OT: Hockey Cards and e-Pack

[Kcb12345]

Done with the achievement...gonna redeem em now

 

[Kcb12345]

Got a Vitek Vanecek /25 for the black auto. Bleh not great but could've been much worse as well. Was hoping for a lower numbered one at least. Seems Vanecek has some value though as it's looking like he's the Caps future starter

Gonna see if I can get enough to go for it again. Fun having an objective in this lol I've never focused on achievements before

Vanecek cards are actually hot right now.. I've got a base auto and it sells for like $40

Finally traded my way to a Kivi rainbow YG

Whats your username?

I just added you. Currently jealous of your collection.

Y'all are making it hard to not throw down on a box or two like I did back in Heiskanen's rookie year (which you could probably tell if you look at my collection, lol). Haven't done many trades since then.

Ended up moving 7 JRob ygs for this bad boy. I can't believe they're over $25 CAD now. I got all of mine for like $1 or $2 when UDS1 first came out.

You just can't stop winning rn

Sick card. Someone gave me the JRob version of that card along with 4 synergy inserts I needed for just 2 of mine that were like their last ones they needed lol

I'm very tempted to get a full synergy set for the auto achievement and then trade it, but there's no fun in that really. I'm 4 away from my 2nd one.

 

[Kcb12345]

Literally half the people in the chat are just looking for JRob ygs lmao

There's a reason why I'm ePacks #1 advocate. Doing this with physical hockey cards would be near impossible unless you attend card shows.

Yeah I see you grinding it out! Hopefully you get a good one, my 4th try was Nic Beaudin /10. My brother has had brutal luck today and hit 4 scrubs lol

 

[Satan]

JRobs have sold for 40+ cad on eBay tonight. There's a lot of people FOMOing into him now.

Man that's the worst. It's such a damn grind too. And ikr haha I've been at it all day just for 2 autos (still 2 cards away from the 2nd one)

 

[Kcb12345]

Finished my 2nd one.

Got Brock Boeser /5. Meh at least it's low numbered and not a garbage player but still nothing too exciting. Trade bait for me as it should be popular amongst Canucks fans

So I opened some packs this weekend and I don’t fully understand everything that I got. I opened some packs for the Parkhurst set and got a “1 star” which is just a card that says 1 star on each side but had a flashing red background. I figure it must be something significant even if mildly. I also got a Lafreniere /749 from the Synergy set that I imagine I should have shipped to me? But I haven’t collected cards in over a decade. I guess it requires some coaching nowadays. There’s no real explanation of what some of these things mean. What’s a 10x or 50x multiplier?

 

[Satan]

Saw this card on Facebook and I had to have it- ended up settling at $100 cad. Condition on these are brutal because of the black borders but whatever.

Thinking I can flip it on eBay for at least $200 cad since a Sorokin sold for $250 USD.

The 1-2-3 Stars from Parkhurst were used for an achievement, I think you had to combine 15 stars and you got an autographed card.

Parkhurst 10x multipliers are explained here, Upper Deck e-Pack

Basically if you get 100 of the bronzes you can combine them and get a gold(?) colored card. I don't really follow the Parkhurst market but most of those cards are pretty cheap. Read the first couple pages for some good background posts. @Kcb12345 seems to have gotten the hang of ePack pretty quickly and he's been grinding out trades. It's hard to make profit or get cards you want on there without grinding.

Not sure I'm making a profit (almost definitely not lol) but definitely coming out with cards I want haha

 

[Kcb12345]

Did the achievement again and another bleh. Trevor Linden /5 this time

Don't know anything about him really that's why I said bleh. Haven't been around long enough lol. On the bright side, looks like he's worth more than Boeser

Probably gonna trade him for a full set + more and go for it again lol.

 

[Kcb12345]

Maybe I was wrong about the Linden lol, getting some great offers for him

 

[Kcb12345]

My newest e-pack trade acquisition....think I can chill on e-pack for a while now

 

[Satan]

That's a boomer

 

[Kcb12345]

Gonna finally stop spending all day trying to collect all those damn synergy inserts lol

Hell ya lets f***ing gooo lol. Now all 3 JRobs that have been pulled are owned by Stars fans it appears. How it should be. Your card looks like it's in damn good shape too

What Suzuki was it?
