[@cacsports]

I love that Nelson YG Exclusives

[@jamiepike6909]

Love that BN YG,. PC him so will be looking out for one of those😎

[@ItsUsAgain]

Congrats on the Exclusive! I think those Renewed look really cool. The look of the base is very reminiscent of the 90s Leaf #dryden

[@mirorbreaks8721]

Flagship looking good. Nature is starting to heal with 23-24 heading towards the rearview lol. Can't wait to crack my boxes of this. Awesome box you had! #dryden

[@stevekay6895]

Crazy to think that Bedard is just a “Base Card” now…guess there’s always gonna be a next guy

[@mitchadorante9680]

Nice rip, i think the set looks good, im not as sure on the retro ygs could confuse some people #dryden

[@bigboy9706]

Nice looking cards this year. #Dryden

[@mitchadorante9680]

I heard SSP 19-20 and 21-22 retros are in there I've not seen one

[@Fultoncards]

As I mentioned, they are not really retros. They are tribute Young Guns. They are rare SSP, i.e. with low print runs. They include a 15/16 McDavid and 19/20 Suzuki etc. Young Guns Outburst.

#dryden another great one 1️⃣

[@LennoxMatt1]

At least we are past the Bedard tax #dryden

[@douglashutton7655]

Nice box #dryden

[@RetepElpmet]

I've never been a big fan of the flagship. There's just always something a bit lacking every year. I'd like to see them add autos or mem cards perhaps and cut down on some of the inserts. #Dryden

[@Fultoncards]

Well. For what it's worth. It is one of the few non-auto products in the entire hobby. Almost every other product other than base OPC and MVP are rooted in chasing autos. UDS's entire premise and origin is non-auto Young Guns. UDS did try autos and mems for years, and they essentially had zero secondary market interest or appeal. UDS has had some rare SSP Snow Spray and Canvas autos, but really as easter eggs. Many collectors have appreciated UD introducing the Young Guns Outburst, as that synchs with the UDS core identity. I get it if a non-auto product is not your thing. But, I personally would like to see collectors embrace the different stratifications of the hobby, and value certain non-auto RCs, such as Precious Metal Gems, UD Ice Premieres, etc. To me the issue with UDS isn't the lack of autos (note the Jake Allen in the background is a 15/16 UDS2 auto). It's the mass printing of Young Guns. I don't mind creating YG Renewed or YG Retros, as thy again underscores the raison d'etre of the product.

[@Ps5Gaming9213]

Is there a numbered card in every hobby box ? That’s how you made it sound but I don’t have a numbered card anywhere in sight from mine.

[@Fultoncards]

UD Series guarantees a "wildcard" card. They are either a numbered card (including printing plate 1/1) or a short-print ratio card, i.e. a non numbered card with difficult or case hit type odds.

[@CatsCardsandCollectibles]

nice

#DRYDEN GOOD LUCK

[@johntaric6699]

It makes me laugh how so many people dont know what `tribute`means. Its retro

[@Fultoncards]

Well, strictly speaking the term "tribute" simply implies a commemorative card, often a reissue of a cherished RC. And a retro is a prior design being reused for current players. But, different card companies (and third parties) define the terms differently. My firm belief - having collected for 50 years - is there is no right or wrong usage, as collectors themselves build out the hobby. UD and Topps' checklists themselves contradict their own usage. ...But it's like language more broadly. British English is no more real than American English. Common usage just evolves over time.
