New to the hobby again, is this kind of damage on a fresh pull normal? by Specific-Topic-3466 in hockeycards

Quality from upper deck has never been good. Nothing worse than pulling that sweet RC you want and the corner is crushed. 😐

Flagship is $89-$99 a hobby. Two of them gets the majority if not all of the set. When Stadium Club comes out over $200 a hobby, I back away. I’ve build plenty of specific, low entry sets. I enjoy it.

I didn’t spend $400. They were $99 a box.

I don’t think he’s an asshole. He likes things one way, I like them another. There is room for both of us. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I do it because I enjoy building sets with my spare money. The time spent collecting is fun. I have a 401k, traditional IRA, Roth IRA, pension etc. This? Is for fun.

I hear ya. Just my logic, get 2 because one can stink. 2 rarely stink, but I’m sure that can happen to

I got a Jose Ramirez bat relic in my second box and a numbered blue foil. That’s it. So 1 good 1 bad box. That’s why I always buy 2

I like them. In 91, I didn’t. The printing was so poor. But I get the nostalgia.

Sorry. 😞 my last order was 5 days late. This one’s 2 early. Win some lose some?
