Hobby boxes of 2015-16 Upper Deck Trilogy Hockey was released on January 13, 2016, with a list price of $119.95 on a popular trading card website.
Each box of that series includes 4 memorabilia hits: 1 rookie autographed card; 1 relic card, 1 premium autographed card; and 1 random hit.
If you paid $119.95 for that series, it's kind of like you paid approximately $29.99 for each memorabilia hit. Listed in the cart below is what buyers on a popular auction website paid for that series over the past week.

Users on that auction website paid approximately 10.18 percent more for each hobby box. I suspect almost all of those buyers resides in Canada, where they can't order that series from authorized Internet retailers in the United States that's forbidden from selling Upper Deck products outside of that country.
