Frequently asked

Who's 2016-17 Upper Deck Series 2 for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What are the key rookie cards in this box?
The main chase is Young Guns, which you'll pull six per box. The biggest names are Patrik Laine, Mitch Marner, Auston Matthews, Dylan Strome, and Brayden Point. You'll also find UD Canvas Young Guns versions of Matthews, William Nylander, and others, which are much tougher to pull.
How many autographs should I expect per box?
Autographs are seeded at 1:576 packs for both UD Signatures and O-Pee-Chee Update Signatures, which works out to roughly one autograph per three boxes on average. There's also a special UD Canvas Pavel Bure autograph limited to 10 copies.
What makes Clear Cut parallels special?
Clear Cut is a hobby-exclusive PETG acetate parallel that falls 1 in 90 packs for regular base cards and 1 in 360 for Young Guns. They're visually distinct and numbered, making them a solid secondary chase after the base Young Guns.
What's Day with the Cup and why is it so hard to pull?
Day with the Cup is a commemorative insert celebrating the 2015-16 Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. It's seeded at 1:1,000 packs, making it one of the toughest hits in the product. Penguins fans especially hunt for these.
How does the O-Pee-Chee Update set work?
O-Pee-Chee Update is a retro-styled insert with veteran and rookie versions. Rookies hit 1:6 packs. The hobby-exclusive Red Border parallels are extremely rare (1:300 for rookies, 1:1,200 for vets), and there are also Rainbow Foil and Black Border numbered parallels.
What's the difference between Series 1 and Series 2?
Series 2 covers cards 251-500 and includes the second half of the Young Guns rookies. Upper Deck saved some of the top prospects like Laine, Marner, and Strome for Series 2, making it the more sought-after release for many collectors.
Are there any special parallels to the base set?
Yes. Beyond Clear Cut, you can pull Exclusives (/100), High Gloss (/10), and Printing Plates (1/1). These are hobby and e-Pack exclusives and add numbered punch to your pulls.
What are the best inserts in 2016-17 Upper Deck Series 2?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Young Guns (1:4 packs), UD Canvas (1:6 combined (1:7 vets, 1:48 Young Guns)), O-Pee-Chee Update (1:24 vets, 1:6 rookies), Day with the Cup (1:1,000 packs), Clear Cut PETG Parallels (1:90 base, 1:360 Young Guns), Rookie Breakouts.
