After months of anticipation, it’s nearly release day for the 2023-24 Upper Deck Series 2 hobby boxes. While collectors have been grumbling about the increase in price, and rightly so, hockey fans can take solace in knowing that Upper Deck has mercifully listened to the masses and begun putting in better value inserts into their flagship product.
In addition to the usual 250 card base set, and 50 young guns short print rookies, fans can also expect parallels of each card, which finally include numbered colour variants.
- Outburst – 1:15 hobby packs, Young Guns – 1:60 hobby packs
- Clear Cut – 1:48 hobby packs, Young Guns – 1:144 hobby packs (hobby only)
- Deluxe – /250
- Exclusives – /100
- Outburst Red – /25
- High Gloss – /10
- Outburst Gold – 1/1
With Connor Bedard’s young guns SP included amongst the chase cards this year, collectors will be in full fledged “Bedard-mania” once hobby boxes hit the shelves. Even more enticing is the fact somewhere out there will be a 1/1 Bedard rookie, the first of its kind in the Hockey world.
While companies like Topps, and Panini have had 1 of 1 cards for years now, Upper Deck has mostly avoided getting into the numbered parallel market. However, with UD being exceptionally careful with how they’ve released Bedard featured cards over the last year, the Chicago standout’s 1 of 1 is the equivalent of a winning lottery ticket to whomever pulls it.
Here’s how the 2023-24 release shapes up as distributors begin preparing for release day on March 6th.
