2022-23 Upper Deck Hockey Artifacts Hobby Box

2022-23 Upper Deck Hockey Artifacts Hobby Box

Product Details

4 Cards per pack, 8 Packs per box

A haven for memorabilia cards, 2022-23 Upper Deck Artifacts Hockey maintains the hit formula that yields three per Hobby box. Hits can be autographs, relics or tech inserts.

While the Rookie Redemption line is another focal point, the 2021-22 edition arrived too late to feature them, instead issuing live rookie cards. However, the rookie IOUs are back for '22-23.

Each Hobby pack should have either a hit, limited insert or numbered parallel.

The main series also brings several new base parallels to the overall rainbow.

In addition to the larger print runs, fans can find a few different autograph editions.
