Low-end war: Score > Upper Deck.
This is the third pack from my FairField Hockey 4 Packs 50 Cards Plus Bonus box, which I paid approximately $1.57 for each product.
Unlike Upper Deck's low-end 2012-13 $0.99 crap that doesn't feature autographed or relic hits, 2012-13 Score Hockey features 99 different autographed cards, which is surprising considering that series also costs $0.99 per pack.
