Frequently asked

Who's 2020-21 Upper Deck Synergy 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 makes Synergy different from other Upper Deck hockey products?
Base cards are exceptionally rare and heavily numbered. Veterans, legends, and rookies are all numbered to 21 or fewer, so even pulling a base card feels like a hit. Autographs aren't guaranteed in every box either, which is unusual for a premium product.
What are the key rookie cards to chase?
The 60-card rookie section (#76–135) includes prospects like Alexis Lafreniere, Bowen Byram, Josh Norris, and Jason Robertson. Many carry autographs and are numbered to either /11 or /21 depending on tier, making them tough pulls.
How do the Red parallels work?
Red parallels are the most common cards you'll pull, averaging one per pack. Veterans hit 1:3 packs, legends 1:6, and rookies 1:2. Many Red cards have codes on the back for the Bounty program, which rewards collectors who complete the full 135-card Red set.
What's the Bounty program?
Collect all 135 Red parallel base cards and redeem the codes on the back at upperdeckbounty.com. The first 23 collectors get an exclusive Cast for Greatness card; the first 10 also receive a full set of 36 Cast for Greatness Gold cards; the first 5 get an additional Cast for Greatness Purple.
What are the odds of pulling an autograph?
Synergy Autographs pull 1:160 packs, so roughly one per case. Some inserts like Synergy FX, Cast for Greatness, and Star Quest also have signed versions, but those are even tougher. Base cards can carry autographs too, but they're scarce.
Are there any veteran or legend autographs?
Yes. The base set includes autographed cards of stars like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Auston Matthews, and Cale Makar, all numbered to /21. Legends like Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Bobby Orr also appear with autographs, numbered to /11.
What's the difference between the numbered tiers in the rookie section?
Rookies #76–125 are numbered to either /11 or /21 depending on the player. Rookies #126–135 are the toughest, numbered to /11 only, and pull much rarer (1:80 packs for Red parallels vs. 1:5 for the rest of the rookie class).
Is this a good value box?
Synergy is a premium product aimed at collectors who enjoy the hunt for rare base cards and inserts rather than guaranteed hits. If you're chasing specific rookies or veterans and enjoy the Bounty program, it's worth it. If you need autographs in every box, look elsewhere.
What are the best inserts in 2020-21 Upper Deck Synergy?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Synergy FX (3 per box), Exceptional Stars / Exceptional Young Stars / Exceptional Futures (4 per box total), Synergy Autographs (1:160 packs), Cast for Greatness (1:60 packs), Star Quest (1:64 packs), Red Parallel Base Cards (1 per pack average).
When did 2020-21 Upper Deck Synergy come out?
It dropped January 7, 2021.
