Frequently asked

Who's 2015-16 Upper Deck SP Authentic for?

The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.

What makes 2015-16 SP Authentic worth opening?

This is Connor McDavid's rookie year, and his Future Watch autograph is one of the most chased cards in the hobby. You're also guaranteed three autographs per box on average, which is solid for a premium product. The mix of rookies, legends, and retro inserts keeps the product fresh.

What are the key rookie cards?

Connor McDavid and Dylan Larkin are the marquee rookies. Both have Future Watch autographs numbered to 999, plus base Authentic Moments rookie cards. Aaron Ekblad and Nikolaj Ehlers also have rookie cards in the set.

How do the parallels work?

Future Watch cards come in both unsigned and autographed versions. Autographed Future Watch Limited cards are numbered to 100, while regular Future Watch Limited are /25. Franchise Icons are /199, and there are also /50 Inscription variations on some Future Watch cards. Base cards have Limited parallels numbered to /25.

What's the deal with the 1995-96 SP Retro inserts?

Upper Deck brought back the design from the original 1995-96 SP set. You'll pull about two per box on average. There are also tougher Legends (1:60) and Premier Prospects (1:12) versions, plus a Gold Autograph treatment on the retro cards.

Are there any new autograph concepts in this product?

Yes. New this year are Sign of the Times Rookies (numbered to 99, 199, or 299), Authentic Moments booklet autographs, and debut inserts like Global Chirography (1:180), Great White North (1:240), and Scripted Stoppers (1:480). There's also a 2005-06 Retro parallel on Future Watch Limited Patches.

What's the base set like?

The base set is 100 cards of current stars and veterans. It's augmented by several subsets including SP Legends, Authentic Moments, and All-Time Moments. All base cards have Limited parallels numbered to /25, and some have Limited Autograph or Limited Autograph Patch versions.

How many cards are in the full set?

The base set is 100 cards, but with all the short prints, inserts, and parallels, the full set totals 285 cards. That includes legends, retro cards, autograph inserts, and all their numbered variations.

What's the case hit?

Each case (12 boxes) is expected to yield a pair of hard-signed patch autographs. That works out to roughly one patch auto per six boxes.

It dropped June 29, 2016.
