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.
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.
These are the best prices we could find for this product across the 27 retailers we follow for
2023-24 Upper Deck Ice, checked daily. Prices move constantly and stock sells
out; always confirm on the retailer’s own page before buying.
For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.
Q2What's the main draw of 2023-24 Ice?
Ice Premieres, the acetate rookie cards. They come numbered to different print runs (999 down to 99) based on how big the prospect is, so top rookies are way scarcer. Plus you get a guaranteed autograph or memorabilia card per box, which is solid for the price point.
Q3How many rookies are in the base set?
Fifty rookies in the main base set, numbered 101-150, and they pull one per pack. There are also five Extended Rookies that are 1:60 packs. Ice Premieres adds another 100 rookies on acetate, so there's a ton of rookie content.
Q4What are the parallel tiers?
Base cards have Green (1:2 packs), Purple (1:6 packs), Ice Blue (1:144 packs for vets, 1:216 for rookies), Greyscale (/99), and Black (1/1). Ice Premieres parallels are different: Blue (/799), Green (/299), Gold (/25), and Black (1/1).
Q5Is there a rip card in this product?
Yeah, Frozen in Ice is back. It looks like a regular insert but you can open it up to pull an exclusive Ice Premieres Mini acetate card. It's a fun gimmick if you hit one.
Q6What autograph sets should I know about?
Glacial Graphs (1:288 packs) and Signature Swatches (1:576 packs) are the main autograph inserts. There are also Ice Premieres autographs and autograph patch cards, plus high-end Exquisite Collection stuff like Future Legacy Quad Material Autos and 2003-04 Rookie Auto Patch cards.
Q7How does Sub Zero work?
It's a 70-card set with 25 veterans and 45 rookies. Most pull at 1:22 packs, but five top rookies have variation versions that are 1:550 packs. You get one Sub Zero card per box on average.
Q8What are the new inserts this year?
Depth of Winter and Snow Men are the new die-cut sets. Depth of Winter pulls about 3 per box (2 vets, 1 rookie) with nature backgrounds. Snow Men are shaped like snowmen and look ahead a couple seasons.
