Here's why.

I specialize in budget trading cards breaks, so naturally you'd expect me to cover a box of 2015-16 Upper Deck Fusion Hockey, right?

I won't be collecting that series -- because none of the parallels are physical cards that can be mailed to me!

The only cards in that series that can be mailed to me requires a lot of money, or a lot of time. Here's a rundown of those cards:

  • Combine a complete regular, gold, or black digital base set (#1-200) to acquire a physical 10-card Fusion Rookie Achievement that corresponds to parallel version you combined.

  • Combine a complete yellow, blue, or green digital Fission F/X insert set (#1-45) to acquire a physical 6-card physical Fission F/X Achievement set that corresponds to the parallel version that you combined.

To make matters worse, none of those physical cards features a Los Angeles Kings player, which would mean that all of my money and time would have been used to acquire physical cards that I wouldn't want to collect...
