2015-16 Upper Deck Buybacks Checklist

[notoriousrob101]

Upper Deck has permission to have an exclusive Buy-Back product this year. Like two companies being allowed to have very similar sets and sub-sets the same year. Upper Deck is filling the void of not having both ITG and Leaf buying back their products this year and re-releasing them. An exclusive buy-back release though is immoral to me an obvious cash-grab in an ever-sinking economy. Well done once again, Upper Deck. Well done.

Of course, it's my vices that make me want a few of these cards.

I bought a Leaf Best of Hockey 01-02 Jersey Auto /50 Steve Yzerman (encased, no 1/1 stamp) for $42. Sold it for $160. As much as I would love to have kept that card sometimes you cannot ignore a profit margin like that. It sickens me that ITG or Leaf buy backs can consistently go for so little but when Upper Deck does it the cards will go for exponentially more in some cases.

October 28th. Upper Deck - License to Shill. Coming to an LCS near you!

Do you think before you post?

- Upper Deck Buy Backs are a cash grab
- I bought Leaf Buy Backs
- I sold my Buy Back for a profit
- UD cards are worth more than Leaf/ITG

This may be the greatest thing I have ever read on this forum.

Some days you just needn't try so hard to convince us because there's nothing in it for you :D

I don't need to convince anyone of anything, but you've convinced me of something. :)

How do you value these buybacks/confirm they are the real deal? I have a someone offesring me a 2012-13 Fleer Retro 97-98 Metal Universe 25 Nicklas Lidstrom Detroit Red Wings Auto 1/2, but how do I know it was actually part of the buyback and not a in person signing that they asked to be inscribed that way?

There should be a COA with it.

I'll use this eBay auction as an example:

Since this thread has been brought back up again, has anyone heard rumblings of a 2016-2017 BuyBacks product yet? I would suspect a product like this is hard to scrounge together, so may we can expect a hold over until 2017-2018 BuyBack product?

I thought they said it was really expensive to produce and probably won't be doing it again? I don't have a quote/link, just from what I read around on the forums about it.

Yeah, I could see that being probable. Wouldn't surprise me.

IMO its better if they dont do this every year. Not even every few years. Maybe like twice a decade kinda thing.

They cant put the same Buybacked cards out ( or shouldnt or they would kill the values ) and they do use a ton of cards in this seeing as nothing is over xx/91 I believe. Cards that would not really take as much of a hit are the non auto rookie cards, but once you have a Tavares Buyback YG /91, theres no way UD would be dumb enough to put another round of /91 Tavares YGs out.

That being said, there are a ton more YGs to choose from.
