Frequently asked

Who's 2018-19 Upper Deck Artifacts 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 2018-19 Artifacts different from other Upper Deck hockey sets?

Artifacts is a pre-season release that leans heavily into autographs and memorabilia instead of base cards. It's designed around chase inserts like Aurum and Rookie Redemptions, plus it guarantees one redemption per box.

What are the key rookie cards in this set?

The main rookies are Casey Mittelstadt, Ryan Donato, and Adam Gaudette, who all debuted late in 2017-18. They appear in the base Rookies subset (/999) and also have Top 12 Rookie Signatures autograph cards at 1:1,200 packs.

How do Rookie Redemptions work?

You get one redemption per box. There are 40 different cards (one per team plus wild cards) at 1:9 packs odds. You redeem them after the season and receive the actual rookie card of a player from that team who debuted that year.

What's the Aurum Bounty program?

Complete all 48 Aurum insert cards and you can claim a prize. The first 25 collectors to finish get exclusive Aurum White cards and a Wayne Gretzky autographed Aurum White card. After that, finishers get two bonus Aurum cards.

What are the base set parallels?

Ruby (/299 for most, /399 for Rookies), Emerald (/99), Aqua (/45), Purple (/20), and Black (/5). Many base cards also get autograph and memorabilia versions with their own print runs.

Who are the Stars cards and why do they matter?

The Stars subset (#101-130) features elite players like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, and Alexander Ovechkin, all numbered to /699. They're serial-numbered inserts that pull randomly in packs.

What's included in a typical hobby box?

Eight packs with four cards each. You'll get three autographs, memorabilia, or Aurum inserts combined, one Rookie Redemption, and about four serial-numbered base cards on average.

What are the best inserts in 2018-19 Upper Deck Artifacts?

Worth keeping an eye out for: Aurum (1:20 packs (common), 1:640 packs (All-Stars and Holdover Rookies)), Rookie Redemptions (1:9 packs), Top 12 Rookie Signatures (1:1,200 packs), Lord Stanley's Legacy (Jersey 1:160 packs, Signatures 1:288 packs), Tundra Teammates (Duos /199, Quads /99), Honored Hopefuls.
