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.
Blaster Box
The small retail box sold at stores like Walmart and Target, usually the cheapest full box on the shelf. Autographs are not guaranteed, but many blasters carry exclusive parallels you cannot pull from a hobby box.
Retail Box
A full box of the individual packs sold loose at big-box stores, often 24 of them. Same base set as the hobby version, with fewer or no guaranteed hits.
Hanger Box
The cheapest retail format, a slim box made to hang on a store peg. It gives the most cards per dollar and suits set builders more than hit chasers.
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 21 retailers we follow for
2020-21 Upper Deck Allure, 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 are the key rookie cards to chase?
The big names are Alexis Lafreniere, Kirill Kaprizov, Tim Stutzle, Dylan Cozens, Ilya Sorokin, and Bowen Byram. Lafreniere is card 100 in the base set and also appears as an XRC redemption. Jason Robertson (card 82) and Nick Robertson (card 99) are also popular pulls.
Q3How many autographs should I expect per box?
You'll get 1 autograph per box on average. The odds vary by player tier and insert set, ranging from 1:35 packs for some base autos to 1:445 for Allure Quartz rookies.
Q4What's the deal with the SP Rookies?
Cards 101-150 are SP (short print) rookies that fall 1 per pack on average. They're tougher to pull than the first 100 base cards but not as scarce as the extended rookies (XRCs). They have their own parallel tiers including Red, Double Rainbow, Green Quartz, Purple Diamond, and Golden Treasures.
Q5What are the rarest parallels?
The Golden Treasures parallels are 1-of-1s. Purple Diamond Die-Cut cards are numbered to 10, and Blue Line parallels are numbered to 35. For autos, the Golden Treasure Auto Patch and Purple Diamond Auto Patch are the hardest to find.
Q6How do the base set parallels work?
There are 10+ parallel tiers ranging from common (Black Rainbow at 1:2) to ultra-rare (Golden Treasures 1/1). Most fall at predictable rates like Red Rainbow (1:4), Orange Slice (1:8), and Steel (1:80). The numbered parallels like Blue Line (/35) and Green Quartz (/99) are fixed print runs.
Q7What makes Allure different from other Upper Deck chrome releases?
Allure uses a metallic chrome stock with heavy parallel emphasis and a balanced mix of veterans and rookies. The insert lineup is deep with four new sets in 2020-21 (Grand Entrance, Diagnostics, City Celly, and Base Photo Variations), plus returning favorites like Iced Out and Allure Quartz Auto.
Q8Are there redemption cards in this product?
Yes, XRC Redemption cards exist for five top 2021-22 rookies (Alexander Romanov, Dylan Cozens, Ilya Sorokin, Kirill Kaprizov, and Tim Stutzle) at 1:640 packs. These are redeemable for future cards of those players.
Q9What are the best inserts in 2020-21 Upper Deck Allure?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Allure Quartz Auto (1:250 packs), Grand Entrance (1:4 packs), Iced Out (1:8 packs), City Celly (1:11 packs), Diagnostics (1:11 packs), Base Set Photo Variations (1:500 packs).
