Pays $15.96, gets $0.98 worth of cards.
I purchased four packs of 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey via e-Pack for $3.99 each, and all four inserts that I pulled are virtually worthless on COMC, as seen in the chart below:

Odds | Current Market Value* |
| O-Pee-Chee Update Rookies U32 Jared McCann | 1:6 | $0.04 |
| O-Pee-Chee Update Rookies U49 Mikko Rantanen | 1:6 | $0.05 |
| Portraits Rookies P-71 - Emile Poirier | 1:6 | $0.20 |
| Young Guns 466 Michael Keranen | 1:4 | $0.69 |
Assuming I'm able to sell those cards for the current cheapest price on COMC.com, I'll make a whopping... $0.98 off of a $15.96 investment. A 93.8 percent loss. I could have purchased up to ten UD Game Jersey cards on COMC for the same price...
*Based on the cheapest copy on COMC minus the automatically dedeucted $0.25 fee.
