The Wrap-Up:
It's been a while since I broke a hockey box, and I was looking forward to this one. After opening it, however, I'm not really sure why.  From a recouping what I spent perspective, this box was pretty brutal. The dual patch sells for $15-20, and that's the best card pulled. I do really like Upper Deck's card designs better than their former competitors; but I wish they provided a little more value on a per-box basis. I'm also not a fan of the printed numbering on the back of the rookie auto jersey card, would it really cost that much more to foil stamp them on the front? And for that matter, why not number the base rookies too?

    From May-September 2016, I kept track of my breaks (both hobby and blasters).
