What are these options?

Blaster Box: The small retail box sold at stores like Walmart and Target, usually the cheapest full box on the shelf. Autographs are not guaranteed, but many blasters carry exclusive parallels you cannot pull from a hobby box.
Retail Box: A full box of the individual packs sold loose at big-box stores, often 24 of them. Same base set as the hobby version, with fewer or no guaranteed hits.
Tin: A decorated metal box holding a handful of packs, often with a bonus card inside. The packs are standard product; the tin and its extras are the draw.

Frequently asked

What makes this product special?

It's the first Upper Deck release to feature the Double Rookie Class, mixing 2012-13 rookies like Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk with 2013-14 rookies like Nathan MacKinnon, Seth Jones, and Tomas Hertl. That's 50 Young Guns rookies total in Series 1 alone.

What are the key rookie cards to hunt?

Nathan MacKinnon, Seth Jones, Alex Galchenyuk, Tomas Hertl, and Jonathan Huberdeau are among the hottest. Nail Yakupov and Dougie Hamilton from the prior year are also in the set. All appear in the Young Guns subset (#201-250).

How do the Young Guns odds work?

Young Guns pull at 1:4 packs in hobby boxes. The Canvas Young Guns parallel is much rarer at 1:48 packs, making those the real chase cards for collectors hunting scarce rookies.

What inserts should I know about?

Young Guns is the main event, but there's also UD Canvas (established stars and rookies), Shining Stars (position-based with rainbow parallels), MVP (with Gold Script /100 and Super Script /25 tiers), and Clear Cut (die-cut with various serial-numbered parallels).

What's in a typical hobby box?

Expect 6 Young Guns rookies, 4 UD Canvas cards, 2 Jersey cards, 2 Shining Stars inserts, and 4 MVP cards on average, plus base cards filling out the rest of the 192-card box total.

Is there a tin version?

Yes. The tin contains 10 packs plus 2 bonus packs and 1 oversized card. It's a different product format from the hobby box but pulls from the same set.

Are there autographs in this product?

The sources don't specify autograph odds or guarantees for Series 1, so it appears to be a base/insert-focused release without a clear auto hit rate.

When did 2013-14 Upper Deck Series 1 come out?

It dropped November 6, 2013.

What's in a 2013-14 Upper Deck Series 1 hobby box?

12 packs per box, 8 cards per pack (hobby box); 10 packs + 2 bonus packs per tin
