✨️ CONNOR BEDARD DAZZLES ✨️ IN 2023-24 UPPER DECK SERIES 2 HOCKEY RETAIL TINS ×2 BREAK  

UD does not directly set the prices for the retailers. It's the middle-men (the wholesale buyers) that we can mostly thank for this. A lot of accolades go to a certain $1MIL bounty offering supplier in the USA but most are unaware that they are also largely responsible for setting the market price at US$299/hobby box...Series 2 was initially offered at the exact same price as Series 1, yet it's a select few (thanks UD) that get the opportunity sell the new products on release day. In Canada there are really only 2 wholesalers that get the majority of the UD hobby products (Universal & Grosnor).

Your 100% correct man. Hopefully these idiot distributors are smart enough to realize that next year nobody is spending more than $130 per box of flagship or $230 for SPA. But something tells me they aren't. Not good. Those assholes are even holding back product and raising prices to the LCS. If this was baby formula there would be a federal investigation. Repeat of early 90s here we come sadly.

Fyi, walmart prices and tins are a fraction of everywhere else. Ive had several tins at $85 (cheaper instore than online walmart)

And I almost forgot - MCGING!! WHAT A PULL, ALL NAME TEAM LETS GO

It sold almost immediately from eBay to a certain someone with the last name McGing!

Love jean-luc's vids! Different and really interesting perspective on the hobby. Got me in to it!

@@standing0you sold it to MCGING???

@@jean-luc-bedard Dad or brother? Or just some wicked coincidence 🤔

Nice, I just spoke with someone who ripped all 12-tins in a case and come up with 0 YG's edit: #451 that is

You are like the fun uncle who is mildly inappropriate eh stay in school kids lol

Thanks.. only about 6 months ago I knew nothing at all of editing...will look into this...Cheers!

@standing0 Well you're doing a great job, enjoying watching your channel grow :) wish you even more success and hopefully the Bedard 1 of 1

Thanks for watching!

Agreed...its just ...but I don't want to miss a cool base card of a 'tenders Face Mask! That Skins is a sweet one!

It's a great product to rip or just sit on too but yeah, the price puts it out of reach for the most fun.

Crazy too that Wallyworld has/had the best price on these?!?

I've heard of 1 case busted that didn't have any but I'd be surprised if none of them produced.

exactly@@standing0

it's possible you saw it before I did

@@standing0 yes i did lol

Not on the website? I couldn't find any at my local Walmarts all week and none on website.

@@ClipMania01 sold out right now. It was in stock for a few hours. Might want to check your local store cos hobby shop are milking way to much the price.

@@vric Jesus ok because I did see the blasters in stock but wanted to wait for tins. I'm going again this weekend to see if they have. I know I am not buying any from hobby shops. I only got two tins from them but when they were 75$ each.

I paid more than that (only a wee bit) through a Hobby shop.

it's just Bedard...LOL
