Product Details

Known for its memorabilia offerings and rare base cards, 2018-19 SP Game Used Hockey is a hit-based NHL release with a strong brand past. Similar to 2017-18, every Hobby box averages 4 hits with at least one being an autograph or premium memorabilia card.

2018-19 SP Game Used Hockey Base / Authentic Rookies

Treating base cards a little differently than most of the other NHL sets, the 2018-19 SP Game Used Hockey checklist caps the 100-card base set and 100-card Authentic Rookies subset print runs at the individual player’s jersey number. In fact, the final card in the print run is a signed one-of-one edition.

On the other hand, parallels are more plentiful and include autograph and relic versions. Mirroring the base set, many of the parallel amounts are unique to the player. For instance, the Base Orange Rainbow parallel for the base set starts with 100 copies and then adds to that the most goals scored by the player in a single season. Likewise, the Authentic Rookies Orange Rainbow parallel begins with 100 copies, adding the draft year total to the amount.
