no sense sitting on retail or hobby, Topps produced plenty more of Round 2 than rd 1, and you can see that already with hobby boxes now in the $80 range, especially if Uncaged comes out on 2/24, like expected( I know, I know) I would def. sell the retail, you only get 1 relic OR 1 auto, and the odds of autos are pretty high, then again, me and my brother bought 8 packs out of a rummaged through retail box at target and pulled a Rich Franklin auto, so you never know.

Thanks for the advice everybody.  Getting the retail boxes was an accident in the first place.  I didn't pay attention to the fine print about it it being a retail until the day after I bought them and they had shipped.  One auto and one relic for 24 packs seems ridiculous.  I am going to have to fight the urge to open up some of them though, because I haven't cracked boxes of cards in a long time, much less UFC cards.  My most regrettable thing is that I missed round 1 entirely.  I didn't know about it until the prices blew up.  Anyhow, I do hope that I can turn some sort of profit somehow with this round, but there seems to be a huge quantity of these compared to R1. 

To answer allan's question, my favorite fighter is without a doubt GSP.  I didn't jump on the bandwagon either.  I have been pulling for him for awhile.  Some of my other favorites are Griffin, Machida, Couture, Arlovski, W. Silva, Huerta, Guida, Penn, and Faber.

I would re sell your retail and try to gain that money back.   Sit on your hobby.  

Retail boxes are horrible IMO.   You might complete a base set currently selling for $10 or less.   You get one hit and that could end up being a card that has a hard time getting a $1 bid.  

There is always luck, but retail sucks.   I'm selling my boxes for $50 even though I bought them direct from Topps for 69.99.   You will never pull 69.99 out of a box unless you have awesome luck.  

Hobby boxes contain a chance at the Nickname Red Autos and could possibly hold their value, but with the rate of new releases, I doubt it.   I definitely think they are worth more as lottery tickets than cracked crap.  

I speak strongly because I've probably invested more than anyone I know.
