What are these options?
- Hobby Box

Frequently asked
Who are the key rookies and prospects in this set?
Alexis Lafreniere leads the set at card #1 and is the marquee 2020 draft prospect. For 2019 eligibles, look for Peyton Krebs, Kirby Dach, Dylan Cozens, Bowen Byram, and Arthur Kaliyev. The Star Rookies subset (#301-400) also includes future stars like Quinton Byfield, Cole Perfetti, and Jamie Drysdale.
What's the base set structure?
The 400-card base set splits into 300 regular base cards and 100 Star Rookies short prints (#301-400). The Star Rookies fall one per pack on average, making them a regular pull rather than a chase.
How do the parallels work?
Parallels come in three tiers: Exclusive (/100), High Gloss (/10), and Printing Plates (1/1 in four color versions). These combine to fall one per 18-pack hobby box, so they're fairly scarce.
What autographs are in the product?
There are 109 autograph cards in the set, with one guaranteed per hobby box. Autographs are grouped by rarity: Group A (1:239 packs), Group B (1:174 packs), and Group C (1:9 packs), so some signers are much tougher than others.
What are the insert sets to chase?
Top Level Talent and Scouting Report both fall at 1:6 packs and are the most common inserts. Memorial Cup Ambitions is slightly tougher at 1:13 packs. The real chase is SP Top Prospect at 1:216 packs, which is a serious pull.
Is this a good product for prospect collectors?
Yes. The set covers all 60 CHL teams and focuses heavily on 2019 and 2020 NHL Draft prospects. If you're building a collection of future stars before they make it to the NHL, this is a solid entry point with a guaranteed autograph per box.
How does the 2018-19 CHL set compare to the previous year?
This is the second year of the product line. The format remains consistent with a large base set, Star Rookies subset, and autographs in every box. The 2018-19 edition adds more high-profile prospects like Lafreniere and a deeper 2019 draft class.
