Frequently asked

Who's 2023-24 Upper Deck MVP for?
A solid first box. Cheap to crack, fun to rip, and you'll still land the year's rookies without dropping serious cash.
What makes 2023-24 MVP different from other Upper Deck hockey products?
MVP is designed to be affordable and accessible. It's not complicated or expensive, making it a good entry point for collectors. The focus is on a clean 250-card base set with familiar players rather than heavy chase elements.
What are the key rookies and stars in this set?
The base set includes Connor McDavid (#35), Auston Matthews (#53), Sidney Crosby (#31), and other NHL stars. There are also 50 rookie short prints (#221-250) mixed into the base set that land about 1 per 2 hobby packs.
How do the base set parallels work?
Ice Battles are the most common at 1:2 packs. Silver Script comes at 1:5 packs. Super Script and Black Super Script are numbered (/25 and /5 respectively) and hobby-only. Printing Plates are 1/1 in four colors each. Short prints have their own parallel versions at different rates.
What's the best insert to chase in this product?
Stars of the Rink and 20th Anniversary are the main attractions. Stars of the Rink hits at 1:7 packs and features top talent. 20th Anniversary is also 1:5 packs and has a retro design that appeals to long-time collectors.
Are there autographs in 2023-24 MVP hobby boxes?
Autographs are extremely rare. Select high-number short prints have Magenta Autographs that fall at 1:400 packs, so they're not a guaranteed pull. This is not an autograph-focused product.
What should I expect to pull from a hobby box?
A typical box yields about 20 Ice Battles parallels, 5 Silver Script parallels, 10 base short prints, 4 each of 20th Anniversary and Ice Reps inserts, 5 combined Alternate Threads or Stars of the Rink, and 1-2 additional special cards.
How many cards are in the base set and what's the short print ratio?
The base set is 250 cards total. The first 200 are the shell set, and the remaining 50 are veteran and rookie short prints. Short prints land about 1 per 2 hobby packs, so they're not too hard to track down.
When did 2023-24 Upper Deck MVP come out?
It dropped August 10, 2023.
What's in a 2023-24 Upper Deck MVP hobby box?
20 packs per hobby box, 8 cards per pack (160 cards total per box)
