2025/26 Upper Deck Ice Hockey Hobby 16 Box Case
Product Summary:
- Upper Deck Ice has been stripped down to the studs and rebuilt as a premium, Hobby-exclusive one-pack-per-box product! Popular product staples such as Ice Premieres, Sub Zero, Glacial Graphs and Signature Swatches return with a new construction, and some spectacular new sets have been added. Additionally, all autograph cards remain hard-signed!
- Every card in the 2025-26 edition is at least 60 pts. thick and features a premium tech build or a solely tech substrate. Here are some highlights of the product rebuild:
- All Base Set cards - including the Ice Premieres rookie subset - along with the non-mem parallels, are 70 pts. thick with an acetate front and back, and a C2S filler.
- The fronts of the Sub Zero cards have been treated with a decorative coating process and are now 60 pts. thick (3-times thicker than previous versions).
- The all-new Black Ice and Black Ice Rookies cards sport acetate fronts and backs with a black chipboard filler.
- Glacial Graphs cards, along with the new Hand Stamped and Fire and Ice cards, sport a C2S front and back with an acetate filler.
- The plexi lineup has doubled with the addition of Dry Ice (to go along with the returning Exquisite® Crystal set).
- Autograph collectors, rookie card collectors, monster hit seekers and those just simply looking for more high-end cards with a visual wow factor are going to love the reimagined Upper Deck Ice!
BASE SET
- The 200-card Base Set consists of 100 top veteran cards (at least two players from all 32 teams) and 100 Ice Premieres rookie cards broken into four numbered tiers: 999, 499, 249 or 99. The parallel lineups for both the Base Set and Ice - Premieres subset are headlined by the new 1-of-1 Champagne Gold cards. They will be massive chase cards! Also keep an eye out for, among others, Gold (#’d to 25), Patch (#’d to 35; game-worn), Red Auto, Gold (#’d to 25) and Gold Auto (#’d to 10) parallels of the Base Set, and Gold (#’d to 25) parallels of the Ice Premieres subset.
- Each box will contain, on average, two (2) Base Set cards and one (1) Ice Premieres card numbered to either 999 or 499.
INSERT SETS - RETURNING
