2016-17 The Cup Hockey Preview

October 1, 2017 By Rich Mueller

As always, they saved the best for last.  The ultra high-end 2016-17 The Cup hockey from Upper Deck will arrive October 25 as the company winds down releases with last season’s date on them.

2016-17 Upper Deck The Cup Hockey Basics

Each six card box will contain two autographed patch cards, one of which will be a rookie autograph. The Cup will include memorabilia and insert sets from rookies, current stars, and legends with several new for this year. There will be a diverse selection of memorabilia beyond simply patches, logos, and shields and will also include fight straps with buttons, laces, and skates.

The product is loaded with quality content, but consumers will have to pay $650-$700 to tear into the six card tin.

Rookie Cards

Auston Matthews, Patrik Laine, Matthew Tkachuk, William Nylander, Dylan Strome, Mitch Marner, Jesse Puljujarvi, and Jimmy Vesey are some of the noteworthy rookies included in 2016-17 The Cup hockey. Their base cards will be #’d to 249 with gold foil (#’d to 24), red foil (#’d to 8), and press plate (1/1) parallels. The rookie autograph patch cards will surely be some of the most coveted hits in the product. Each is #’d  to 249 and will have a Level 2 (#’d to 99) parallels.

Rookies will also be featured on Level 2 Gold Foil with gold ink (#’d to 24), and Level 2 Red Foil (#’d to 12) with red ink, Signature Material (#’d to 99), and Exquisite Endorsement Relics (#’d to 50), Autographed Monumental Patch Booklets (#’d to 6), and Black Foil NHL Shield Logo Patch (1/1) insert sets. Honorable Numbers will feature two patches, an autograph, and be hand numbered by the player to their jersey number.

New Additions

New for 2016-17 The Cup hockey will be Laced Up, which will feature game worn laces and skates and will be hand numbered. Green Foil Auto Button parallels will be #’d to 3 and include large swatches of fight straps with attached button. Ticket Inscription Booklets will also be hand numbered and include a ticket from a memorable game in the player’s career.

Memorabilia and Autographs

The Cup is loaded with both low numbered autograph and memorabilia insert sets. Some of the more noteworthy inclusions include sets like “The Show”, which will feature cards based on UDA products and include a checklist of non-hockey athletes who have signed with Upper Deck, which will be inserted at the rate of 1 in 180 boxes.

Legends of Hockey Triple Signed Booklets will unfold to reveal three autographed and numbered to 9. Program of Excellence autographs will be numbered to 10 with dual autos numbered to only 5. Signature Renditions will be inserted one per seven boxes, with combos inserted one per 100 boxes.

NHL Glory Autos will be numbered to 10 with a checklist of some of the game’s legendary players. Emblems of Endorsements which will have two patches and an autograph will be numbered to 15. Limited Logos will boast large patches and autographs #’d to 50 at Tier 1, 25 at Tier 2, and and 10 at Tier 3.
