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 24 retailers we follow for
2022-23 Upper Deck Ice, 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 makes Ice Premieres the big chase?
Ice Premieres are 150 acetate rookie cards that form the heart of the set. Every card is serial-numbered with print runs from /1299 down to /99, plus 1/1 Black versions. They're in every box (at least 2), so you're always pulling them, but the low-numbered parallels and autograph versions are what drive the hunt.
Q3How many autographs should I expect per box?
You're guaranteed 1 autograph or memorabilia card per box. That's either a base card upgrade (like White Snowflake Autographs or Gold Patch Autos), an insert auto like Glacial Graphs or Signature Swatches, or an Ice Premieres auto. The odds vary by type, but the hit is locked in.
Q4What's the base set like?
The base set has 250 cards split into three sections: 100 veteran stars, 50 standard rookies, and 150 Ice Premieres rookies on acetate. You pull 3 base cards per pack, with one rookie per pack guaranteed. Parallels include Green, Orange, Purple, Ice Blue, Greyscale (/99), and Black (1/1).
Q5Are there any other big inserts besides Ice Premieres?
Yeah. Glacial Graphs (1:288 packs) is a premium autograph insert. Ice Crystals and Sub Zero are both common pulls that have nice parallels. Frozen in Ice is a rip card that reveals Ice Premieres Minis inside. Signature Swatches (1:576 packs) is ultra-rare and combines an auto with a memorabilia swatch.
Q6What's the deal with the acetate cards?
Ice is known for its transparent acetate stock, which gives the cards a distinct see-through look. Ice Premieres are printed on acetate, and so are some of the other inserts. It's a signature design element of the Ice brand and makes the cards stand out visually.
Q7How do the parallels work on Ice Premieres?
Every Ice Premieres card has the same parallel structure: Green (/599), Red (/299), Gold (/99), and Black (1/1). The base versions have higher print runs (up to /1299), so you'll see a lot of them. The lower-numbered versions and 1/1 Blacks are the real chase.
Q8What rookies should I know about?
The base rookie set includes Dylan Holloway, Aatu Raty, Cole Koepke, and others. Ice Premieres has 150 rookie cards, so there's a deep pool of young talent. The exact rookie lineup spans the full 150-card Ice Premieres set, making it a strong rookie-focused product.
