2024-25 Upper Deck Ice Hockey is clear at its core. While not every card in the product is made using the material, acetate is the hook here. It’s used throughout various parts of the checklist including many autographs, familiar inserts and the cornerstone Ice Premieres subset. Hobby boxes include plenty of variety including either an autograph or memorabilia card. At least five inserts and 15 parallels can also be expected in the average box. The base set totals 250 cards. It breaks down into three distinct sections: 100 veterans, 50 base rookies and 100 Ice Premieres. Veterans and base rookies have the same parallel assortment: Some cards also have Jersey (1:96 packs), Gold Patch (/25, Rookies /35), numbered Gold Auto Patch, White Snowflake Autographs (1:288 packs, Rookies 1:216 packs), and Red Autographs (/5). Ice Premieres offer up more rookies, this time using acetate. Depending on the player, there are five levels of print runs numbered to either /999, /799, /499, /249 or /99. Parallels include Blue (/599), Green (/399), Gold (/25) and Black (1/1). These also get the hit treatment with Jersey (1:60), Autograph (/199 or /99), Patch (/25), Auto Patch (/10) and Auto Patch Black (1/1) versions. Acetate Glacial Graphs return. Standard versions land approximately 1:12 hobby boxes. There are also Black parallels that come numbered to varying amounts. Frozen in Ice (1:24) are rip cards that have smaller mini cards hiding inside them. Inner cards include Ice Premieres Minis, Ice Premieres Minis Gold (/99) and Ice Premieres Minis Autographs (/15).
