2022-23 Upper Deck Artifacts Hockey hobby box

What are these options?

Hobby Box: 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.
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.
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.

Frequently asked

Who's 2022-23 Upper Deck Artifacts 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's the main draw of 2022-23 Artifacts?

It's built around premium hits. Every hobby box has three autographs, memorabilia cards, or tech inserts, plus four serial-numbered parallels and a rookie redemption or acetate card. It's a solid middle ground between entry-level and super-premium products.

What are the key rookie cards?

The set includes 30 live rookies (#171-200) numbered to 999, plus 50 Rookie Redemption cards for the 2022-23 rookie class. Top prospects like Kent Johnson have multiple autograph and memorabilia parallels available. Redemptions for the top six rookies include premium jersey and patch versions.

How do the parallels work?

Base veterans have 14 different colored parallels ranging from /499 (Ruby) down to /5 (Black, hobby only). Stars, Goalies, and Legends have similar tiers but with higher print runs (/599). Rookies also get the full parallel treatment. Many parallels come in autograph and memorabilia versions with their own numbering.

What's the Aurum Bounty program?

Aurum is a 48-card set exclusive to hobby packs (1:20 packs for standard cards). If you complete the set, you can register for exclusive rewards. The first 20 to finish get a special 12-card Aurum set, the first 10 also get an autograph, and the first three get a dual autograph.

What new inserts debut in 2022-23?

Game Ticket Artifacts are the marquee new insert, featuring authentic game tickets embedded in cards from games dating back to 1949. Award Winners Autographs also debuts as a living set honoring major NHL award winners, with each card limited to 25 copies.

Are there easy autographs to pull?

AutoFacts is the most accessible autograph insert at 1:33 hobby packs. Retro AutoFacts (1:112 packs) brings back the 2005-06 design. Most other autograph inserts are hobby-exclusive and fall at much longer odds, like Top Tier Rookie Signatures at 1:1,000 packs.

What's the base set size?

The base set has 250 cards total: 100 veterans, 70 stars/goalies/legends, 30 live rookies, and 50 rookie redemptions. Veterans make up the bulk of pack pulls, while the other sections are more limited.

Is there a memorabilia option besides autographs?
