Frequently asked

Who's 2018-19 Upper Deck Engrained 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 in this set?
The 2018-19 class is strong. Elias Pettersson is the marquee rookie, but you've also got Rasmus Dahlin, Brady Tkachuk, Andrei Svechnikov, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi. All base rookies are numbered to 299, and they pull at 1 per pack.
How many autographs come in each box?
Every box has 3 autographs or memorabilia cards. One is guaranteed to be a Signature Shots card. The other two vary but can include Signature Remnants, Complete Sticks Signatures, or premium parallels.
What makes Signature Remnants so special?
These are game-used stick memorabilia from over 50 Hall of Famers including Gretzky, Lemieux, Roy, Beliveau, and Sawchuk. Current stars like McDavid, Crosby, and Pastrnak are also featured. They're numbered to 100 or less, and signed versions are even scarcer.
What are Dual Stick Nameplates?
These are one-of-one memorabilia cards that pair a legend with a current star using actual stick nameplates. Examples include Gretzky/McDavid, Lemieux/Crosby, and Sakic/Bourque. They're among the most unique cards in the product.
How do the base card parallels work?
All 100 base cards are numbered to 299. Black parallels are numbered to 49. Premium parallels include autographs (1:3 for rookies, 1:8 for vets, 1:12 for legends) and memorabilia versions with varying print runs.
What's the wood theme all about?
The entire set is built around hockey sticks and engravings. Base cards are printed on faux wood stock. Signature Shots use carbon fiber or varnished wood as the signing area. Remnants showcase actual game-used stick pieces. It's a cohesive design concept throughout.
Is this a good value at $240-450 per box?
That depends on your goals. You're guaranteed 3 autos per box, which is solid. If you hit a Dual Stick Nameplate or a Signature Remnants from a Hall of Famer, you can make money back. Otherwise, it's a collector's product for the design and the rookie class.
What are the best inserts in 2018-19 Upper Deck Engrained?
