Frequently asked

Who's 2022-23 Upper Deck Premier for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What's the main draw of 2022-23 Premier?
Every box is built around hard-signed autographs and premium memorabilia. You're guaranteed one acetate rookie or veteran auto patch card plus a second autograph, making it one of the most auto-heavy high-end products.
What are the key rookie cards?
The Acetate Rookie Auto Patch cards are the crown jewels, featuring top rookies with on-card signatures and oversized patch swatches. They come in base, Gold, and Platinum (1/1) versions. Horizontal Acetate Rookie Auto Patches offer a landscape twist on the same concept.
How does the base set work?
The 150-card base set breaks into three tiers: 90 veterans numbered to /299, 10 legends to /99, and 50 rookies to /399. All base cards are serial-numbered. Veterans and legends get Gold (/65 and /25 respectively) and Platinum (1/1) parallels, while rookies add Bronze (/199), Purple (/10), and Platinum.
What memorabilia cards should I know about?
Premier Mega Patch cards feature oversized uniform swatches from single or multiple players. Rookie Patch-Taculars focus on top rookies with jumbo patches. You'll also see Premier Gear, Premier Dual/Triple/Quad Jersey sets, and various relic parallels like Hockey Lace and Fight Strap.
