UFC UFC Series 4

[Jay Blank]

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone was planning on organising/doing a case split of series 4 ufc when it's released? I would be interested to participate and get some boxes from the case/s.

Cheers,
Jay

I'm keen, I may also be able to organise the case if we get enough people interested.

nice idea i hope you can gather the interest im sure ejt85 would be up for it however hes not as active these days and maybe bdean or siege. good luck with it

How about you girds? No booklet style dual relic auto St-Pierres for you?

 

[siegeandspike]

be careful buying a case, if it costs more than $1000 customs will charge you tax/import duty on it. Happened to me with a case of series 2, cost about $350 or so.

 

[choC.]

shouldn't be more than $1000..

 

[siegeandspike]

I would be very suprised if it was less than $1000.
12 box case. The boxes normally start off at well over $100 each.
I would have thought around $1400-1600 would be a likely figure???

(could be wrong though! )

I've seen pre-sale individual boxes on the bay at $75US each. Guess we'll have to wait and see, but i'm definately keen for a few boxes.

 

[siegeandspike]

$75 is a lot cheaper than most of the other sets have been

Very tempting!

Make sure you get Hobby, not Retail!

Ive banned myself from boxes and cases and shares and splits and so on, after that shockingly dismal case break i was involved in on buymmacards with series 3 I just have absoulutely no interest. At least not at the moment anyway.

but it is true that the cost of series 4 is WAAAAY cheaper then previous series. Pre sale hobby 12 box cases around the 800 mark and pre sale hobby boxes around the 75 mark. Not sure why this series is so cheap, possibly due to the razor mma release happening around the same time.

 

[siegeandspike]

A bit of healthy competition is always a good thing!
Will make Tops have to try a bit harder on the cards as well hopefully.

yeh razor is 1 auto per pack sure to bring a heap on interest in

I'm not sure it will as Razor is only releasing 599 cases (compared to topps which produces thousands!).

That's a shame! Have you got links to your box/case breaks?

or due to the fact that the bulk produce everything so nothing holds value

I can see your frustration with the fast turnaround between each UFC series, but I think the only reason they're doing that is due to the high demand for the product!

Round 1 got scarce really quickly ($600 box now!) & Round 2 is starting to dry up (Sold out on ufcstore.com).
I think if they waited another 6 months before Main Event was released, it would have been better for the market (let alone Series 4).

On the flipside I think each series is getting notably better in terms of the quality of cards (see Main Event compared to Round 1), and Series 4 is looking pretty awesome imo...

i agree with you totally on the demand for the product but i think round 2 were the best the autos were the best and generally the design of the higher end stuff as for the base i didnt really get into them

No set date but expecting it to be hopefully next month. I see in your sig you collecting big nog stuff.... choc pulled a red big nog auto from a box a couple nights ago.

 

[eggshen]

Yeah i just posted in that thread showing my interest in it

Its good to see some new UFC collectors on here too. I was out of the game for a while due to $ and main event being kinda ****ty. But as always a new release has sucked me back in lol.

I should get around to posting a thread with what i have because i'm willing to trade or sell quite alot of it at this stage apart from a few of my favourites.
