Frequently asked
Who's 2019-20 Upper Deck Credentials for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What are the key rookie cards to chase?
Cale Makar, Kaapo Kakko, Kirby Dach, Quinn Hughes, and Jack Hughes are the top-tier rookies in the Debut Ticket Access set. Makar and Kakko are particularly sought after. All rookies are numbered short prints ranging from /999 down to /299 depending on tier.
How do the Debut Ticket Access parallels work?
Base Debut Ticket Access rookies come in four tiers: Tier 1 (/999), Tier 2 (/699), Tier 3 (/499), and Tier 4 (/299). Each tier also has Red (/99), Green (/25), Purple (/10), and Black (1/1) parallels. Tier 3 and 4 also have Acetate versions and Acetate Autographs.
What's the deal with the metal and acetate cards?
Every hobby box includes either a metal or acetate insert. Steel Wheels are the metal cards with a reflective skate blade look. Through the Boards and other inserts use acetate stock to create a see-through effect. These special materials are part of what makes Credentials stand out.
How many autographs should I expect per box?
Hobby boxes contain 1-2 autographs on average. These can be Debut Ticket Access Autographs (rookies), Ticket Access Autographs (veterans), Star of the Night Autographs, or other auto inserts depending on what you pull.
What's the base set like?
The base set is compact with just 50 veteran cards, each with four parallels: Red (/199), Green (/99), Purple (/25), and Black (/5). The design is clean and straightforward, focusing on the stars of the league like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, and Auston Matthews.
Are there any other notable inserts besides the rookies?
Yes. Rookie Science falls 1:2 packs and is one of the easiest hits. Star of the Night honors post-game stars at 1:15 (vets) or 1:20 (rookies). Pro Visions brings back fantasy art from the early 1990s at 1:120 packs. Steel Wheels metal cards hit 1:16 packs.
How does Credentials compare to Panini Contenders?
Credentials is Upper Deck's answer to Contenders. Both use a ticket-themed design for rookies and focus on autographs and special materials. Credentials adds metal and acetate stock as a differentiator, while Contenders is more established in the hobby.
What's the total set size?
The set is 150 cards total: 50 veteran base cards and 100 Debut Ticket Access rookies. With all the parallels and autograph versions, there's plenty of chase content.
When did 2019-20 Upper Deck Credentials come out?
It dropped April 29, 2020.
