UC = 4 cards = $100
Prime = 8 cards =$200

If you do research every team is bad value except buffalo.

Not true, but alright if you believe so.

Watching some individual box breaks on CnC now.... $10 value is stretching it for some of them....
Lot of white jerseys too.

Be like 1% big hit and rest junk.

Scared for my breaks today.

Can't do as bad as the last buffalo guy...

Would someone be so kind to post the checklist up? I can't seem to find it online. Thanks!

There is no box that is a "steal" on release day.

Hey JJ!

How have you been? I put this up on my site last week in Excel: http://rydlar99.com/?p=12210

I was in 7 case breaks late last night. Instead of buying a case of Ultimate like i usually do i went for four teams in six cases of team select and 4 spots in a random draft.
The random i was in was extremely weak but still had an O'Reilly and Gibson rookies /99.
From the other cases i ended up with /99 rookies Barkov , Galchenyuk , Monahan and MacKinnon.
Also had a nice Galchenyuk ice premieres /10 pulled for me , MacKinnon masterpiece auto , MacKinnon auto X 2 , Monahan auto , Theo Fluery masterpiece auto and 97 Legends Theo.
A couple of nice cards i did not win were a Dumba ice premieres /10 and Jensen shield 1/1
UD Ultimate has always been a hit or miss product.
If you are only buying one box or one team in a group break you are likely to be disappointed in the results.
I remember the last case i opened 11/12 Ultimate seeing the patch /25 Oilers colors AND Leonart Pettrell /25 :(
Did pull the Nuge /25 3 colors 4 breaks from 5 loose packs though :)

If you were in 7 case breaks and had Habs, Avs. flames and Panthers, in 6 of them, I should hope you'd have some nice hits. Lol. Seems like you did pretty well, depending on how much you spent I guess. 3 Mack autos and the Galchenyuk should fetch a penny or two on the ol eBay. Would love to see your hits in the show and tell once you receive them:). Congrats.

Well actually i have not posted a show and tell thread on this site for a long time. I would have to check when my last show and tell thread was here.Sometime in 2013 i believe i think December.
I had quite a few views (around 250+) i think and very few comments ( seems to be the tread in show and tell threads) so i have stopped posting show and tell threads here altogether.
This site may be in the top few numbers wise for members but bigger is not always better.

What teams you think are good for $50 and under?

I don't really give out recommendations for teams in breaks, but it doesn't always have to be a cheap team to deliver best potential bang for the buck. Though it might be in this case.

All the data is there, just have to look through it, count up those that you consider real hits (example, I don't count anything with a print run over /100 when doing this type of analysis). Then divide by cost of the team, and figure out which ones seem to cost the least on a $/hit basis, taking into consideration things like resale value, etc. It's work, but those who do it can get a bit of an edge.

Thanks. I already did that. Buffalo #1.
