Just watched a friend crack (8) cases tonight (he expressed them out) and for all the talk of UD "loading-up" cases - forget it!

Just like every other year, UD has remained consistent - (ie) you can either get a "great" case or a "brutal" case and not much in between.

In the case of my friend's (8) cases: (3) were unbelievably strong (3) were absolutely pathetic and (2) were ordinary - depending if you like certain players.

Whoever is doing the pack-outs at UD must still think that a nice RC "Plate" and a Crosby autograph make a strong case - not!

Personally, I feel for the average collector walking into a store to buy their one box. Yes, they may get lucky but more often then not, they will get slaughtered. At least those who can afford an entire case, are assured of something.

No Gagne's this year for the first time in a while, so I'll be watching instead of chasing.

Doing the math there's no way this year is more SP.... Also did he get any rookie evolutions?

What exactly are the Rookie Evolution cards?

What exactly are the Rookie Evolution cards?

They look like they are a redemption for a video card. UD has done this before as well as Panini.

This is one example, but it doesn't show the video screen. I'm trying to find a better picture.

A person on another forum just posted this, I think people will find it interesting:

found this on other site thought i share this.. seems loaded and not cut back like some rumors said before.. roughly 14,352 tins and 2392 cases wow.




Upon the checklist being released, I went hard at work crunching some numbers for The Cup... Some more shocking than others. I'll add more tomorrow with teams and such, but I must say... There are a ton of cards. We can safely put to rest that this year, baring more than 5 cards a tin, this is not as shortprinted as previous years, but instead has the most cards with the additions of the SPA Extended Series adding 4 more plates per rookie, the new rookie tags and rookie black autos /5, and update cards. Also, without a print run on the Rookie Evolutions (probably video cards), I went ahead and Guess-timated the print run at 25 per card because it seems the closest. Anyways, without further ado, here are the first numbers I crunched out:


Total Cards Assuming Rookie Evolutions /25: 86,111
Total 1/1s NOT including plates: 541
Total 1/1s Including Plates: 3,973
Total Shields: 176
Total Property Ofs: 53


Assuming there are 6 cards per tin in every tin (No decoys making it 5 cards), the lowest amount of tins produced is: 14,352
Divide this by 6 and the amount of cases you have is 2,392. That's the lowest possible amount. If there are decoys it will be much higher.


Odds of getting a 1/1 (No Plates):
This is assuming you get 2 base per tin and 1 rookie patch auto, leaving the other 3 hits undetermined: 1.44%, in other words 14 tins in 1000 will carry a true 1/1 (Shield, Property of, Base Tag /1, Base /1, Rookies /1, randoms /1, Cuts /1)


Odds of getting a 1/1 (With Plates): 10.6%.
That's right, including plates, less than every 10 tins will contain a 1/1.
