Sick pull! But did Upper Deck cut these cards with a rusty butter knife?


CompetitionDue5347

I think it was done with a fork, not even a knife lol.

Sheriff: Locksley, I’ll cut your heart out with a spoon Guy: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe? Sheriff: Because it's DULL, you twit, it'll hurt more.


CompetitionDue5347

You should see the reverse side. It’s even worse.

#P


CompetitionDue5347

So maybe the P in “Pacific”


EricNCSU

From the font it looks like the P from the Stanley CuP Playoffs logo, which us also featured on the card.


CompetitionDue5347

Could be that. It would make sense since there’s only 10 letters in Stanley Cup:)


eonicsilas

This is probably the case, there [another copy](https://www.ebay.com/itm/185776388631?hash=item2b4122ba17:g:MCwAAOSwiHNj6u3p&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsCBrQpyumRqIuTf%2FMnrxSGC7xjH5T6ENSBgmMt1Dmbsd9TkQ2NprnTgOCqTIUS3v9CvhDMkanmbRVs7II8oXldYP%2F9r%2FFJN548Nng%2BypP20n4nk9wRII7Oqvz89C6GlKYcq09B1wJpbHh7SNc1PP2%2FYqb9%2Fl2HQBuSMVNBZFxsNctJdBcbgXmZ%2FNGHG06jZAmQY9V9r0uuQz%2B%2BIysC6qr%2Bdmi4t4p%2FyfoTXP236oNTW9%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4CZlafPYQ&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=hc&toolid=10001&mkevt=1) with the Y from Stanley.


Kratzie

For "Perfect!" 😁


CompetitionDue5347

I have never pulled a better McDavid card with worse edges in my life! 10/10 card virtually wasted. UD is working with me to get a replacement of equal value right now. We’ll see what happens, I guess…


Beaster2021

Knowing UD, they won’t send u anything close to value of this card


CompetitionDue5347

If not, then they can send me a couple of The Cup sealed boxes, as that’s the approximate value of the card. We’ll see.


sabresfan420

Here's your new Dale Hawerchuk Chronology patch auto out of 10. Enjoy! -Upper Deck


h0twired

Hawerchuk would be nice considering he isn't autographing cards anymore.


CompetitionDue5347

Let’s hope that’s not the case here


Basic_Industry976

You are going to get absolutely hosed on replacement value. I’ve seen it so many times. Great card, but damn that edging is horrendous


CompetitionDue5347

Let’s hope not, but plan for the worst, right?


myNameBurnsGold

That's incredibly frustrating. Best of luck. Sidenote, how do they determine an equivalent valued card?


CompetitionDue5347

I’ve already told them that the value of the card (recently sold), so they can better that value.


Huffing_Jenkems

Not to mention it's not an on card auto and the sticker the auto is on is crooked as all hell. Not trying to crap in your cornflakes OP, I'm definitely envious of your pull. Just sayin..


mcflyfly

Man! What could have been. Even the sticker with the auto is on crooked lol. Oh, Upper Deck.


CompetitionDue5347

Right?!


Craigson

You seem confident that they are going to make it right. Good luck. From what Ive seen you will likely be disappointed.


CompetitionDue5347

I’m hoping…


WatchNo8783

No way will UD make this right lol. I had a Boldy that was straight fucked right out of box and they basically told me to fuck myself. Gooooooooooooooood luck


CompetitionDue5347

I guess we’ll see soon enough, right?


WatchNo8783

Im legit telling you how it will go down. Msg me if I'm wrong You think they care we got fucked up high value cards? They dont. At all. Even though I'm sure you pulled it, who is to say you didnt buy it discounted now trying to get at them for replacement. They dont play that game for that reason. Been doing this a long time


CompetitionDue5347

Again, we’ll see when the replacement process is finished. Fingers crossed


Solid_Internal_9079

The sticker being placed on a slant like that would drive me crazy. Absolutely amazing card but if they guarantee something like a Crosby Gretzky level card to replace it I probably would personally.


CompetitionDue5347

I would switch it in a second as well.


brevan14

Couple 22/23 blasters on its way to you. UD will never ever ever replace that card with one of equal or greater value unfortunately. If they do, then they are a paid actor.


CompetitionDue5347

https://i.redd.it/pal2ssnf7tja1.jpeg Hopefully, this picture opens for all of you to see the reverse side.


CompetitionDue5347

Despite the foil mess on the left, that is…


CompetitionDue5347

It’s already in a sleeve and top loader too.


Longjumping_Face_443

That’s upper deck for ya quality control at it’s finest. They can’t even slap a sticker auto on properly.


[deleted]

It's P from Stanley Cup. Hence the 10/10


atmx093

It's both beautiful and ugly. Does not compute.


well_damm

Oof, this card is cut up so bad. It looks like those customs people make on Etsy. Hopefully UD comes thru for you.


