Rumour has it the new Spider-Man Marvel Metal Universe is dropping at Upper Deck soon so we thought we'd give you some top tips on how to survive (and thrive) during a big ePack drop because a lot of collectors are new to them.
1. Do a Test Bust & Trade
Create your account and log in to run a test pack before the big drop you want to get involved in - there's nothing worse than experiencing technical difficulties when the pressure is on so get it out of the way beforehand. While you're at it try out the trading system with another collector as well so you know how that runs as well.
2. Book the Annual Leave (or find your old positive RAT)
Make sure you've got no distractions! Get yourself a day off from work (or find an old COVID test) so you know you're not gonna be interrupted when the drop happens! This can be even more important for non US collectors who need to stay up til the wee hours to time the drop correctly.
3. Make Friends
Got friends who already collect? Find their profile and become friends! It's always good to have a buddy when it's time to go into an ePack battle together.
4. Let the Credit Card Company Know
You bought a what? Your bank and your credit card company may flag the transaction when you buy your first ePack so make sure you've let them know or cleared them in your banking app. It'll make sure the transaction doesn't get held up.
5. Get comfortable - 3am, comfort food, coffee
If you're staying up late make sure you're comfortable, got some snacks and the caffeine is ready whether its coffee, Red bull or Monster. You don't want to pass out and miss the drop because once the packs are gone they're gone.
6. Over-spend for your favourites
All that money you didn't spend during lockdown? It was for NOW. Don't skimp if you wanna hit big. Do you love Venom? Make them your target and focus on them once the trades come out, don't use the scattergun approach.
7. HODL the SPs and Grade the Good Stuff
The short prints in these set are undervalued and long term these cards have got a lot of potential - if you pull one hold onto it.
Finally, if you pull one of the big bois get ready to send it for grading - Marvel collectors are getting more and more savvy with slabbed cards and are ready to buy.
