2020-21 Upper Deck Hockey Forum

Man, COVID really screwed things up, especially hockey cards. Bad enough it made the 2020-21 sets hard to obtain, causing the prices for packs/boxes to skyrocket. I was lucky enough to go to Target and see that they restocked the UD 2020-21 fat packs (previously, I only was able to get two). Also lucky to find that their restrictions for "one pack per customer" only applied to MLB, NFL, and NBA cards, so I went like a drug addict needing his fix and bought 12. Anyways, I always look forward to the Series 2 of the Upper Deck sets to get cards of players in the jerseys of teams they signed up with over the break. This series, though....all I can say is I was severely disappointed (not that I can blame Upper Deck, since -again- COVID screwed up everything). The disappointment first came when I came across Zdeno Chara's card....with him still in a Boston jersey. I checked all the other players that came in the pack and noticed all of them are with the teams they were with at the end of last season. The card quality is just as good as their previous seasons. I just wanted to voice my sadness about this season's Series 2. Again, I don't blame Upper Deck for this, since the areas probably wouldn't allow anyone extraneous in there, including photographers for hockey cards.
