NOTES:

I’ve been deriding the Upper Deck Epack system for sometime, but my largest and almost singular complaint is the cost- especially considering the cost of an Epack is more than a physical card pack and has less or the same amount of cards. Then there’s the added cost of ordering the physical cards… and the wait.

That being said I found something totally fun about it: Trading. I just wish that the community was more active. I’ve been actively after putting together a set to upgrade it to a parallel autograph, slowly whittling it down to the final 10 or so. As I’ve done so, I’ve discovered so many zombie accounts. I’ll put out a fair trade and just sit there and wait… and wait… and wait… and get no response.

I got a few horse trades down with another collector, and so he just threw this one out there for 10 cards. Knowing I am a Brahmas fan and the fact I hadn’t pulled this one yet intrigued me. All of the cards were digital and none really impacted my bottom line, so I went for the deal and scratched Delontae off the list without even going to a game.

Later I figured out I could redeem a set of white cards for an actual printing plate. Silly me, I could’ve done it twice over but I kept ordering the physical cards out. Anyway, lesson learned. With my second redemption pull I was able to get a magenta printer’s plate of Delontae. I was ecstatic.
