UD Redemptions + Replacements when 3 beats 5 !!!!

FED EX came knocking today with a package from our friends at Upper Deck. Many weeks ago I got tired of waiting on five redemption cards so I asked UD to replace them. UD asked me what players or teams I would be interested in? I gave them one player and since I have about all the Dallas Stars I wanted them, I said the name of a team that over the past couple has been pretty good. Beyond pretty good. Reason I did that was thinking maybe I might get a good auto.

I knew what three cards in the package would be as I checked and the MacKinnon Retro and Moments cards were finally signed. Also noted was my black leather Tavares was in as well.

So here are those three cards. The retro auto is somewhat hard to see:

And now to the replacements:

What was "traded in / replaced"

2 Retro SPA Tarasenko auto
Showcase Granlund RPA
SPX Pastrnak auto
Trilogy Monahan auto puck

So for these five cards I got these three

For me 3 beats 5 all day !!!!

I had mentioned the Blackhawks based on their recent playoff runs

And finally I had asked if UD had an extra Orr auto

These replacements may be from many years ago but for this collector, still a big thrill

These three beat the five redemptions in my opinion.

Thanks Upper Deck, job well done!!!!!
