Product Details

2023-24 SPx Hockey might not have winking holograms like in the brand’s early days in the 1990s. However, technology still plays a central role on the high-end checklist. Hobby boxes consist of just five cards, at least one of which is an autograph. Memorabilia cards and a variety of inserts are also possible.

2023-24 SPx Hockey Checklist Overview

The base set is a modest 200 cards, split evenly between veterans and rookies. In both instances, standard versions are numbered to 299. Parallels include Parallax Purple (/149), Radiance (/100), Grand Finale (/50) and NHL Shield Die-Cut Hologram (/25). Some cards also get the Autograph (Veterans 1:15 packs, Rookies – 1:10 packs), numbered Autograph Patch and one-of-one Autograph Premium Memorabilia treatment.

Autographs

Signatures take on several forms in 2023-24 SPx Hockey, well beyond the base card variations. Rookie Jersey Autographs come in three tiers of rarity, numbered to either 375, 175 or 75 depending on the player. Spectrum parallels have no more than 75 copies each while Patch Spectrum parallels top out at 35. This year, there are also Patch Gold Spectrum one-of-ones. SPx Signature Fabrics are numbered to 99 or less. These highlight veteran players, their autographs and memorabilia. Spectrum (/25 or less), Patch Spectrum (/10 or less) and Patch Gold Spectrum (1/1) parallels are also on the checklist. 2003-04 20th Anniversary Rookie Auto Jersey (/99) throw things back two decades as far as designs go. Spectrum (/25), Patch Spectrum (/5) and Patch Gold Spectrum (1/1) versions are available here as well.

As far as standard autographs go, Auto Holographs might not be pure holograms, but they do have a bit of that ’90s vibe. Available for both rookies and veterans, both have Red, Gold and one-of-one Blue parallels. New X-Over Signatures take a quality approach over quantity when it comes to its checklist. Featuring top stars and rookies, base versions have just 15 copies each with additional Red (/10), Gold (/5) and Blue (1/1) parallels also available. Other autograph themes on the 2023-24 SPx Hockey checklist include Superscripts (1:18 packs), Rookie Superscripts (1:10 packs), X Marks the Spot Autos (1:40 packs) and X Marks the Spot Rookie Autos (1:20 packs).

Additional Inserts

Collectors aren’t going to find typical card stock on the various 2023-24 SPx Hockey inserts. Shadow box cards have been around for a while, but they’re getting a bit of a twist this time. Starscape Shadow Box provides a new theme and revamped design. The layered look remains, as does the blend of rookies (1:15 packs) and stars (1:25 packs). Silver Spectrum parallels are numbered to 99 while Gold Spectrum have just 10 copies each. Hardwired for Success (/99) is a new addition. Red (/65), Gold (/35) and Blue (1/1) parallels make up the modest rainbow. Finite Rookies (/799) bring a more expanse parallel list with Gold (/399), Green (/199), Platinum (/99), Silver Spectrum (/49), Gold Spectrum (/25), Green Spectrum (/10) and Platinum Spectrum (1/1). Other returning inserts include the four-player SPx Force (1:200 packs) and Radiance FX (/949).

Back with UD Black

Upper Deck’s sleek UD Black brand finds a home in 2023-24 SPx once again with an assortment of autographs, memorabilia cards and other inserts. UD Black Lustrous Rookie Signatures are numbered to 299 and under with parallels limited to Gold (/25) and Emerald (1/1). Auto Patch versions add memorabilia to the mix. These have no more than 125 copies plus one-of-one Spectrum parallels, as well as Clarity (/15) and Clarity Spectrum (1/1) variations. Steel Signatures are tough at 1:240 packs. Gold (/25) and Emerald (1/1) parallels add a numbered element. More UD Black autographs include Pride of a Nation (/99 or less), Obsidian Scripts (1:80 packs) and Obsidian Rookie Scripts (1:240 packs). For strictly memorabilia, there are Obsidian Jerseys. Rookies come numbered to 149 while veterans are 99. Both have Gold and one-of-one Emerald parallels as well. Obsidian Rookies inserts give collectors another shot at first-year standouts. There are base (/199), Gold (/99) and Emerald (/30) versions.
