2020-21 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey Preview, Checklist

November 18, 2020 By Rich Mueller

The season will be getting underway a little later than normal, but the NHL’s flagship trading card partner will be ready to roll ahead of time. 

2020-21 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey released on November 18, promising a new Young Guns parallel, a mix of new and returning insert lineups and a little more color.

Hobby and retail boxes, including blasters release about the same time with the tins making their return about a week or so later.

A preview is below with a checklist available for download at the bottom of the page.

While it’s not an autograph heavy product, Upper Deck says all signatures will be live–no redemptions.

2020-21 Upper Deck Series 1 Configuration and Base Set

2020-21 Upper Deck Series 1 Quinn Hughes Exclusives

Each hobby box of Series 1 will once again contain 24 packs with eight cards per pack.  On average, each box will include six Young Guns cards. 

There will also be retail packaging for places like Target and Walmart.

The base set in 2020-21 Series 1 will include 250 cards including 198 regular cards, 49 Young Guns and three checklists.  Hobby-exclusive parallels include Exclusives (# to 100); High Gloss (# to 10) and Clear Cut (one in every 96 packs). 

Top draft pick Alex LaFreniere has a Young Guns card in Series 1 and they’re bringing strong prices on eBay.

There’s also a new parallel to the base set this year, one that will take you back to the early days of Upper Deck’s hockey license or the vintage O-Pee-Chee sets.  “French” parallel cards will include copy written entirely in that language.  They’ll be a little tough to pull, especially the Young Guns which will only be found in every 120 packs. Canvas Young Guns will be found one in every 48 packs.

NHL Draft single prints will be cause for celebration if you land one with one card in every 12,960 packs.

Inserts, Autographs

Rookie Retrospective cards return with much tougher jersey (one in every 432 packs) and patch (# to 19) parallels.

The popular Canvas inserts are back in every seven packs, featuring both veterans stars and Young Guns.  Much tougher to find will be Canvas Signatures, which add an autograph and come in both Vertical and Horizontal formats with each card numbered to the featured player’s uniform number.

2020-21 Upper Deck Series 1 Canvas Patrick Kane

With a nod to the 90s, Portraits and Portraits Rookies are also back with parallels numbered to 99 or less.  The checklist will include active stars, retired standouts and rookies.  

Clear Cut Foundations are case hits with this year’s themes including Foundation Duos, Leaders Trios, Honoured Members Updates and Cup Components.  At one in every 4,000 packs, the Leaders Trios will be the toughest of the four.

Day With the Cup returns with one card in every 2,880 packs.  Ceremonial Puck Drop inserts will also be scarce with unsigned versions in every 2,880 packs and autographed copies found only in every 30,000.

The long-running Game Jersey cards feature swatches from top players with patch parallels numbered to 15.

2020-21 Upper Deck Series 1 Leon Dreisatl Game Jersey

Four new insert sets are in the works including:

NHL Worldwide, which feature players from a variety of countries with the flag of their home nation.  Die-cut parallels will be found in every 270 packs.

Upper Deck calls the Dazzlers parallel “a brightly-colored collection of full-bodied active stars.” They’ll be found one per box but look for Pink parallels falling in every 144 packs.

Predominant is an eye-catching insert with color photos offset against a black and white background.  Gold parallels will be rare, falling one per 260 packs.

Debut Dates commemorates the first NHL game for last year’s top rookies.  They’ll be found one per box with rare jersey (1 in every 432 packs) and patch (# to 25) parallels also possible.

Signature Sensations autographs will be found in every 276 packs

You can see 2020-21 Upper Deck Series 1 hockey boxes and hand-collated sets for sale on eBay here.
