Frequently asked

Who's 2024-25 Upper Deck SP Authentic for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What's the main chase in 2024-25 SP Authentic?
Future Watch Autographs are the centerpiece. These rookie cards are numbered to 999 and feature on-card autographs from top prospects like Macklin Celebrini, Connor Bedard, and other first-year players. You're guaranteed one per box on average.
How many autographs come in a hobby box?
Two autographs per box on average. One is typically a Future Watch Autograph rookie, and the second is an additional autograph from sets like Sign of the Times, Chirography, or UD Authentics.
What are the base set parallels?
Veterans have Limited Red (1:2 packs), Limited Gold (/99), and Limited Black (1/1). Rookies in Future Watch have Red (1:2 packs), Blue (/399), Green (/199), Gold (/99), and Black (1/1) parallels, though these are non-autographed versions.
What's the Spectrum FX Bounty program?
Spectrum FX cards are part of Upper Deck's Bounty program. Collectors who complete the 91-card set and register it online get nine exclusive cards not found in packs. The first 50 to finish also receive a Gold parallel set (/50) and a special bonus.
What inserts should I expect to pull?
Common inserts include Pageantry (1:3 packs), Freshman Focus (1:3 packs), Collaborations (1:5 packs), and Maximum Performance (1:5 packs). Premium inserts like Holofoils (1:160 packs) and Sign of the Times multi-signed cards are tougher pulls.
How does the base set break down?
The 200-card base set splits evenly: 100 veterans (Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Sidney Crosby, etc.) and 100 Future Watch rookies. Most Future Watch rookies are autographed, but all base versions are numbered to 999.
What makes Sign of the Times special?
Sign of the Times is a multi-signed autograph set with deep tradition in SP Authentic. Single-signed cards pull at 1:32 packs, but there are also dual (/25), triple (/15), quad (/10), six-player (/6), and eight-player (/5) versions. Sign of the Times Rookies are extremely rare at 1:864 packs.
Is there a case hit in this product?
No case-hit autographs are mentioned in the product specs. The two autographs per box on average are distributed across Future Watch Autographs and additional autograph inserts, making it a consistent pull rather than a case-level rarity.
