Let's do a 2006 UD EPIC Baseball Case Break!!!
With only 2 players, Topps and Upper Deck in baseball this year, let's compare their Inaugural products of 2006.
I think Topps clearly has Upper Deck beat with what you are promised or guanteed per box or case. Epic you not really guanteed anything special not even auto in a box or really even a case, "1 Epic Endors-ments signature #'d to 30 per case on average!". But lets see how this plays out.
We had so much fun with the 2006 Topps Triple Threads case break, back when it came out, Let's bust a case of Upper Deck new product, Epic. I picked up a case of this for $1440 at the show. Packs was going for $50, boxes at $195. Let's see how this case stacks up with the case we did of Topps new stuff for 2006 Triple Threads. I been told this Epic is loaded, too so lets find out, I plan on opening a box a day, like we did with the Triple, only 8 boxes in a case.
Replay of our Topps Triple Case break is here:

tutall,
I'm not sure what I'll do with singles, but If you send me a self address envelope with top loader, I'll let you have the Jon Garland.
sivjosh,
I agree very nice looking cards.
andrewcstein,
All Vladdy I send to a big fan of, but it I get any David Wright's, I'll keep you in mind. I did trade away a David Wright UD portrait auto, if you interested PM me and I'll get you his info.
Trains975 ,
If you send me a self address envelope with top loader, I'll let you have one of them and if no one request the other one I'll send you both.
kartel,
If you send me a self address envelope with a couple top loader, I'll send you a Mantle insert from triples and a reg. Mantle from Topps style. Most of the Yankees stay home but you welcome to these doubles, if you need them.
meuandthelot,
I'll look and see if I have your PM, but I only opened one box of co signers, but if I have the ones you want they yours. I'll check my PM's and I'm apologize for the delay.
Box two:
Nothing loaded about this one, maybe tomorrow. But did get a Yankee for the personal collection, all the other is for trade. I bust cases to show how a case plays out. Box breaks serves a purpose and I feel a case break can be just as beneficial to the interested readers. But remember there can be good breaks and disappointing breaks.
Regular set cards /450:
Conor Jackson Rookie
Adam Wainwright Rookie
Jeff Conine
Joey Gathright
Jake Peavy
Kyle Lohse
Doug Miektkiewtcz
Epic Event insert /675:
Biggio
Ryan Howard
Griffey
Game Used:
Clemens pants16/40 (keeper)
Morgan jersey 054/145
