    Talking Black or ultimate?

    Good morning everyone so I want to get one more case of hockey and the two that are coming out that I would like are upper deck black and ultimate collection. But I can only get one or I get thrown out of my house LOL. So I was wondering which one would have the better value the four box case of black? Or the five box case of ultimate the black is $200 less than the ultimate but if I'm going to get one I figured I would get the one with the best bang for the buck. I know this sounds like a stupid question but I always like the ideas of the collectors

    Ultimate has gone down hill. Black is new but I'm guessing the cards will be stunning. Also I think a much better chance for bigger hits. I would go with black 100% of the time.

    Why not Premier?

    Of the two, go with Black. Ultimate is going to be shared on e-Pack this year which means that inevitably certain key hits will not be available through the physical format.

    Black. Ultimate value will be watered down after it gets flooded on comc.

    I'd go with Ultimate, it has better rookies.

    ^ This.

    But since its not an option and the choices are Black or Ultimate I'm taking a shot on Black. Beautiful cards and it will be a fresh release that hasn't been out for a while while Ultimate has been getting worse and worse over the years.
