The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.
These are the best prices we could find for this product across the 9 retailers we follow for
2018-19 Upper Deck Synergy, checked daily. Prices move constantly and stock sells
out; always confirm on the retailer’s own page before buying.
For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.
Q2What makes Synergy different from other Upper Deck hockey sets?
Synergy is built around ultra-low-numbered base cards and parallels rather than guaranteed autographs or memorabilia. Every base card is numbered to 19 or fewer copies, and parallels come in four colors (Red, Blue, Green, Purple) with varying print runs. It's a set-building challenge, not a hit-chasing product.
Q3Who are the key rookie cards?
The Tier 3 rookies are the marquee pulls: Rasmus Dahlin, Elias Pettersson, Andrei Svechnikov, Brady Tkachuk, Carter Hart, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Eeli Tolvanen. These are numbered to just 9 copies on the base card and are the hardest rookies to pull.
Q4How do the base card tiers work?
Veterans (#1-31) are numbered to 18, Legends (#32-40) to 8, and Rookies split into three tiers. Tier 1 rookies (#41-75) are /19, Tier 2 (#76-90) are /19, and Tier 3 (#91-100) are /9. The lower the print run, the tougher the pull.
Q5What's the Bounty program?
Some Red parallels have Bounty codes on the back. Collectors who complete a full set of 100 Red cards with codes get an exclusive metal Cast for Greatness card. The first 50 to finish also receive a full set of Cast for Greatness Gold parallels (/10) that don't appear in packs.
Q6Are autographs common in Synergy?
No. Autographs are 1:24 packs, which works out to roughly one per three boxes. This is a product for set builders and parallel chasers, not collectors primarily hunting signatures.
Q7What are Cast for Greatness cards?
These are metal cards, not traditional cardstock, making them visually unique. They're among the toughest pulls at 1:67 packs. They come in regular and Black (/35) versions, and completing the Bounty program unlocks exclusive Gold parallels.
Q8How many inserts should I expect per box?
Inserts land at roughly one per pack, so you'll pull about 8 inserts per box. These include Exceptional Talent (2 per box), PostSeason Perfection, Last Line of Defense, Significant Selections, and the rare Cast for Greatness metal cards.
Q9When did 2018-19 Upper Deck Synergy come out?
It dropped February 27, 2019.
