Product Overview
2023-24 Upper Deck Extended Series Hockey accomplishes a couple of things. The big one is that it wraps up the season’s flagship hockey card line with a third and final installment. Yes, that means another helping of Young Guns. A significant portion of the checklist also reaches back into Upper Deck’s past to create some new inserts.
Like Series 1 and Series 2, Extended Series delivers a 250-card base set. This brings the total set across the three releases up to #750.
Here, the first 200 cards are veterans. The final 50 are a mix of Young Guns Rookie Cards and 1st Round Rookies. Both of these subsets are short prints, combining to land every other hobby pack or six per box.
Parallels include:
It’s not just the main set that’s growing. Some of the inserts are a continuation as well.
UD Canvas is back with more stellar photography. Of course, the canvas card stock is there, too. Subsets here include Young Guns, Legends, and All-Stars. Additional parallels versions come in Black and White, and Printing Plates. All UD Canvas cards combine to land 1:3 hobby packs.
The always colorful Dazzlers expand as well with one Blue version per hobby box. Pink and retail-only Green are among the other colors available.
Population Count, which are inspired by graded cards, grows. The “pop” numbered featured matches with the card’s print run, although they are not serial numbered. Levels include Population Count 1000, 500, 100, 50, 25, 10 and 1.
