Frequently asked

Who's 2017-18 Upper Deck Series 1 for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What are the key rookies in this set?
The 50 Young Guns include Auston Matthews, Nico Hischier, and other top prospects. You'll pull about six Young Guns per box on average at a 1:4 pack rate.
How many cards are in the full set?
There are 250 cards total: 200 veteran base cards and 50 Young Guns rookies. The base set has several parallels including Clear Cut, Exclusives (/100), and High Gloss (/10).
What's the difference between UD Canvas and UD Canvas Signatures?
UD Canvas is a regular insert at 1:7 packs featuring veterans and some rookies. UD Canvas Signatures are autographed versions numbered to a player's uniform number, making them much scarcer.

No. Signature Sensations autographs come at 1:288 packs, which works out to roughly one per case (12 boxes). UD Game Jerseys are the easiest memorabilia pull at 1:36 packs.
What makes Centennial Standouts special?
These inserts celebrate NHL history and come at 1:5 packs. Some cards have rare photo variations that hit at 1:1,000, making them serious long-odds chases.

Base cards have multiple parallels: Clear Cut (1:72 packs, hobby only), Exclusives (/100), High Gloss (/10), and Printing Plates (1/1). Each parallel tier is numbered or limited differently.
What's the deal with Day with The Cup?
It's a long-odds insert at 1:2,000 packs, so you're looking at a case-level hit. Ceremonial Puck Drop is similarly tough at 1:2,000, with some versions autographed at 1:16,000.
