Frequently asked

Who's 2023-24 Upper Deck Series 1 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 changed in 2023-24 Series 1 compared to previous years?
This is a major redesign. Packs went from 8 cards to 12 cards, and boxes dropped from 24 packs to 12 packs. You get fewer total cards per box but more inserts per pack. Young Guns stayed at six per box despite the smaller box size.
What are the key rookies to chase?
Young Guns cards (#201-250) are the main rookie chase. The set includes 49 Young Guns total. Notable rookies include Matthew Knies and other top prospects from the 2023 draft class. Young Guns pull at 1:2 hobby packs.
How many inserts should I expect per box?
You'll get roughly 10-12 non-base cards per box on average. That includes six Young Guns, four UD Canvas, two 200' x 85' inserts, plus Honor Roll, UD Portraits, Dazzlers, Special Edition, Star Surge, Star Zone, and other themed inserts. The exact mix varies.
What are the parallel tiers for base cards?
Series 1 has seven parallel levels: Outburst Silver (1:30 hobby), Clear Cut (1:48 hobby), Deluxe (/250), Exclusives (/100), Outburst Red (/25), High Gloss (/10), and Outburst Gold (1/1). Young Guns have the same parallels available.
Does this product have autographs?
No. Series 1 is a base and insert-heavy product with no guaranteed autographs. It's designed for collectors who want volume and variety rather than hits.
What makes UD Canvas special?
UD Canvas is a 120-card insert set featuring top stars and Young Guns with a painted art style. You'll pull about four per box. The real chase is the hard-signed and hand-numbered UD Canvas Signatures cards, which are extremely rare.
Are there any new insert sets this year?
Yes. New inserts include 200' x 85' (Lite FX cards with a rink backdrop), Star Surge (rising stars), Star Zone (veteran stars), Special Edition (elegant designs), Stat Box Fillers, and Teacher's Pet (report card themed). Most have rare die-cut or numbered parallels.
