1-2-3-4, I declare a box war!

Okay, maybe more like a comparison.

Earlier this year, I bought a box of Upper Deck Series 1, and I bough another last week.  Since I still have all of the pictures of my pulls, I thought I would compare the two and see which one I did better on.

Product: Upper Deck Series 1 Hobby
Cost: $100
Configuration: 8 Cards per Pack, 24 Packs per Box


Young Guns

Box 1


Box 2



Edge: Even.  Box 1 totals $60, and Box 2 totals $53, so it's relatively close.


Canvas

Box 1


Box 2



Edge: Box 2, because of the Young Gun, though I like the Brady Skeji.  It looks like he's about to throw the bottle at some asshole fan.

Other Inserts

Box 1







Box 2









Edge: Even.  The Shooting Stars apparently are hard to pull, but they're not really worth much.

Hits

Box 1


Box 2


Edge: Box 1.  I like the Chabot jersey and the 1/1 buyback of Trevor Linden.

Overall: Slight edge to Box 1, because of the hits.  The shape of the Cup on the Chabot card looks nicer than the white "X" on the Svechnikov.
