2022-23 Upper Deck Hockey Artifacts Hobby Box
Top Rookie Chases
2022-23 Artifacts
2022-23 Upper Deck Artifacts is the long-running brand’s mid-tier offering, packing a deep mix of memorabilia and autos without the super-premium price tag. The real chase centers around the top-tier rookies from the 2022 draft class, particularly Owen Power, Matty Beniers and Kent Johnson, whose top hits come through redemption cards. That’s the catch—many of the best hits are redemptions, some with tough odds like the 1:107,200 Black Patch-Tag Auto. The base set is solid with a 250-card checklist split into veterans, stars, legends and rookies, offering plenty of parallel options. Autograph hits are spread across multiple insert sets including AutoFacts and Top Tier Rookie Signatures, but the hit rate is modest at three per hobby box. There’s a lot of content here, including Game Ticket Artifacts and Arena Artifacts, but the redemption reliance is a known pain point.
