2022-23 Upper Deck Premier Hockey sets near the top of the season’s high-end sets. It arrives with a checklist that includes a lot of on-card autographs, premium patches and other memorabilia combinations. Of the six cards in every hobby box, four are hits including at least one autograph patch card done with acetate. A second signature and two memorabilia cards are also among the expected contents. The 2022-23 Premier base set totals 150 cards, all of which come with serial numbers. The checklist breaks down into three distinct sections. Veterans (/299), represent the first 90 spots with Legends (/99) following at #91-100. Sixty Rookies round things out, each with 399 copies. Vets and Legends have Gold (/65, Legends /25) and Platinum (1/1) parallels while Rookies have Bronze (/199), Gold (/65), Purple (/10) and Platinum (1/1). Select cards also have autographs (Veterans – 1:4 packs, Legends – 1:125, Rookies – 1:5 packs) with their own Gold and Platinum (1/1) versions. Veteran memorabilia parallels include Jersey (1:3 packs), Premium Memorabilia, Fight Strap (/5), Hockey Lace (/5), and Neckline (/3). Like the base versions, Legends are significantly tougher at 1:300 packs. Premium Memorabilia (/5) and Hockey Lace (/5) are the lone parallels for these. Rookie relics include Jersey (1:2 packs), Patch (/49 or /25), Fight Strap (/15), Hockey Lace (/5) and Neckline (/3). Acetate Rookie Auto Patch cards rank among the most coveted cards in recent Premier Hockey releases. Base versions have either 249 or 99 copies, depending on the player. Gold parallels drop down to print runs of 65 and 35 while Platinum are one-of-ones. Horizontal Rookie Auto Patch (/99 or /49) flip the layout 90 degrees. These also get the Gold (/25 or /15) and Platinum (1/1) treatment. Not all of the cards done with the plastic-like surface are rookies. 2022-23 Upper Deck Premier Hockey also has Acetate Veteran Auto Patch. These have no more the 49 copies each with Gold versions maxing out at 10.
