Frequently asked

Who's 2017-18 Upper Deck Series 2 for?
For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.
What are the key rookies in Series 2?
Nolan Patrick (second overall in 2017 draft) and Clayton Keller (seventh overall in 2016) lead the Young Guns checklist. Both appear in the base Young Guns subset and also in UD Canvas Young Guns, which is a tougher pull at 1:48 packs.
How many Young Guns will I pull per box?
You'll get six Young Guns per hobby box on average, inserted at 1:4 packs. They're numbered #451-500 in the base set.
Does this box have guaranteed autographs?
No. Upper Deck shifted away from guaranteed hits in their flagship hockey release. Rookie Materials land every other box, but there's no autograph guarantee.
What's the deal with UD Canvas?
UD Canvas is a set-within-a-set that lands 1:6 packs (about four per box). It has four subsets: veterans (1:7 packs), Young Guns (1:48 packs), Team Canada (1:192 packs), and retired players (1:192 packs). There's also a scarce Steve Yzerman autograph with only 19 copies.
What's the rarest insert to chase?
Day with the Cup is the toughest pull at 1:1,000 packs. These short-prints feature Pittsburgh Penguins players with the Stanley Cup and are highly sought by collectors.
What parallels are in the base set?
Clear Cut (1:90 packs, hobby exclusive), Exclusives (/100), High Gloss (/10), and Printing Plates (1/1 in four color versions: Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow).
How does Series 2 compare to Series 1?
Series 2 adds another 250 cards (bringing the total to 500), with the first 200 being veterans and the final 50 being Young Guns. It introduces fresh inserts like Fluorescence and Rookie Breakouts while keeping familiar ones like UD Canvas and Clear Cut.
