2024-25 Upper Deck Hockey The Cup Hobby Box
2024-25 The Cup
This year's Upper Deck The Cup is anchored in history with Macklin Celebrini making his rookie auto debut, a major draw for collectors. The base set includes legends like Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, and Cale Makar, while current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby appear. The Exquisite Collection carries over, offering sought-after Black Gold autographs and rookie patch autos, including 1/1 NHL Shield versions. The product introduces several new insert sets like Elegant Etchings and the luxurious Lavish, along with the rare Autographed Monumental Puck Booklets. Hit rates are strong, with one Rookie Autograph Patch card guaranteed per box. However, the absence of true redemptions is notable, as several chase cards like Connor Bedard's 2005-06 Tribute Auto are labeled as 'NO GOLD' or 'NO BASE'.
