A Powerhouse Start

This is my second blaster box to open of 2022 AEW Upper Deck and I am hoping we will be able to continue on with the base set build and maybe get a few additional sweet inserts on the way. In the first box, picked up about 1/3 of the 100 card base set, so hopefully over the halfway mark when this one is done.

I must say, the box and pack are very good for the product, I like them, and hopefully will like what's inside as well!

We start with all new for me base cards - a great start, and specifically Powerhouse Hobbs. After spending about a decade on the independents, he came to AEW in 2020, and by 2022 he was a mainstay in the company and his powerhouse style was doing him well. Fast forward to 2025, and he is still with the company and continues to make an impact.

I'd normally focus on the gold Jericho parallel or the MJF Main Features cards as these are both great, new for me inserts, but the Powerhouse Breakouts card is likely the big hit from the box. With the odds for these cards being one per 72 packs, likely not going to top this one. There are some shorter print ones, like CM Punk, which are more rare to pick up, but I'm good with this one - awesome pull and a great first pack from the blaster!
