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 8 retailers we follow for
2018-19 Upper Deck Trilogy, 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 the rookies in this product special?
Each of the 29 rookies appears on three different base cards at escalating rarity levels. Common Level 1 cards are numbered to 999, Uncommon Level 2 autographs range from /399 to /149 depending on tier, and Rare Level 3 autographs are numbered to just 49. This tiered approach lets you chase the same player at different price points.
Q3Which rookies are the biggest names in 2018-19 Trilogy?
Elias Pettersson, Andrei Svechnikov, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi are among the most sought after, with Pettersson and Svechnikov commanding the highest prices. Brady Tkachuk, Miro Heiskanen, and Rasmus Dahlin are also key rookies. All 29 prospects are featured, but the top tier autographs of these names drive the secondary market.
Q4What's guaranteed in every box?
Every hobby box contains exactly 3 autograph or memorabilia cards, with at least 1 being an autograph. That could be a rookie autograph, a Signature Puck, a plexiglass insert like Ice Scripts or Auto Focus, or a Tryptich autograph.
Q5How do the Signature Pucks work?
Regular Signature Pucks hit at 1:18 packs and feature autographed pucks of NHL stars. Thematic versions (Hall of Fame, Stanley Cup Champions, Trophy Winners, and All-Star) are much rarer at 1:560 packs. Parallels with Team Logos or NHL Shield Logos are numbered to 19, 10, or 3 copies depending on the theme.
Q6What are the plexiglass autograph inserts?
Trilogy includes four plexiglass autograph sets: Ice Scripts (1:85 packs), Auto Focus (1:800), Personal Scripts (1:800), and Scripted Hall of Fame Plaques (hand-numbered to 25). These are premium inserts with signatures signed directly on clear substrate, making them visually distinct from traditional cards.
Q7What's the 2003-04 15th Anniversary Retro Rookies insert?
This commemorates the original 2003-04 Trilogy release by featuring 2018-19 rookies on the classic design. Base versions are numbered to 599, with autograph versions at 1:99. Jersey, Auto Patch, Black, and Black Autograph parallels are also available at varying print runs.
Q8How many cards are in a box and what's the base set size?
Each box has 8 packs with 4 cards per pack, totaling 32 cards. The base set itself is small at just 50 veteran cards, plus 29 different rookie cards at three tiers each, giving the product a focused, premium feel.
Q9When did 2018-19 Upper Deck Trilogy come out?
It dropped January 9, 2019.
Q10What's in a 2018-19 Upper Deck Trilogy hobby box?
