Frequently asked

Who's 2009-10 Upper Deck The Cup for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What are the key rookie cards in 2009-10 The Cup?
The big rookies are John Tavares, Matt Duchene, and James van Riemsdyk, all limited to 99 copies in the base set. You'll also find autographed rookie patch cards of Brad Marchand, Victor Hedman, Erik Karlsson, Evander Kane, and others.
How many autographs come in every box?
Every tin guarantees 2 signed patch cards: 1 autographed rookie patch and 1 additional autographed patch card. That's the floor, but you can pull rarer multi-player or special inserts on top of that.
What makes Property Of cards so popular?
Upper Deck cuts the actual nameplate from a player's game-used stick and embeds it into the card. They're numbered to 1, making them one-of-a-kind pieces of memorabilia that typically command big money on the secondary market.
Are there any exclusive signers in this product?
Yes. Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, and Bobby Orr autograph cards are exclusive to Upper Deck products. You can also find cut signatures of deceased legends embedded into cards.
What are Cup Foundations Quadruple Patches?
These are four-player patch cards that showcase game-used material from multiple stars on a single card. Autographed versions are numbered to just 5, making them extremely rare.
How is The Cup packaged differently than other products?
Upper Deck hand-packs every box with its top hockey staff instead of using a mechanized process. The team works over 12 hours a day to ensure each pack is randomly sorted but also delivers superior value for collectors.
What are the Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin Tribute cards?
New to 2009-10, these tribute cards honor the two superstars and come in both autograph and autograph patch versions with varied numbering.
