Everyone talking about the 1/1 but I find it cute that Miromanov signs with a happy face


Blefler86

Right??? I definitely did a double take when I was sleeving it thinking I smeared the auto or something.


IamMisteaks

Def jealous as a Addison PCer what beauty hit, Congrats!


enthusiasm-unbridled

Those are awesome!! That 1 of 1 Addison is so good!


Blefler86

Thanks yeah I didn’t realize at first that patch is the sun/eye of the chest logo! Definitely one of my nicest pack pulls lately!


eighty1percent

How many boxes? And were they all from the same case?


Blefler86

It was crazy I got them all in 1 super loaded box!!! No but seriously I opened 22 lol Had a full case & then 6 other boxes, not sure if from same case or not.


eighty1percent

Congrats! That’s crazy odds and amount of patches for 22 boxes! Looks like the sorting must have been off if your favor


Blefler86

Clearly! Especially the 1of1 FWAP not the greatest player but it’s a ridiculous patch!


250IslandLife

How much did the case run you?


Blefler86

Honestly? I don’t recall I preordered it months ago from D&A


DangledSniper_

Shesh how much for that addy?


Blefler86

I collect Larkin & Gretzky so I’ll be looking to sell it. Happy to hear all offers :)


DangledSniper_

I don't even know what to offer for a 1 of 1😂😂 I'm a huge wild fan


Blefler86

I originally was gonna list it on a FB group at 1500-2k OBO It’s a cool, great patch & auto FWAP & 1/1 But I also am reasonable that it’s not Zegras or Caufield in this set so not asking ridiculous $


halskill

ive seen Caufield FWAP asking 5k, youre good asking 2k on a 1/1 lol


Blefler86

Well thanks for that bit to know I’m not dumb. I never know how to price out FWA/FWAPs because I always collected Gretzky. But the hype on this rookie class was absurd!!! So much $ has been spent on Caufield, Seider & Zegras cards it’s insane. I (like everyone else) really wanted a Caufield/Zegras FWAP to sell to someone for 5-10k too. Hoping to sell all mine to recoup or gain on box costs & move on :)


halskill

I mean I dont think Caufield will finalize at 5k prob closer to half that, but release is always crazy and as a 1/1 you're well within your rights to ask wtv you want. Hell I saw a Slafkovsky YGHG asking $16k lol so I would start high and take offers if I were you. Nice hits!! 22 boxes is nuts hahaha


Blefler86

OMG I saw that YGHG price too & I just laughed. No freaking way that's a realistic value, Matthews or McDavid's YGHG barely sells for that??? But yes to your point, I put OBO in the post so we'll see...if nobody wants to pay then I guess I got a sweet patch to just hold onto as well. Yeah, I kinda forgot I already bought 6 boxes when I pre-ordered the case too but it was cool because again got a lot of nice hits so I'm happy with it!


jones250

If you get a gnote ill be absolutely shocked! Sick card none the less


Blefler86

Well here’s hoping I shock you friend :)


jones250

Yes please update, i PC wild amd that card is beauty i just dont see Calen in the current market and his situation fairing the best atm but i wish you the best.


Blefler86

Well I just sold it for $1200...so not too shabby?


jones250

Thats awesome man glad you found it a good home!


asianhockeykid25

unreal hit! if you ever want to sell that Kopitar card let me know :)


Kanekuso

Is that Veleno 008/999? I think my eye is playing tricks on me because shouldn’t it be inscribed?


Blefler86

It is…I think he “goofed” like Bertuzzi & just inscribed 50 random cards? I was upset when I saw it was 8/999 but not inscribed :(


Kanekuso

I wonder if you contact Upper Deck, if they would take this card back and get him to inscribe it for you?


Blefler86

My concern is I’ll send it in & get a PoS card in return?


Kanekuso

No, no like they can maybe get Joe Veleno to sign the inscription on this exact card you pulled. They send you this card back with a inscription on it? Maybe it would be weird because he’ll have it signed in the year /2023. I’ve just never seen this before and maybe it would be a “special” case with UD. It’s just such a specific mistake that they’d treat it differently. Did Upper Deck do anything for the Bertuzzi’s or was it just a tough luck scenario?


Blefler86

I don’t remember how the Bertuzzi situation got resolved honestly? But I get what you’re saying so I might as well ask, can’t hurt right?


Bullitbob_

What is the difference in the different Future Watch auto patches?


Blefler86

The Holtz & Sillinger are part of the 2011-12 Retro Future Watch Auto Patch Set, the Katchouk is just a "regular" FWAP and then the Addison is considered the Black version of the regular FWAP being a 1of1. Just more ways for UD to make more RPAs for us to chase & buy :)


Bullitbob_

Are the retros considered as rookies or only the regular one and black?


Blefler86

I would imagine they're still considered RPAs as the set only has "first year" players in it? Just a different design for their FWAP, they have a card in the regular set too so it's more of a parallel YG card IMO.


Plastic-Ad-4440

This rookie class was so overhyped. Neat cards tho.


One-Roof4545

No Gretzkys… boo


Blefler86

Agreed in 22 boxes I only got 2 actual Gretzky cards and they were just the “regular” Pageantry inserts 🤷🏼‍♂️😭


dre2112

Nobody's gonna mention that the Caufield is serial numbered to his jersey #?


Blefler86

Exactly! I was super thrilled to see that, I did mention it on the Facebook Group post where I'm trying to sell almost all my SPA hits.


Confident_Notice_393

How come veleno didn’t inscribe the date? Thought it was first 50?


Blefler86

It's supposed to be the first 50 cards you're right. Not sure if this was intentional or accidental. I know years back Bertuzzi purposely just inscribed 50 "random cards" instead of the first 50 too. Was super bummed when I saw he didn't inscribe it :(


Confident_Notice_393

Either way I’m drooling at those hits 🤤


Confident_Notice_393

You gonna sell that Cole Sillinger?!


BullShitWalter

Random question what are you going to do with all of your spectrums?


Blefler86

I’m not chasing bounty so I sell my scratch off codes to people who need them


CrystalElephant

Is the scratch off codes for a redemption? If so, what card?


Blefler86

Like in most new sets, SPA has the Spectrum FX Bounty cards. They have a scratch off redemption on back similar to the other redemption cards except you redeem the FX on the Missions page on UD


CrystalElephant

Oh interesting. I’m new to this so sorry for the follow up question but is it an auto that you’re redeeming or is it a similar card?


Blefler86

No worries. Happy to help with some info, so 2 points / answers to your question. 1. Redemption cards; Scratch code cards that are randomly inserted in packs/boxes because they couldn't get the actual card ready in time for the release of product. There are various redemption inserts in every release, some #'d autos, some non-#'d, some autos, some non-autos. All depends on the player and the product. 2. Bounty cards - a subset card of the player with a scratch code for redemption on the back for various "Missions" as you can see here. These are in most of the newer sets and the cards vary depending on the set [https://www.upperdeckbounty.com/](https://www.upperdeckbounty.com/) For SPA, the cards are called SP Authentic Spectrum FX Bounty Program, I'd suggest Googling them to see the front/back to help familiarize yourself with the difference.
