2016-17 nhl artifacts

One of the higher end boxes that is being made this year is 2017 Upper deck(r) artifacts. The hobby box in my opinion looks great with Dylan Larkin on the front. There are 8 packs of 4 cards for a total of 32 cards. In the box there are 3 autograph cards, relic cards, or aurum cards, there are also 4 serial numbered parallels, and just to boot there is also one redemption card per box.

Soccerstarz

I know this is a sports card blog, where I discuss well... sports cards but today I wanted to change it up. I have discovered soccerstarz which are 2 inch mini soccer figures. They look almost exactly like most of the players that are featured. The players come on a variety of different coloured bases, based on their rarity. The most common is green, but there is also blue, red, white, silver, gold, black,new this year yellow bases, and bronze and orange which are extremely rare( about 0.1 percent of the collection). There are blister packs which are basically packages where you can see which player you are receiving. There are blind bags where you cannot see the player that you're receiving, the player comes on a random coloured base. Finally there are team packs, these are when you have 15-24 players in a pack, generally celebrating a title of some sort. If you are a soccer fan I highly suggest you check them out. As usual be sure to stay tuned for more in depth product analysis,...

How YOU can tell if there is a relic or autograph In a pack

Many people often wonder if there is a relic or autograph in the pack that they are purchasing. There is two specific ways to tell. If you're going through a box and you want to know if a pack has a relic or autograph, feel the thickness of the pack. If one pack feels thicker than the rest, there is a good chance that there is a relic or autograph. If the pack also feels heavier there is also a good chance that there is a relic or autograph. If this was helpful please share it with someone else who you know is a fan of card collecting. Please stay tuned for product analysis, reviews, and more!!

Blaster Box vs Hobby box

When you perchase cards whether it's in store or online all the packs come in boxes, in this post I will tell you the difference between hobby boxes and blaster boxes. The first difference is in the price, hobby boxes tend to be a lot more expensive than blaster boxes, which leads me to the second difference. The second difference Is the amount of cards that you get. Hobby boxes tend to contain more cards and often have relics or autographs inside. Blaster boxes generally contain more base cards and an occasional parallel, while hobby boxes have more parallels and you are a more likely to receive a relic or an autograph. I hope that this was helpful, as usual make sure to stay tuned for more product analysis, reviews, and much more!!
