The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.
Cases
The factory-sealed carton a product ships in, holding a set number of boxes. A full case is the whole carton; an inner case is a smaller sealed block from inside it. Case buyers get untouched pack sequencing and a lower price per box. Some rare cards are seeded about once per case, which is what collectors mean by a case hit.
These are the best prices we could find for this product across the 23 retailers we follow for
2022-23 Upper Deck SPx, checked daily. Prices move constantly and stock sells
out; always confirm on the retailer’s own page before buying.
For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.
Q2What's the main draw of 2022-23 SPx?
Every box has one guaranteed autograph, so you're always getting a hit. The real chase is landing UD Black Lustrous RPAs (on-card rookie autos with patches), HoloGraphs, or rare parallels like the Blue Holo 1/1s. It's built for collectors who want premium tech design and hard-signed content.
Q3What are the key rookie cards?
Shane Wright, Owen Power, Matty Beniers, and Juraj Slafkovsky are the marquee 2022 draft class rookies. All base rookies are numbered to 299, and they get the full autograph and parallel treatment across multiple insert sets.
Q4How do the base card parallels work?
All 200 base cards (100 veterans, 100 rookies) are numbered to 299. There are four standard parallels: Colored Holofoil (/149), Radiance (/100), Grand Finale (/50), and NHL Shield Die-Cut Hologram (/25). Select base cards also have autograph versions.
Q5What's the deal with UD Black in this product?
UD Black cards have a darker, sleeker look than the rest of SPx's flashy holo designs. You'll find Obsidian Rookies, Lustrous Rookie Signatures, Lustrous RPAs with Clarity variants, and Pride of a Nation autos. These are premium hits within the product.
Q6Are there any retro or throwback elements?
Yes. SPx Retro goes back to the 2002-03 design, and SPx Force is a callback to the brand's 1990s roots. Both have autograph versions and rare parallels. Hologram Shadow Box also taps into SPx's hologram heritage from the early days.
Q7What's the print run on the rarest cards?
Serial-numbered parallels range from /499 down to 1/1. The highest print runs are Radiance FX at 1,299 copies. The rarest are the Blue Holo 1/1 parallels across multiple insert sets, plus one-of-one Spectrum parallels on Pride of a Nation and other premium autos.
Q8Is this a good value at $80–$120 per box?
If you're chasing hard-signed rookie autos and premium parallels, the guaranteed auto per box makes it worth the entry. That said, most boxes will yield base autos or mid-tier inserts. The real value is in hitting one of the UD Black RPAs or rare holo parallels.
Q9What are the best inserts in 2022-23 Upper Deck SPx?
Worth keeping an eye out for: UD Black Lustrous Rookie Patch Autographs (RPA), HoloGraphs / Rookie HoloGraphs, HoloChampions, SPx Force (1:100 packs), Radiance FX, Pride of a Nation Auto Patch.
