Frequently asked

Who's 2020-21 Upper Deck The Cup for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What makes 2020-21 The Cup worth opening?
Every hobby box is guaranteed three autographs, including at least one rookie autograph patch card. That's the draw. You're paying for premium hits, not filler.
Who are the key rookies to chase?
Kirill Kaprizov and Alexis Lafreniere headline the class. Both appear on Rookie Autograph Patch cards and across multiple insert sets like Rookie Class of 2021 and Exquisite Collection Rookie Auto Patch.
How do the base card parallels work?
Veterans and non-autograph rookies are numbered to 249. Select base cards come in Gold Foil Autographs (/8), Gold Foil Patch (/8), Red Foil Tag (/4), Green Foil Button (/3), Black Foil (1/1), and other foil versions. Rookie Autograph Patches have their own parallel tiers ranging from /24 down to 1/1.
What's the difference between Brilliance and Day with the Cup?
Brilliance is a shadow box design with acetate, hitting 1:9 packs. Day with the Cup is the classic Cup insert with on-card signatures at 1:25 packs. Both are autographed, but Brilliance is more frequent and has a distinct look.
Are there any new inserts this year?
Yes. Chemical Composition Outer Core Auto Jersey (base /35, Inner Core patch /15) and Signature Home/Away Unis (rookie /49, vet /35) are new. Lamp Lighters is also new, a die-cut celebrating goal scorers.
