2016-17 Upper Deck Hockey Black Hobby Box

This is Upper Deck Black for the 2016-17 season, the type of product you'd expect to see a little more often in the lineup. It's a small base set with heavy emphasis on rookies and legends, and it delivers two autographs per box. The big rookie to know is Auston Matthews, who leads all chases in the product, followed by Mitch Marner. Both have multiple hard-signed autograph sets, including Fresh Gear Rookie Booklets and Signature Rookies. William Nylander is another key rookie with solid representation. Veterans like Ovechkin, Crosby, McDavid and Wayne Gretzky show up in Obsidian Signatures and Color Coded Signatures, with hit rates that keep them relevant. The hit structure is accessible, with Black Hole autos at 1:5 packs and Pro Penmanship at 1:3. Design is clean and consistent with past Upper Deck Black releases.
