2020-21 Upper Deck Hockey Series 1 Hobby Box
2020-21 Series 1
This is Upper Deck's flagship hockey release kicking off the 2020-21 season. The product features a refreshed look with bright colors and a big focus on the Young Guns Rookie Cards, led by first overall pick Alexis Lafreniere who lands 1:4 hobby packs. You're not getting any redemptions here, which is a plus, and all autographs are live in packs. While the hit parade isn't huge, there are several autograph and memorabilia options like UD Game Jersey at 1:36 hobby, Debut Dates with memorabilia parallels, and tough short print inserts like Ceremonial Puck Drop at 1:2,880 and its autograph version at 1:30,000. The checklist leans heavily on established stars like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Cale Makar, but the real chase is Lafreniere's Young Gun coming just once per four hobby packs.
