It sucks seeing your opinion on SPA being ruined by the retros zeeree, but you are exactly right. Such a shame. The only thing we can do as consumers is protest with our wallets, don't buy the garbage and eventually they'll wisen up!

[@staticontheout]

boycott breakers, let them suffer the useless product collecting dust on their shelf. thats why they hide a lotto ticket in the box so people will stay interested.

[@bradgavel9991]

Box and Case breakers like GP have ruined the hobby. I started saying this 10 years ago and everyone was like "Nah.." but here we are! Sp was the only product I've ever truly liked, and now it's garbage just like all the rest. UD doesn't even realize how pissed their customers are because the Case breakers buying 4-5 cases in release day, makes the product look like a hit to them when in reality nearly every single hobby store has so much overstock of garbage they can't sell due to the watered down products with massively inflated price tags. I've been collecting cards now for over 30 years, I've owned and run a hobby shop for 11 years, and Bedard is the only thing keeping me around for this final year of collecting before saying goodbye to the hobby, will be selling the shop as well, had enough of apologizing to customers for the prices and for the junk they are getting from boxes.

worst thing about is, is that the Owen Power out of 99 was probably the "case hit" too

Your channel is getting so hard to watch. All you do is complain! Stop buying if you’re so upset about what you get! Only in hockey can you get low numbered rookie autos and cry because it’s not a “true rookie”! If it’s a card of a rookie, then it’s a rookie card.

[@davismavis2834]

[@ClownTown15000]

You are part of why SP is like this. In your desire to make money from opening hockey cards, you drove up demand for the product, and Upper Deck had no choice but to either expand the number of FWAs, massively increase the price of the product, or leave millions of dollars on the table. But like you, they exist to make money. So, this is on you. Hope you got what you wanted.

[@BuriedFlame]

Must miss the sponsor ad at the beginning of each video. Content creator isn't paying for these boxes. The distributor gives them for free for exposure to possible customers.

[@zlevrangers1145]

I highly doubt Zeeree opens boxes to make money, in fact I bet he loses a ton of money. Opening boxes with the objective to "make money" is a really bad idea. He opens product for the fun of it and this product is no longer fun for him to open. I would bet he would've been happier with a regular FWA worth $20 than the Owen Power retro he pulled.

[@andythenerd3527]

Topps did something similar in the mid 2000's to Bowman baseball. One auto per box which has almost always been one chrome true first-year auto but for that short time they replaced some of them with sticker auto inserts. Absolutely get where you are coming from.

[@NexisReaver]

I actually like the look of that one retro fwa but I understand that what they did with it probably wasn't the best.

[@lukeciulla7325]

I wish they would make it were if you got a bad fwa you would get a good second auto or if you got a bad auto you would get a good FWA so you can at least be some what happen when you buy this product. Hopefully that makes sense

[@blackberryboldjeff]

Hard to believe when I got back into the hobby in 13-14 you got 3 auto's a box (at least 2 FWA's) and it was just a hair over $110 CAD; I never felt anxiety like buying a Mackinnon FWA redemption for $185...

[@cmano4591]

the fact that it’s $225 for a fwa that’s not even guaranteed to be a regular fwa is absurd. it should be guaranteed 1 and put retros on top of the regular fwa

[@elemeno0pee]

If regular FWA were guaranteed, Upper Deck would only be able to produce 99,990 boxes.

[@SnipeCityCards]

It was this last year too. I was shocked when you were pulling good hits cause our case had only 3 current year FWA last year. Had a few retros and junk names from 20-21 thrown in boxes as carry over. Didn’t even bother this year

Better to get older boxes now than new ones.
