Series 2 Box Prices

[Mattaphysics]

I must say, if your flagship product, that should be the cheapest and best way to get ppl into your product, is $350 that's a problem. When you need to raise your price of your product, then another 100% almost it's absolutely absurd. You need to rethink your strategy, maybe make it more affordable. It's a travesty to see this, because of one rookie... It's sad to see.. Avarice has infected all card company's now so every chance they get.

@Mattaphysics From a collector's standpoint, you are 100% correct. But the business of businesses is doing business. Their sole strategy is to make money, and they're making it hand over first with these 2023.24 releases.

There's plenty of products out there that are cheaper

Did you ever think that the distributors are the ones raising the price and not UD. If you can get lucky enough to find it in the retail store the price is not inflated.

People that did the pre-order are the ones that lucked out,

UD doesn't set the price for hobby shops. UD sells to a handful of distributors, then it gets sold to stores. STOP SAYING UPPER DECK RAISED IT 200-300% because they didn't. It just ended up that way because people want Bedard and the distributors are taking advantage.

At least, there are retail options. I pulled a Bedard YG out of a Walmart mega box, about 70Cad taxes in. I also bought a tin for about 100Cad, I'll probably open it too out of curiosity. From there, I won't touch much 23-24 products, probably a blaster of Platinum and maybe one blaster of Allure and Parkhurst Champions. Outside of a few top names, singles are hard to sell at the moment, I don't know if it's the state of the economy, the Bedardmania, or an oversaturation from all the breaks since Covid.
