2017-18 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey hobby box

What are these options?

Hobby Box: The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.
Retail Box: A full box of the individual packs sold loose at big-box stores, often 24 of them. Same base set as the hobby version, with fewer or no guaranteed hits.
Tin: A decorated metal box holding a handful of packs, often with a bonus card inside. The packs are standard product; the tin and its extras are the draw.
Cases: The factory-sealed carton a product ships in, holding a set number of boxes. A full case is the whole carton; an inner case is a smaller sealed block from inside it. Case buyers get untouched pack sequencing and a lower price per box. Some rare cards are seeded about once per case, which is what collectors mean by a case hit.

Frequently asked

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.

When did 2017-18 Upper Deck Series 2 come out?

It dropped February 14, 2018.
