Upper Deck will produce a special 30-card boxed set featuring 25 players from the Capitals’ 2017-18 championship team and five cards documenting memorable moments from the regular season.
Due to be released July 6, the set will also include some randomly inserted short prints, color parallel cards in team colors numbered to 2018 and very rare silver parallel cards numbered to just 18.
