Product Overview
The name “Ultimate” comes with certain expectations. For 2022-23 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Hockey, that means not only a heavy focus on autographs and memorabilia but showcasing them in a super-premium way. On-card ink, low serial numbers and patches are just some of the ways.
Four-card boxes have at least one autograph and one memorabilia card. A third is either an autographed memorabilia, premium relic or high-end insert.
Every card in the 2022-23 Ultimate Collection base set is serial numbered. Veterans and Legends have 149 copies each plus Blue (/99), Gold (/35), Purple (/15) and Black (/5) parallels.
Select cards also get autographs (Veterans – 1:8 packs, Legends – 1:48 packs). These also have numbered parallels in Gold, Purple (/5) and Black (1/1). Scarce Jumbo Patch Auto versions max out at three copies each.
First-year players fall under the Ultimate Rookies banner. Many autographed, these have either 299 or 99 copies each, depending on the player. Jersey variations, which don’t have signatures, are numbered to 799 or 599. There are also Auto Patch (/99 or /49), Jumbo Auto Patch (/5) and Auto Shield Patch (1/1) versions.
For those looking for more autographed patch cards, there’s Pro Threads (/49) and the rookie-centric Debut Threads (/99 or less).
More signature and memorabilia can be found in Emblems Auto Relic (1:9 packs, Rookies 1:4 packs) as well as their Gold (/49 or less) and Platinum (/10 or less) parallels. There’s also Ultimate Displays Auto Jersey, which have Patch and Tag (/6 or less) versions.
Sticks are the theme for Stick with Me (/79). Parallels come in Blue (/49) and Gold (/10).
