set like I can see the Promise with this product but why would I open this if sp sp authentic and platinum exist I’m not sure what Niche this feels like

Parallels and rookie Autos there a lot of set with those barkov Gibson second star of the night brand Clark and this is orange there so many parallels jeez line a shle but yeah there’s an orange horizontal debut ticket access there Casey Visto again that’s 91 of 149 so

Two more packs here credentials jeez we got teraso Lee highly anticipated corac and here’s our numbered base rain Point orange to 149 I actually like to look at that there’s Point there’s a conne there and Mad showard Decent goalie name there debut ticket that’s horizontal cuz they’re all horizontal they $7.99 so

Okay and a fin pack for the first box so when this prodct is like 70 bucks or 80 bucks I’ll get more it will be tuck Capri off I mean when 23 24 stuff is in full swing like all this is going to be left in the dust second start of the

Night laugh maybe that’s why it’s so much to start off cuz you know this crap ain’t selling once Bard has stuff on the shelves like live stuff that’s next week There’s a coov green hey him and Mac for the Art Ross there quite the race that’s

5275 the green there okay cider and tar all right next box credentials price point can really alter the Viewpoint of a product if this product started at a reasonable price even like 120 Canadian it’s still kind of pushing it I would think it’s reasonable but this is is all

Just table set for 23 24 I personally feel 22 23 when it comes to crop over production quality control like this could be one of the worst years of all time so let’s continue on here we going get Auto in here or aate card uh this

Might be an autograph and it’s a jacket maybe I’ll save it yeah you know what let’s save it let’s be get swung on in the Walmart parking lot levels of hostile here as the top left pack of the last box autograph So based off of true experiences kic David Phil kessle hey

Phil for real nice I that nobody has signed him highly anticipated look sell Zach ha’s horizontal debut ticket there that is $9.99 K price next pack up here like again if this box were much cheaper I’d be much more receptive but it’s just way too much right now it’s comically

Too high at this point but third start of night kusco we got another Phil pruce he’s only played a few games for the Hawks this year looked it up after that series two break but that’s a 299 red horizontal we got a bordalo speed of the

Game and then connect The Insider I mean if that’s a rookie to go I know marchenko doesn’t have autos and I guess it could be eoch that would be the guy I’d be hoping for McKinnon Patrick Kane star of the night is that the second star there yeah Markov and Zan Chism new

Minnesota Wild there got claimed but that’s it’s a red debut ticket there to 299 I mean I prefer this design over last year here’s the past three years of tickets 2122 is too foiled out the other two years I don’t mind look at those those are nice looking cards so you

Don’t have to flashbag me with so much foil so I think that’s an adequate amount right there so there’s that then you got Riley lining let’s continue on here dolene Kyle Connor Marco Rossi anticipated another speed of the game Kan gly K stamp Coast Coffield let’s continue here barov Gibson Jacky highly

Anticipated and O the 99 Oilers blue base of hey there we go all right well Chely but yeah there you goes Conor McDavid 7 of 99 that’s nice right there nice to get a parallel McDavid any product also to go with him yeah James hlin horizontal ticket there it’s a no

$9.99 so yeah okay I mean I like to look at this product I can see the potential with it they guaranteed that on-card Auto in every box even if it had the horizontal cheese like it’d probably be a decent product Josh Norris Ronald riy I’m Not sure how many autographs are in the case but forof PR there’s a blue male right yeah but blue M 9.99 yeah horizontal Schwarz and oie I’m not a fan of horizontal I know pan is doing a lot of that this is a pretty aggressive copycat prod not that pan doesn’t copied

Upper Deck not that tops hasn’t copied Upper Deck they’ve copied each other extensively over the years but we have Shane Wright first star there K first star of the AHL then we got a kodok green debut ticket access the 25 low number to 25 they 1925 so there’s a

Kodok on the Sharks now got lat tang and vasileski all right here we go here is whatever the hit card is of the Box doesn’t seem to be acetate which is nice ran in which means it’s an autograph there’s huberto I know bfield has update ticket auts in here which is nice

