Frequently asked

Who's 2025-26 Upper Deck SPx 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's the main draw of 2025-26 SPx Hockey?
It's the rookie holograms and the deep parallel chase. You get 4 base rookies per box guaranteed, but the real hits are the hologram rookies (2 per case) and the Finite inserts with their rainbow of numbered parallels down to 1-of-1 Gold Spectrum.
Are there autographs in every box?
No. Autographs are chase hits only. You've got Cold Steel Signatures (1:270 packs), Typography (1:240 packs), Rookie Superscripts (1:120 packs), and Superscripts (1:160 packs), plus various insert autograph parallels. It's all about the luck of the draw.
What are the key rookie cards to hunt?
The base set rookies (#101-150) fall 4 per box, but the real chase is the Rookie Holograms (#151-165) with their Blue, Red, and Gold parallels. Players like Ivan Demidov, Zeev Buium, and Artyom Levshunov are featured on some of the most sought-after cards.
How do the base set parallels work?
The first 150 cards (vets and rookies) have Silver (1:4 packs), Gold (1:12 packs), and then numbered parallels: Resonance /150, Radiance /100, Grand Finale /50, Silver Spectrum /25, and Gold Spectrum /1. You'll pull about 3 Silver and 1 Gold per box on average.
What's special about the Finite insert?
Finite comes in both vet and rookie versions, all numbered to /999. It has the deepest parallel rainbow in the product, dropping down to /1 Gold Spectrum. You'll average 2 Finite cards per box, and the parallels are the real chase.
What's the 34.5 LBs insert?
It's a new die-cut insert that honors players who've won the Stanley Cup. The name comes from the weight of the Cup itself. It pulls at 1:13 packs and has Blue (/49) and Gold (/25) parallels, making it a solid mid-tier chase.
How does SPx Hockey compare to last year?
This year builds on the multi-pack format from last season. The big additions are the new autograph inserts (Cold Steel Signatures and Typography) and the 34.5 LBs insert. The overall structure and parallel strategy remain similar, so if you liked last year's SPx, you'll recognize the feel.
When did 2025-26 Upper Deck SPx come out?
It dropped May 6, 2026.
