2023-24 Upper Deck Clear Cut Hockey is about as transparent as a card set can get. Everything’s acetate and (almost) everything has an autograph. Like past years, collectors can expect to find one card per hobby box. Base Autographs take on the same general layout as the flagship 2023-24 Upper Deck Hockey set. The checklist isn’t quite the same, though. Here, it’s a mix of vets, rookies and retired stars. Cards are done on acetate, giving them a clear look and a plastic feel. Veterans are 1:6 packs, rookies land 1:4 and Legends are at at 1:60 packs. Parallels are also familiar to the main set with Outburst (/25), High Gloss (/10) and Gold Outburst (1/1). Another set making the flagship jump is UD Canvas Signatures (1:12 packs). Red Ink versions are limited to the player’s jersey number while Gold Ink are one-of-ones. Sticking with the Canvas theme are Canvas Rookie Debut Signatures (/25). These also have unsigned versions. These are the only cards in 2023-24 Upper Deck Clear Cut Hockey without autographs. They are a bonus in boxes that have a redemption. Many of the other autographs on the checklist get their inspiration from other brands. Black Diamond has 1998-99 Myriad (1:54 packs) with additional Rookies (1:22 packs) and Legends (1:180 packs). These have Blue (/25) and Gold (1/1) parallels. Champs Autographs lend a throwback vibe to the modern product. These also have vets (1:12 packs), Rookies (1:105 packs) and Legends (1:105 packs) along with Blue (/50), Red (/10) and Black (1/1) versions. Other retro designs include 1998-99 Ionix Authentics (1:30 packs), 2003-04 UD Classic Portraits (1:40 packs), and 2006-07 Upper Deck Sweet Shot Autographs (1:25 packs).
