Upper Deck latest release for 2015-2016 Buyback hockey

[bradenl]

So just going through twitter this afternoon and came across this interesting tweet saying upper deck has announced for the 2015-2016 season their gonna have for the first time a Buyback set. Here is a link to the YouTube video. Think it would be decent especially for autograph seekers. Theirs gonna be 3 boxes per case , 5 packs per box and 2 cards per pack. Right now they have it listed as one autograph Buyback per pack. Have a look for yourself. Enjoy!

I think this could do very well. First its a way without having to come up with more ideas and most likely they wont have to print any cards as they are leftovers. Saves UD some $.

I think it could do well because those autod YGs are going to be huge sellers. It seems to be low printed and not a whole lot made. Assuming the release price isn't crazy then this may be a product to watch.

"Hey, let's take some of those extra cards we produced and didn't distribute ("we can call em 'Buybacks' so it sounds like we actually spent some money on these"), get some of them signed, and then we can charge premium prices for a "new" product that wont cost us anything. We'll "number" the unsigned ones to make them "SPs", so "every card will be a hit!" so we can sell a "case" of 30 cards for $1,000!"

Yawn. You can find dozens of 25th anniversary "numbered buybacks" on EBay for less than $5. I'll let someone else pay $100 for his signed Bobby Robbins YG...

They probably still have a ton of Glen Murray Jerseys and George Laraque Auto stickers to unload.

Members on other sites have already confirmed UD employees buying certain cards at the previous Expo. I'm sure that it's a little Column A, a little Column B. They most assuredly have costs in this product, some may be old outlays, others will be more recent purchases.

This product has already been confirmed, in the video actually, that it will be 100% hard-signed content. Mercifully, no Laraque stickers!

Just stop UD...make some good cards that people actually want for once.

Buybacks are so played out and forgers dream long term..
Good thing no one cares about hockey or China would be printing 100000000 YG's. ..

UD is getting desperate. ..mcdavid just keeping that thin string alive for a few more years....

Ain't hard to make cards....just copy some old basketball /football designs from the past...

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

That's exactly what they did. Good business? Yes. Those # Buybacks are not rookie cards. The Rookie YGs will sell for a good bit. If they have one of Olli Maatta, Pouliot, Bennett, Malkin, Sid, Letang, ect.. Im going to want them. There are going to be nice cards in there.

Thank You very much for explaining why they made this product.
