Q1What makes 2019-20 SP Game Used different from other hockey products?
This is a premium, hits-focused product where four of the six cards in every box are autographs or memorabilia. The base set is also notoriously tough, with each card numbered to the player's jersey number, making even base pulls scarce.
Q2What are the key rookies in this set?
The Authentic Rookies subset (cards 101-200) features the 2019-20 rookie class, including Kaapo Kakko, Cale Makar, Jack Hughes, and Quinn Hughes. These are numbered to birth year and have their own parallel tiers.
Q3How do the base card parallels work?
Veterans have Orange Rainbow (/100 plus years in NHL), Rainbow (/275), Black Rainbow (/5), and Green Snow Storm (1/1). Rookies use Rainbow (/200 plus birth year), Orange Rainbow (/100 plus draft year), Black Rainbow (/5), and Green Snow Storm (1/1). Printing Plates are also available for all base cards.
Q4What are the rarest autograph pulls?
Green Snow Storm Autographs are 1/1. Black Autographs are /5. Premium versions like Red Spectrum Auto Premium and Purple Spectrum Auto Tag have very limited print runs (typically /3 to /15). Game-Used Pucks from major events are 1:780 packs.
Q5Are there any special event memorabilia cards?
Yes. Net Cord cards exist for the 2019 All-Star Game, Stadium Series, Winter Classic, and Stanley Cup Finals. All-Star Skills Competition has Fabrics (1:3 packs), Dual and Quad Fabrics (1:120 each), and various patch versions. Stadium Series Fabrics are 1:12 packs.
Q6What's the difference between Inked Sweaters and Showcase Standout?
Inked Sweaters combine signatures and memorabilia, numbered /99 with scarcer Patch (/15) and Tag (/2) versions. Showcase Standout cards are 1:4 packs and have Patch (/25), Jersey Auto (/50 or /25), and Patch Auto (/10) parallels.
