Frequently asked
Who's 2018-19 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 product?
The marquee Young Guns are Rasmus Dahlin (first overall pick), Elias Pettersson, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Ryan Donato. Dahlin and Pettersson are the most sought after. Young Guns average 1:4 hobby packs, with six landing in each box.
How many autographs should I expect per box?
Autographs are not a hobby box guarantee. They fall as a case hit, meaning roughly one autograph per 12-box case. When they do appear, they come as Signature Sensations (1:288 packs), UD Canvas Signatures, or the ultra-rare Ceremonial Puck Drop Signatures (1:16,000).
What's the base set like?
The base set has 200 veteran cards (#1-200) with minimal design elements and full-bleed photography. Young Guns rookies make up cards #201-250. Base parallels include Clear Cut acetate (1:72), Exclusives (/100), and High Gloss (/10).
What inserts hit most often?
The most common inserts are Stonewalled (goaltenders, 1:6), UD Portraits (1:6), and 25 Under 25 (1:12). UD Canvas is also regular at 1:7 for veterans. Shooting Stars varies by position, with Centers at 1:64 being the easiest.
Is this a set-building product or a hit-chasing product?
Series 1 is designed around set-building and Young Guns collection rather than autographs or memorabilia. While hits exist, they're scarce. Most collectors open this to chase Young Guns parallels and complete the base set.
What are Triple Exposure Variations?
These are short-print variations of select base cards using Upper Deck's classic triple-exposure printing technique. Print runs and insertion rates were not announced, making them a surprise pull.
How do the Young Guns parallels work?
Young Guns can pull as Clear Cut acetate (1:72), Exclusives (/100), or High Gloss (/10). Young Guns also have their own UD Canvas versions that hit roughly every other box, making them more accessible than veteran Canvas cards.
When did 2018-19 Upper Deck Series 1 come out?
It dropped November 8, 2018.
What's in a 2018-19 Upper Deck Series 1 hobby box?
24 packs per box, 8 cards per pack
