2018-19 Upper Deck Synergy Hockey Cards

i was skeptical yes .
but what a fun break lots on inserts and parallels
pulled a hall auto 1/672 packs and a larkin base /71
plus other fun stuff
much like pacific when they had tons of diffrent color variants and numbered cards something that someon may overlook and find in a common box . these are fun. great design . and value

Love this product lots of chase cards and parallels and the kids love opening it. Kind of glad there are no jersey or fancy patch cards. Hits were increased giving a bit better bang for the buck. Opened a ton and would do it again in a heart beat. Some times it is more about the fun factor and not the resale value.

Intriguing list of names on the auto checklist, but this product again is a total fail. Again Upper Deck has a monopoly and they should look into a less is more style with sets. A lot of garbage being released.

The value just isn’t there for the product. They are nice looking acetate cards, but the QC isn’t there. I bought a box and there are cards with edge damage.

This product has only sticker autos, and very little secondary market value.

It would be fair if the price was around $30/box.

si vous voulez gaspiller de l’argent acheter ce produit si non attendez quelque semaine et la compagnie va écouler a rabais,voir si ca vaut la peine

Watch a couple boxes being broken, which were beyond bad. Bought a few packs thinking it had to get better. NOPE< Dud of a product. Horrible last year and this year not any different

This is what happens when you have a monopoly in any industry. Last years set has almost zero resale value and with no major hits or inserts it truly was the worst set of 2018. Somebody must have bought it so UD decided to keep this set in the market. Truly sad

Total impulse buy and wish I checked here first. Stopped into LCS for supplies and noticed these new boxes. I didn’t buy any last year but since it survived another year (unlike Contours, Full Force, Portfolio, etc) that it must be decent. Boy what a bunch of gimmicky junk. The cards are similar to the Fleer eFX inserts from around 2008. With only 24 cards per box I still managed to get 3 of the same player (2 red, 1 blue). First time I’ve really felt like I want my $ back…

I love this product. It features nice cards without the pressure of hunting jerseys and patches. The low number hits are exciting, and while the box price is indeed too high, the after market sales are very appealing.

The cards look even better this year, and the insert sets especially feature nice designs. Cast For Greatness is my favorite subset that Upper Deck offers.

While people do complain, and while product is plentiful, my local store sold out last year twice before I could finally get my own box.

I joined a case break and there was a Cast for Greatness black hit, and I see a couple examples on eBay. I believe this is an easter egg / parallel not accounted for in the checklist. Additionally Andrei Svechnikov was a Glow Shift not noted above.

Horrible product..I’ll save my money for spa

I love this set. Ots a little over priced out of the box of course, but it’s fun to collect on the secondary market. It looks like another Easter egg is a black parallel of the Cast For Greatness. There is a MacKinnon on eBay now and I saw a Mittlestadt in a break.

Also, last year my card shop sold out on day one, so it may not be as hated as those vocal people may have everyone believe!

It’s not Upper Deck’s products that are necessarily bad, but it is their pricing for those products. With exclusive licensing, there is no competition to keep prices reasonable. Synergy should be a $16/box product. If another card manufacturer was permitted to put out products, low-value products like Synergy would have to be priced in accordance with the value that the collector gets. I hope the hobby sends a message to Upper Deck with their dollars and avoids Synergy. Only then will they get the message.

Why are they keeping a set that was a complete BOMB. Would much rather they brought back Fleer Showcase. But than I miss the old Black Diamond, SPx, and SP Game Used also.

I still hate myself for buying a box last year, little to no value and almost zero interest in the secondary market.

Talk about a product that NOBODY is looking forward to
Last Years release of Synergy was easily the Stupidest set UpperDeck put out, not to mention I think it took the place of Fleer Showcase

My LCS sold exactly zero boxes of this last year.. they already told their distributor that they absolutely dont want any of this – this year…
apparently if they dont take this – why? they won’t sell it — they will get less of other UD product ..really??
