2013-14 SP Athentic Discussion Thread (Merge)

[centrehice]

UD making rumors to increase business shenanigans.

[IceRat]

I heard his FWA is pink

[joshpackham]

I would say trader trying to artificially raise the value of his card

[KingKuba]

They are everywhere. No shortages.

We have a few people that are very good at posting the latest news here. If this were an official statement made by Upper Deck it would 100% make its way on to these boards.

Because I have not seen it here, nor can the other member provide you the link .... I would say the informtation the other member is telling you is false.

While it is occasionally the case that SP Authentic Future Watch redemptions end up being available in very short quantities once the cards go live, that is a reflection of the lapse in time between release and the cards actually being released. Case in point: Tuukka Rask. Took years. Many people had given up and requested replacements.

Virtually nobody will be requesting a replacement for MacKinnon, and for all we know the cards could be in house but just missed the cutoff point.

I can't see there being any veracity to your friend's claim.

I do not see it 2 cases 2 Mackinnons FWA

Small sample size but they seem to be out there

[KingKuba]

All the good cases will have been cracked by then says sarcastic guy. You'll be a bit behind on eBay listings though so you might as well just build the set and write off the loss.

Even fresh listings....

Tyler Seguin Auto 1 in 8480 packs...$15
Tanner Pearson /999 $15
Granlund /999 $10
Dumba /100 3 color patch $13
Jack Campbell /75 auto $6


I think I got more for my YG's

I know there was a thread on here talking about print run , is it too high/low yadda yadda. Just want to give my opinions on it.

It is a waste of money in my eyes. Why you ask?
I pulled a tarasenko auto out of the product, one of the better autos that you can get beside mackinnon,yakupov. And I cant get over the fact that it only sells about for the price of 4-5 packs. I have mentioned ive never been a fan of the incredibly high print run of /999. Which is overkill. But please upper deck. If your going to make a price of a box so ridiculously high, please do something to off set the value of buying a box. All these buybacks dont help too. People dont want cards from other years. They are buying 13-14. Not 10-11 or 12-13. Dont pull an anthology (which I think is a way better product for the price). Rookies you made to /1299 will easily be found in 50 cent boxes in a year. DONT GET ME STARTED ON A POOP LOADS OF REDEMPTIONS TOO. How long did you have to make this product? Especially with delays? Leaving out people who deserve autographs instead putting the same people you know who dont want to sign on time instead. Horrible wont be buying anymore. Dont care how nice they look (which they do)
They only thing I think they did right was no putting a crosby autograph in. Its nice to see him not in a set. His autographs are becoming overproduced. Doesnt need one in every set. However it doesnt help you overload gretzky autos again. Put value in other cards except the hof

Due to the proliferation of individualized threads about SP Authentic I've merged everything into a single topic. Discuss away, folks.
