www.beckett.com/news/2021-upper-deck-aew-wrestling-cards/"Wrestlers Autographs have two tiers of rarity depending on the signer. The more common signatures combine to land 1:180 packs while short prints are 1:768." the rates of getting anything good out of these packs is so bad, you can buy a box and not get an auto or patch. Oof. That's horrendous. This sucks the life out of my excitement for these. Especially when AEW has a huge roster and ability to really go 1:20 with people like Cabana, Hersh, Hook, or what have you. I'll buy a set of the base cards. I'll try for some autos on Ebay I suppose, but I don't want to get into paying $100 a card for people like Hobbs, Caster, and Statlander. Seems insane when they should be more like $20. But that's what fake scarcity does to a card line. Nobody does that butter than UD. Guys like Mox and Omega are going to go for crazy money. There will be a niche that goes after that stuff, but I think it's going to be a big negative for casuals who just want some AEW cards.

I had so many of these. I wish my mom didn't toss all of my old cards. It’s a timeless tradition haha. I have all my trading cards still, my Mom tossed my comic books (it’s almost like a cliche joke to say that) I still have all my Marvel cards in one huge D-ring binder but I am selling my 90s comics. AEW should get Don West to sell these trading cards but he has cancer now

Yeah I'm not looking forward to trying to track down a Kenny,Hangman and Darby auto.

You know, I was surfing the 'bay the other day and there was a set listed there for All In. I'm pretty sure it was a specialty set for the premiere. Some of the cards are going for a boatload of money on there.
That said, they're pretty ugly. I hope this new set is much nicer but, honestly, with the things you guys are saying, I'm not looking forward to trying to put together a set.

You are 100% not guaranteed a hit in a hobby box.
In a 16 box case you only get 12 hits so the hits come out to one in every 1.3 boxes.
The hits in the case are 8 relics and only 4 autos.
So the big name autos will go for big money if you can pull one.
Autos being 1 in every 4 boxes are not a good way to kick start this.
At least with the WWE boxes, you get one auto per box.

Looks like it could take up to 2 months to ship.

If the price that Steel City has for the pre order of just a box is any indication, they may price me out of even trying to collect these.

Adam Cole Preview Card is live: www.upperdeckepack.com/Store/Product/2021-AEW-PreviewI bought a pair of Cole. I'm sure they'll do Bryan and Ruby next. I'll get one of each of those to round out the All Out Radicals. I'm not going to do this over-and-over, but new line of cards, new talent that jumped over, fun to commemorate imo. If it's like Topps Now, I'll be crazy picky with these. So if it's $6-10 here or there, no big deal. I'm probably largely out on base cards anyway. I'm not paying $7 for 5 cards in a pack or whatever. I'm sure plenty of flippers will buy cases and sell singles.

I might buy a few boxes (one to keep and one to sell down the road), but I'm really trying not to get excited about these. I don't need ANOTHER expensive hobby. lol

If that's actually going to be the price and not just some crazy pre-order price, that'll get me out of these in a hurry. The currency conversion on a 150 USD box is going to sink me. I don't even know if I'd pay $150 CAD for a box.

What scares me about buying a box is you dont have a guarantee of a hit.

$100 is definitely better, but with no autos, that's rough.
