Throwback style video, love seeing it! I was worried you were lettin people getting to you and changed your style! Keep up the great vids and thank you for the content!!!
Product is fun, but it's a $129CAD product than usually drop to $79-89 because it sell badly. Now they ask $169-199 for the bedard tax.. It's hard to swallow.
Very true. Albeit, Bedard year products won’t drop much in price, and should trend up as boxes deplete. Just like 15/16. I personally never blame card companies. They are private entities, with free agency. No one is forcing anyone to buy. There are dozens and dozens of products and years. Most other years are completely tanking in price, due to consumers only focusing on 23/24. Thrifty consumers should buy all those tanking years. And if they want a Bedard card, buy it directly on eBay once his cards flood the market, and prices correct. It’s just supply/demand, like all other markets, whether housing, iPhones, concert tickets, etc. If ppl don’t want to buy two boxes, buy a TV or a gym membership instead.
Ya, I’m not sure I fully get the point of dismissing products that break paradigms, and thus remain relatively affordable and niche. For me at least, unique offerings are my sweet spot. The notion that everything must be UDS, SPA, Premier, or Cup completely misses the point of a hobby. Should every comic book be Marvel? Should all music be Taylor Swift? Should we only eat Italian and trash Indian because it’s too spicy? Should every video game be The Last of Us? Instead of booing products, why not just buy what you like, not what you are told to value. I always love products like Champ’s, Full Force, ITG, or Synergy particularly if they don’t sell. Prices come down, and those who know… know. And I doubt kids would dislike colorful hard plastic cards.
True. I’d argue that almost all sets that are not Upper Deck Series are insert sets, because the present generation doesn’t like base and doesn’t set build. Synergy is simply an acetate set like historical UD Ice. The red plastic base (parallels) are probably most enjoyed by children, and ppl like myself who love reinterpretations of what cards can be. And when niche products tank in price, they translate to an entry point for shallower pockets, casual observers experimenting at the margins of the hobby, and - again - kids who don’t have pre-baked assumptions or fixations on “value.”
@Fultoncards it have become the set of fancy acetate cards with a base set of one red parallel per pack. Granted the FX inserts last 2 years were cool. This year the retro one is ok but not my favorite. And the bounty cards another thing this set has and gets some people chasing the parallel set of cards.
Perhaps. When I was 16, when we were talking about our relationship, my gf said to me matter-of-fact: “appreciate, don’t assess.” That stuck with me my entire life. While I am a very critical and analytical thinker, I have never seen things as good or bad. Most things connect with me on some level. And, when they don’t, I rarely feel the need to compare them to things that do. And often see the greater context of where things might find their own rightful place. Yes, some songs are better than others. But that’s just a personal appreciation. I have never believed in dogma.
Woot woot!!! Thank you for all the breaks and videos you do!!!!! That flammable was a great looking card.
Those waffleboarded are really nice! Really fun box overall!
Nice break. That Caution Flammable cards look sweet #Dryden

Nah. I just fried my Mac with Sodastream water! Thankfully I miraculously have the full AppleCare package and it’s still valid.
Awesome peter Forsberg. I have a cool one of his you probably haven't seen. Under rated all timer.
Great video and nice forsberg!
Howe! This is my first video I’ve seen, definitely just subbed!!
Fantastic video and ok break.
Very...orange. Great break ntl.
Nice box! #dryden
Love the forsberg
Nice box. Congrats on the Habs and goalie mojo... ##Dryden
Nice box, good looking cards. #Dryden
Not everyones cup of tea but love these oddball sets.( Awesome job without edits)
I really appreciate that. Fun challenge to make a short vid without my bag of tricks.
Man I loved Forsberg. I’d he didn’t have injury trouble he would be recognized as one of the GOATs.
In my mind he still is one on the goats. He was unstoppable at times.
The cards do look nice, the Gordie was nice. Awesome non edited video.
I like this set a lot. Some real cool cards though. Thanks for the rips Fulton. #Dryden
That Raddysh Makita is such an odd pairing🤷🏻♂️ I do like Synergy. Hope you’re still on the mend Bud👍
That Forsberg is pretty sweet. #dryden
interesting box. tons of goalie mojo! #Dryden
Edits or no, still enjoy your breaks more than any other breaker. Wicked summoning of the rocket:) thanks for the break! #dryden
How quickly did I summon him though? Uncanny.

💪😁🤘
Not a huge Syngery fan...But its starting to grow on me #dryden
#dryden yeah boy
I get how Synergy isn't everyone's favourite product, but you can find some neat, wacky cards.
Great box !
#dryden fun rip
No edit? No problem. *Hay bush sound effect*
❤ #dryden
Very busy set. To busy. Fun to watch but a hard pass for me at 150-180 Canadian.
#Dryden
People may complain about Synergy but it takes products like this to bring kids into the hobby #dryden

@@Fultoncards I love Champs. years ago I saw the Patrick Roy Conn Smythe /25 auto pulled. I have wanted a copy since
Wow. I forgot that those #’d Conn Smythe autos were a thing. Total product hit.
Mir-reece Richard. Not Morris :)
so why the move brother? I love how you open different boxes. How is the health?
Nothing real crazy in that box, not a bad product though I have a box on the way #dryden
synergy has become the insert set. you only get 1 "base" card and it's not a "true" base card.