There’s some other decent update auts in here berser on there’s EUR so hopefully Euro’s behind EUR that’ be nice uh nope blankenberg yeah Nick blankenberg hey at least it’s an on-card rookie Auto 16 of 299 for Nick blankenberg not the best of names there yeah there you go Nick blankenberg give

Ticket Access Auto onard auto two for two for the auto so can’t complain on that front so there’s that so yeah guys there’s two hobby boxes 22 23 credentials pretty great example of a product that’s definitely not that price correct it’s definitely going to go down

Price I mean when it does it seems to be an enjoyable break I don’t know why there’s so many horizontal cards in here just give me the proper base ones like here’s all our number cards like the vast majority of them are the filler horizont card that’s why these exist is

Just to produce more boxes and add more artificial value I don’t know if these are going to be collectible at all compared to these I mean these aren’t really collectible either so parallels are nice we did have some quality control issues there with that EO check there gez but apart from that wasn’t

Overly bad so yeah all in all not the worst thing price point definitely is bad when the stuff goes down it probably be testing open did go two for two for on-card Autos two defenseman there so yeah wait for a price drop or just go

Buy some SBA or platinum or go find some like 1819 or prior stuff that’s actually still pretty good but there you go there’s credential guys stay tuned for more breaks to come as always thanks for watching I’ll see you guys later

  1. Geez, I got to be honest, the cards look really good. There's just no chance that I would drop 175 bucks on a box right now that isn't 23-24

  2. 175$ for this is a joke. A bunch of filler inserts and maybe an auto if you’re lucky. I will not be buying a single box of this crap. So many better boxes for under 175$

  3. Upper Deck butchered this product with the 21/22 version, and then doubled down and put out basically the same garbage with the 22/23 version.

  4. The thing that bothers me the most, is the fact that the rookies are serial stamped on the back…WHY?!

  5. This product was better in 20/21 and 70 dollars cheaper. Zeeree, bro, you gotta stop supporting this company. Like, literally boycott this shit. It's not gonna change until the community physically stops lining their pockets. This is why I stopped buying UD a few years ago. It's just not worth it and you say it every.single. video.

  6. You see the ole' thumb nail mark on a lot of chrome/foil products. It's like the cards get caught on the roller and they still put them in anyway whether it's Topps, Panini or UD. $175/box is absurd

  7. With O-Pee-Chee, Fleer, Parkhurst & other brands UD has bought up … there is no exscuse for them to be putting out so many sets under there own name .. there not just wasting money .. but there flooding the market making everything " junkwax " … Do they own RJ Holdings as well too ? * grinz *

    REALLY hoping Fanatics can come out of the gate this or next year with product to put UD in check !!

  8. i paid 100 CAD for 21-22 taxes in and it was overpriced even at that price. This is what happens when Upper Deck has zero competition.

  9. Upper Deck really has FOMO when they made this and should be committed to the Contenders feel. Then again, nothing that UD will do to mimic Panini is going to work in the hockey market: the collector base is too crusty and not open to change

  10. If Upper Deck actually cared about the overall health and welfare of the hobby it would start cutting production and deleting some sets. This is another product that would not be missed whatsoever. I feel sorry for hobby shops that are forced to take all this junk at high prices in order to get their hands on the better stuff. It must be really difficult for hobby shops that do not do breaking as well.

  11. Great video as always, definitely agree the set looks good and the on card autos are a rare touch these days, but these prices man! The average person is absolutely screwed if they want to open a box. Over $300 for a box of series one? Does this ever correct itself?

  12. I appreciate your hostility. Group breakers won’t say anything because upper deck has them wrapped around their finger

  13. So I work at a sports card store in Canada. The price is essentially set by the 2 major licensed distributors. The cost on 21/22 and 22/23 hobby has been about 80-90% on retail price since the Bedard hype. So your friendly neighborhood LCS is paying $148-ish for a $170 box of 22/23 Ice that absolutely no one wants and will go down to $125 soon just so they can get Bedard hobby….seriously

  14. The only product that hasn’t gone up so drastically is artifacts…maybe because there aren’t live bedard cards wearing Chicago’s jersey…but for 22-23 and no bedard this product shouldn’t be more than 100$ looks like a fun rip but an easier pass
