CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS

 

•    Refresher on the Refresh! We made notable changes to the Upper Deck Series to deliver an even more compelling collecting experience! The changes:

 

o    An improved insert-to-base card ratio in each pack. Each pack now contains three (3) inserts, on average.

 

o    The introduction of a stunning base set parallel, which also means more Young Guns® cards to chase!

 

And while we changed the configuration (cards per pack/packs per box), each box still contains at least one (1) Young Guns® card, on average!

 

•    Series 2 sports the next 250 cards (251-500) of the 2023-24 Upper Deck base set. Annually, the Upper Deck base set is the most widely-collected base set in hockey. The set includes 198 veteran cards, 49 Young Guns® cards (the most anticipated rookie cards of the season!) and three checklist cards. Keep an eye out for Outburst parallels!

 

•    Fans and collectors alike will be blown away by the UD Portraits cards! The 2023-24 version of this classic insert portrays star veterans and rookies like you've never seen them before! No two player portraits are the same. Series 2 hosts the final 30 cards of the 2023-24 UD Portraits set!

 

•    UD Canvas®, an intra-series set that is a longtime favorite amongst collectors, features a collection of the top stars in the game today, the best of the Young Guns® and, in Series 2 only, short-printed Retired and Program of Excellence (rookies that have played for Team Canada) subsets. Series 2 contains the next 150 cards (C121 – C270) of the 2023-24 set. 

 

•    New Insert Sets! The latest edition of Series 2 sports an impressive lineup of new insert sets sure to please everyone, from the casual fan to the avid collector:

 

o    Director of Boards: This set showcases some of the more physical players in the game today.

 

o    Ecliptic: Top stars and rookies are pictured shooting the puck in this all-new set.  

 

o    Instinctive: Goalie fans will dig this set showing top goalies making a save! Collect one (1) per box, on average.

 

o    PC's: This superstar-laden set boasts arguably the best player from each team along with three extra superstars! Collect one (1) per box, on average.  

 

    For each set above, there are also Sparkle and rare Gold Sparkle parallels to collect!

 

o    Deep Roots: This set showcases 50 foundational players! Collect one (1) Deep Roots card per box, on average.

 

o    Glaring: Each card in this rare set features a close-up image of the eyes of a star player!  

 

o    Monster Season: This special set commemorates Connor McDavid's 2022-23 season, which culminated with his third Hart Memorial Trophy win! There is a card for each of his 82 regular season games played - each with a photo from, and some text about, the game.  

 

•    The popular Honor Roll® and Dazzlers inserts are back! Both are intra-series sets, but the Honor Roll® set ends in Series 2, so be sure to complete this 2023-24 set! In Series 1, the checklists consisted of only star veterans, but for Series 2, the Honor Roll® checklist is comprised solely of rookies while the Dazzlers checklist features more star veterans with some rookies sprinkled in. Each box will contain, on average, one (1) Honor Roll® card and one (1) Green Dazzlers card. The Green Dazzlers cards are only available in Blasters!

 

 

•    The O-Pee-Chee Glossy insert features star veterans and top rookies. Collect at least one (1) per box, on average, and keep an eye out for Gold parallels!
