Frequently asked

Who's 2023-24 Upper Deck Series 2 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's the big rookie card in this set?

Connor Bedard's Young Guns rookie card (#451-500 range). It's one of 50 Young Guns in Series 2, and you'll pull about six per hobby box. Bedard's card is the flagship Upper Deck rookie for the generational prospect.

How many Young Guns are in a hobby box?

Six Young Guns per box on average, which works out to roughly one every other pack. They're short prints at 1:2 hobby packs, so you're guaranteed a decent hit rate on rookies.

What's the Monster Season insert?

An 82-card Connor McDavid subset where each card represents one game from his 2022-23 season with the Oilers. Every card has a different photo from that specific game and a recap. It's 1:15 packs, so you'll likely see a few per box.

Are there autographs in Series 2?

No. Series 2 is a base and insert-focused product with no autographs. If you're hunting for signed cards, you'll want to look at other Upper Deck products like Black or Artifacts.

What's the toughest insert to pull?

Day with the Cup at 1:2000 packs. It's a bonus card that shows up extremely rarely. Most collectors won't see one in a single box or even a case.

What are the main parallel sets?

Base cards have Outburst (1:15 packs), Clear Cut (1:48 packs), and numbered versions like Deluxe (/250), Exclusives (/100), Outburst Red (/25), High Gloss (/10), and Outburst Gold (1/1). Young Guns have their own parallel tiers too, including Clear Cut at 1:144 packs.

How does Series 2 compare to Series 1?

Series 2 adds another 250 cards to the base set (for a total of 500 across both series), plus 50 new Young Guns. It expands several insert sets from Series 1 like UD Canvas and UD Portraits, and introduces new inserts like Monster Season and Ecliptic.

What's UD Canvas and why do people chase it?

UD Canvas is an artistic insert set at 1:4 packs with subsets for Retired players (1:96), Program of Excellence (1:96), and Young Guns (1:24). It has exclusive Black and White and Printing Plate parallels that make it a popular chase for collectors who like the design.
