2025-26 Upper Deck Extended Series Hockey Checklist Overview

The Extended Series base set runs from cards 501-750, picking up where Series 2 leaves off. A 4 Nations Face-Off subset replaces the All-Star subset seen in previous years.

Cards #501-700 will feature veterans, while cards #701-750 are reserved for Young Guns and 1st Round Rookies, which combine to land once every other hobby pack.

A handful of parallels cover the entire set:

• Outburst (Veterans – 1:30 packs; Young Guns – 1:100; 1st Round Rookies – 1:150)
• Clear Cut (Veterans – 1:96; Young Guns – 1:240; 1st Round Rookies – 1:360)
• Deluxe /250
• UD Exclusives /100
• Outburst Red /25
• High Gloss /10
• Outburst Gold /1

Collectors can find additional versions of the Young Guns cards, with Canvas and Retro versions:

• Canvas (1:24 packs)
• Canvas – Black And White (1:135)
• Canvas – Printing Plates /1
• Retro – Outburst (1:2,880)
• Retro – Outburst Red /25
• Retro – Outburst Gold /1

But the biggest chase when it comes to rookies are the new Rookie Debut Game Jersey cards.

The latest innovation includes a swatch from a jersey a player wore during their NHL debut, as well as a photo from that game. Collectors face steep odds when it comes to base versions (1:1008 packs) and autographed versions numbered to match a player’s jersey number carry even more scarcity.

Each player also has a gold-signed 1/1 version that, according to Upper Deck, may “may include a provenance tag issued by the team or a third-party authenticator or a personalized inscription from the team’s equipment manager on the tag or fight strap.”

Upper Deck has indicated that at least the following players will be included in the program:

• Matthew Schaefer (New York Islanders)
• Michael Misa (San Jose Sharks)
• Beckett Sennecke (Anaheim Ducks)
• Brady Martin (Nashville Predators)
• Isaac Howard (Edmonton Oilers)
• Sam Dickinson (San Jose Sharks)
• Danila Yurov (Minnesota Wild)
• Easton Cowan (Toronto Maple Leafs)
• Daniil But (Utah Mammoth)

As always, there are plenty of traditional inserts in the Extended Series, some that are new and some that carry over from Series 1 and Series 2.

Among the returners are:

• Dazzlers Blue (1:12 packs)
• Sizzle Reel (1:5)
• UD Canvas (1:4)

Dazzlers also have Pink (1:72) and Gold (1:2,880) versions, while Sizzle Reel cards come in Speckle (1:80), Red (/199), and Gold (/25) parallels.

UD Canvas cards have Black And White (1:60) parallels, as well as Legends and 4 Nations Face-Off cards (Base – 1:96; Black And White – 1:540).

Upper Deck pays tribute to its history in a trio of inserts themed after late 1990s and early 2000s products: HoloGrFX, Pros And Prospects, and UD3.

Pros And Prospects cards are inserted 1:3 packs and have a Gold parallel numbered to /250, while UD3 inserts fall 1:4 packs and have a Gold parallel numbered to /333.

HoloGrFX inserts come in three varieties:

• Rookies (1:60 packs)
• AuSOME (1:120)
• Star View (1:360)

Additional inserts include:

• Understood The Assignment (1:4)
• Rookie Reflections (1:5)
• Power Play (1:5)
• All-World Team (1:6)

Rookie Reflections have a Gold parallel (/100), while the other three inserts each have Speckle, Red (/199), and Gold (/25) parallels.

Tougher numbered finds include Rookie Update (Base – /1999; Red – /199; Gold – /10) and Trilogy Rookie Premiere (Common – /999; Uncommon – /499; Rare – /99).

SSP inserts include Killer Keepers (print run of 35) and 2025-26 Synergy Rookies (/26).
