As long-time collectors of Upper Deck hockey cards know, there are always excellent variation sets to collect, including the very popular and enduring Snow Spray Auto variation. But that's not all! This new Series 1 edition also introduces three NEW variation sets.
NEW INSERTS! As always, Series 1 offers a multitude of exciting new themed insert sets. Here's a preview of some of them:
Opening Dates: This set commemorates the debuts of 20 top rookies. Each card indicates the date of the player's first game in the league, along with the name of their opponent. Each card also features a photo from that first game.
Here We Go!: This photo set captures star players—who may also be rivals—facing off in the face-off circle.
Both sets, available only in the first , are printed on foilboard. Each box contains an average of at least one card from each set. Also collect the Speckle parallel versions!
Electric Soul: These artistic cards are sure to make a splash! They are beautiful. Each features an image of a player in a single color on a background featuring their team's colors. To top it off, every player is among the best in the world!
Spirits of Youth: This set showcases 12 superstars (the best in the world!) and each backdrop is one of 12 original paintings by Presten Warren, an award-winning Indigenous artist and storyteller! Each painting was created exclusively for this set and features the players' team colors. This unique and captivating collaboration has produced a must-have set!
The cards from both sets feature the same rarity and quality as Bootleg cards!
Stencils: This stylish new set, with its deep and colorful parallel lineup, is truly one of a kind!
These cards feature no ink on the front! Each front displays only a stenciled bust image of the player, their last name and the Upper Deck logo—all on metallic foil!
The first 100 cards in this set will feature veteran stars and top rookies, with at least two players from each team.
Collect (4) of these cards in every box, on average, and look for the Red (numbered to 399), Yellow (numbered to 199), Green (numbered to 99), Blue (numbered to 50) and Purple (numbered to 25) parallels!
