2023-04-01 -

WHAT IS IT?:

There’s no such thing as too much of a good thing. That’s why UD is keeping the party going with a third series of its flagship brand, offering more veterans, more Young Guns, and a slew of retro inserts.

THE BASICS:

There’s a 200-card shell set (#501-700), along with 50 short prints that combine to drop 1:4 packs. This group includes 30 Young Guns and 20 1st Round Rookies, a subset for rookies taken in the first round of the NHL Dra. Parallels continue to be a big part of the draw, including French (Vets 1:60; SPs 1:120), Clear Cut (Vets 1:192; SPs 1:288), Exclusives (/100), and High Gloss (/10).

Also look for UD Canvas Base (#271-360 1:8) and Young Guns (#361-390 1:48), plus new Legends (#391-405; 1:192) and AllStar Weekend (1:192) subsets. Each card offers the spectrum of 1/1 Printing Plates. UD Canvas Black & White Variations add to the chase with Base (1:120), Young Guns (1:270), and Legends (1:1,080).
