Frequently asked

Who's 2021-22 Upper Deck CHL 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 are the key rookie cards in this product?
Shane Wright and Connor Bedard are the marquee rookies, both featured in the Clear Cut parallel subset. The Stars and Star Rookies section (#301-400) contains 100 short-print cards that fall 1:2 packs, so you'll pull about 12 per box. These include many top CHL prospects expected to make the NHL.
How do the parallels work?
Base cards have three parallel tiers: Exclusives (/100), High Gloss (/10), and one-of-one Printing Plates. Stars and Star Rookies get Clear Cut acetate parallels (1:12 packs). Most inserts also have numbered parallels ranging from /99 down to /5, plus 1/1 Black versions. You'll average one numbered parallel or Printing Plate per box.
What's the autograph situation?
Base Autographs run 1:24 packs, so roughly one per two boxes. Select insert sets like First Draft, CHL Profiles, and They're Exceptional also have autograph versions, but these are much scarcer. Some Printing Plates come autographed as well.
Is this a good value compared to other junior hockey products?
At around $80 USD per box, you're getting a deep 450-card checklist with solid insert variety and multiple parallel tiers. The Clear Cut acetate rookies and new inserts like CHL Profiles add visual appeal. If you're hunting specific prospects, the short-print Stars and Star Rookies (1:2 packs) make it easier to chase than some other products.
What's the difference between Stars and Star Rookies?
Stars are established top CHL players, while Star Rookies are first-year standouts. Both are short prints (#301-400, 1:2 packs combined) and both get Clear Cut parallels. The 2020-21 CHL Star Rookies (#401-450) are a separate insert set pulled 1:4 packs.
How many inserts should I expect per box?
On average, a hobby box yields about nine insert cards total. You'll get four from CHL Profiles or Next Step, three 2020-21 CHL Star Rookies, and two from Top Imports, First Draft, or They're Exceptional combined. This doesn't count the 12 base short prints or the parallels.
What makes They're Exceptional so hard to pull?
They're Exceptional runs 1:200 packs, making it one of the toughest inserts in the product. It's a three-card set featuring elite young talent, and the White Autograph parallels (/5) are among the rarest cards you can pull from a box.
When did 2021-22 Upper Deck CHL come out?
It dropped November 2, 2022.

16 cards per pack, 12 packs per box, 20 boxes per case
