Frequently asked

Who's 2021-22 Upper Deck Premier for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What makes 2021-22 Premier worth opening?
Each box is guaranteed one acetate autograph patch card plus a second autograph, two memorabilia cards, and two base or parallel cards. It's a premium product built for collectors chasing hard-signed rookie autos and game-worn patches from top prospects like Cole Caufield and Moritz Seider.
What are the key rookie cards to hunt?
The 2021-22 rookie class includes Cole Caufield, Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and Trevor Zegras. These appear in the base set (numbered to 399) and across multiple acetate autograph patch tiers, with Gold and Platinum parallels available.
How do the base set parallels work?
The 150-card base set breaks into Veterans (/299), Legends (/99), and Rookies (/399). Parallels include Gold (Veterans /65, Legends /25, Rookies /65), Bronze (Rookies /199), Purple (Rookies /10), and Platinum (1/1) versions.
What's the deal with acetate cards?
Acetate Rookie Patch Autos are the centerpiece of Premier. They come in regular, Gold (/65 or /35), and ultra-rare Platinum (1/1) versions. Horizontal acetate RPAs flip the design landscape, and 2002-03 Rookie Patch Autos recreate the original Premier design with current rookies.
Are there other autograph inserts besides acetate?
Yes. Premier Signature Seating is new for 2021-22 and features hard-signed autos from rookies (1:8 packs), veterans (1:10 packs), and legends (1:30 packs), with a Gold Section parallel limited to just 5 copies. 20th Anniversary Autographs also return, revisiting classic 2001-02 designs.
What memorabilia options are in the product?
Premier Mega Patch cards showcase oversized swatches like chest logos and sleeve numbers. Premier Gear offers multi-jersey options, and Dual, Triple, and Quad Jersey and Patch combinations are available. Premier Rookie Auto Jersey, Patch, and Logo Patch cards feature four memorabilia die-cuts shaped into '2021.'
What legends are featured in the base set?
The Legends section (cards 91-100) includes Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Joe Sakic, Martin Brodeur, Sergei Zubov, Henrik Zetterberg, Vincent Lecavalier, Teemu Selanne, Martin St. Louis, and Wendel Clark.
How rare are the lowest-numbered parallels?
The rarest parallels are Platinum (1/1) cards across all categories. Other scarce options include Fight Strap (/5 for veterans, /15 for rookies), Neckline (/3), and Premier Gear Button-Tag (1/1). These ultra-low print runs make them serious chase cards.
