Product Overview
2023-24 SPx Hockey might not have winking holograms like in the brand’s early days in the 1990s. However, technology still plays a central role on the high-end checklist.
Hobby boxes consist of just five cards, at least one of which is an autograph. Memorabilia cards and a variety of inserts are also possible.
The base set is a modest 200 cards, split evenly between veterans and rookies. In both instances, standard versions are numbered to 299.
Parallels include Parallax Purple (/149), Radiance (/100), Grand Finale (/50) and NHL Shield Die-Cut Hologram (/25).
Some cards also get the Autograph (Veterans 1:15 packs, Rookies – 1:10 packs), numbered Autograph Patch and one-of-one Autograph Premium Memorabilia treatment.
Signatures take on several forms in 2023-24 SPx Hockey, well beyond the base card variations. Rookie Jersey Autographs come in three tiers of rarity, numbered to either 375, 175 or 75 depending on the player. Spectrum parallels have no more than 75 copies each while Patch Spectrum parallels top out at 35. This year, there are also Patch Gold Spectrum one-of-ones.
SPx Signature Fabrics are numbered to 99 or less. These highlight veteran players, their autographs and memorabilia. Spectrum (/25 or less), Patch Spectrum (/10 or less) and Patch Gold Spectrum (1/1) parallels are also on the checklist.
2003-04 20th Anniversary Rookie Auto Jersey (/99) throw things back two decades as far as designs go. Spectrum (/25), Patch Spectrum (/5) and Patch Gold Spectrum (1/1) versions are available here as well.
