Well Done Upper Deck

My only issue with this is how can a local card shop compete with an online one? They can't obviously. Sign of the times I guess but I enjoy going to an actual card shop. Will be hard for them to stay open I would think.

Right now it's a bit of a golden time for card stores. All the LOCs near me can't keep production the shelve and they've jacked up the price on the product they do have. It's not just sports cards either. Pokemon cards are going insane with prices. The LCS near me already survived largely based on Pokemon as it was. They had multiple game nights there a week, that would be full of kids.

I do agree that the future for physical card shops doesn't look great. At least many will get one last big payout from this current boom.

Coming out of a long hiatus from using this website to say that Upper Deck has been worse than terrible as of late, and even as someone who almost exclusively collected Young Guns, at this point I would not mind UD losing their license in favor of a new company.
Spending 50 CAD for a tin of hockey cards (9 packs and NO big card anymore), with only two guaranteed YGs, only to have 80 per of the cards with wonky corners and edges, it inexcusable.