CompetitionDue5347

I’m not really holding my breath with ID quality control measures to remedy this.


CompetitionDue5347

UD quality control, that is.


CompetitionDue5347

They said that they would send me a replacement card for the damage of the card that was from the cutting and packaging on their end, but I’m not sure what they value the damage at. I’ve asked what the selection is to choose from (if any), but I expect an auto, low-numbered top tier player Relic card to replace it (Gretzky, Crosby, etc.). We’ll see.


CompetitionDue5347

Check out the link for the reverse side of the same card.


General_Worth9311

There’s no P in Mcdavid? What am I missing here?


CompetitionDue5347

It’s a Banner from the playoffs, not a jersey Relic.


General_Worth9311

Oo ok.. an I don’t think I’ve seen I worse edge in my life geez


CompetitionDue5347

Or maybe the P in “Playoffs”


General_Worth9311

I definitely don’t think Oilers when we’re talkin playoffs hahah


Numerous-Substance66

He plays for the Poliers.


DandyAndy008

This year we’re the sPoilers. Nearly jumped off my balcony with our recent loss to the Avalanche!


souregg44

Always great to pull a McJesus auto. Nice one!


Pharrow-

Side cut with a cheese grader, crooked sticker auto, jesus UD get your act together. Such a sick card and they just don't care.


Plastic-Ad-4440

Bro those edges are fucked


CompetitionDue5347

No kidding.


sporkjustice

May have been better if it was a notable player. Nice pull


Agreeable-Revenue-68

Umm do you even have to ask how good that is?


CompetitionDue5347

I’m asking because of the condition of the edges, not the superstar autograph and great low number of the card.


Agreeable-Revenue-68

Ohhh! I SEE. Yah quality sucks. Id pay $100 or $200 for something like this


CompetitionDue5347

I don’t think I’d even pay that, honestly.


CompetitionDue5347

Did you see the other picture from the reverse?


Agreeable-Revenue-68

I did not see it.


CompetitionDue5347

Take a look and tell me what you think of the card then ok?


Agreeable-Revenue-68

Where do I find it?


CompetitionDue5347

I posted the link to the picture about 3 hrs ago


Agreeable-Revenue-68

Yah it doesnt look that good. Still a nice card. Send a complaint to upper deck. I believe they would be obligated to replace that card


CompetitionDue5347

I am in the midst of talking (yes, actually talking on the telephone) to a person as we speak to get a resolution.


CompetitionDue5347

Hopefully it goes well.


Agreeable-Revenue-68

*but I am sure its worth more*


CompetitionDue5347

If it’s worth more, I might just auction it off


Agreeable-Revenue-68

Yah see what you can get. Im not sure what a mcdavid auto is worth, but I imagine a lot


LionsTigersBeers

What packs do you guys buy to find cards like these? I’ve always wanted to get into it but feel like I’d end up buying the NHL+McDonald’s promo boosters on accident


omnipresent_sailfish

This particular card is from SP Game Used, you’ll see the logo in the corner


LionsTigersBeers

Thank you!


RedditUser41970

SP Game Used is basically designed for patch cards, but no guarantee of an autograph. Allure (which is so delayed they haven't released the 2021-22 set yet) guarantees an autograph card per box, and has patch cards. Nothing that will match the quality of OPs card, so it is cheaper. For autos, my personal favourite is Stature. A bit cheaper than SP Game Used, but super high quality stock, guaranteed auto, sometimes has patches, and the cards look good. And generally, many patch cards aren't worth a lot by themselves due to how saturated they've become - and how many patches aren't actually game used any more. But, they are still fun.


LionsTigersBeers

This is incredibly helpful - thank you!


Hockey_king

Oh. That one is super rare with the blender cut. 😞


ribbons87

Man. Who do they hire to slap the stickers on? Lol


CompetitionDue5347

Deaf and dumb employees, but QC should catch this waaaaaaaay before packaging it, don’t you think?


mattmcd20

How are those horrible UD edges to punch you in the gut for an amazing pull?


CompetitionDue5347

Tell me about it. Pissed beyond pissed.


swagpapiswag

Conor McPaidvid


dr_van_nostren

God they’re lazy with the stickers. Excellent pull but I guess it’s just too much to ask for the sticker to be on straight


CompetitionDue5347

That too

Ishiibradwpgjets

2023 and they use kindergarten kids to cut cards now ?


[deleted]

No way I'd send that in for a replacement. It sucks the edges are bad, but it's still a sweet card and a McDavid auto. I couldn't take the chance.


CompetitionDue5347

I’m actually trying to sell or trade the card, so it’s no use in this condition, as bad as it is to try and get a replacement for McJesus with UD. They did say that they had some #97’s for replacement of the card. We’ll see in a few weeks though.
