One (6-Box) Case of The Cup

[bdiam]

First-off, with all of UD's new rules and "allotment requirements", this has proven to be the toughest Cup product to acquire since it came out - at least in terms of quantity. Thank goodness we still live in a society where people can be bribed

Second, how can Taylor Hall's RC (the most sought after in a premier issue) be a redemption? It shouldn't have happened.

Third, being the honest folks that UD are, the next (and larger) wave of Cup will be hitting the market towards the end of this week/early next week. Wholesale is already $60-$75 greater, meaning that if your LCS gets any, it will be selling at $450-$500/tin - so much for letting the market set the price.

Fourth - some absolutely loaded tins out there. Got to watch a friend crack 30-boxes last night and there are some doozies.

Fifth - I'll shut-up and show my pulls.

Before we began cracking last night, we joked (as we always do) about who was going to pull which card. I've never pulled a Property Of or even a Cut Autograph. I've been lucky to pull some shields from various years and even some RC's /99. I guess being greedy (since he's in such high demand), I called this exact card and in Pack #5, there it was - Holy Cr*p!


















A (2x) Color? - A (3x) Color?




Nope, just One






Black!














*Not looking to trade anything at this time. Thanks.

Best Subban RC in the set - every SUbban collector will be after you - congratulations!

What's really funny (ironic), is that due to the "issues" in getting product this year for the various people that I supply and myself, I had to get product from three different sources.

As it turns out, the case from which the Subban came from......came from Quebec!
