23-24 Upper Deck Hockey Series 2 Hobby

Refresher on the Refresh! We made notable changes to the Upper Deck Series to deliver an even more compelling collecting experience! For the first time in more than 20 years, we changed the configuration (cards per pack/packs per box). We also increased the number of inserts per pack and expanded the base set parallel lineup. And while the configuration changed (fewer packs per box), we maintained the Young Guns® card count (6 per box, on average). In summary:

- Three (3) inserts per pack, on average (formerly 1 per pack, on average)

- Four (4) new base set parallels, three (3) of which are serial-#’d

- No change to the number of Young Guns® cards per box (6, on average)

Series 2 sports the next 250 cards (251-500) of the 2023-24 Upper Deck base set. Annually, the Upper Deck base set is the most widely-collected base set in hockey. The set includes 198 veteran cards, 49 Young Guns® cards (the most anticipated rookie cards of the season!) and three checklist cards. As noted above, we expanded the parallel lineup. Here are the new parallels:

- Outburst (Collect 1 Veteran or Young Gun per box, on average!)
- Deluxe (#’d to 250)
- Outburst Red (#’d to 25)
- Outburst Gold (#’d 1-of-1)

The returning & ever-popular Exclusives (#’d to 100), High Gloss (#’d to 10) and Clear Cut (Hobby exclusive) parallels round out the impressive lineup that gives collectors a great deal of desirable cards to chase. Get ready to hunt for 1-of-1 Young Guns® cards!

Fans and collectors alike will be blown away by the UD Portraits cards! The 2023-24 version of this classic insert portrays star veterans and rookies like you’ve never seen them before! No two player portraits are the same. Collect at least one (1) UD Portraits card per box, on average, and keep an eye out for Silver Frame (#’d to 99) and Red Frame (#’d to 25) parallels, as well as printing plates. Series 2 hosts the final 30 cards of the 2023-24 UD Portraits set!

UD Canvas®, an intra-series set that is a longtime favorite amongst collectors, features a collection of the top stars in the game today, the best of the Young Guns® and, in Series 2 only, short-printed Retired and Program of Excellence (rookies that have played for Team Canada) subsets. Series 2 contains the next 150 cards (C121 – C270) of the 2023-24 set. Collect four (4) UD Canvas® cards per box, on average, and keep an eye out Hobby-exclusive Black & White parallels as well as the printing plates from all 150 cards.
