2024-25 SPx Hockey follows in the footsteps of the brand's origins. Content has evolved along with the hobby as a whole, but SPx has always been technology-driven. In the mid-90s, it manifested itself in holograms. Today, there are other more recent innovations as well as more modern bonus additions like autographs.

Autographs
Autographs are part of the SPx 2024-25 field hockey hunt. That said, they are not part of the product's hobby box guarantees.
Superscripts (1:160 packs) and Rookie Superscripts (1:120 packs) are stand-alone themes. Both benefit from Gold parallel processing.
Other challenging autograph series include Holographs (1:240) and Star Focus Signatures (1:270).
Buyback autographs featuring original 1996-97 SPx field hockey cards are numbered to just 15 copies each.
Additional inserts
SPx's hologram-inspired roots can be found in several of the product's inserts. Among them are the Rookie Holograms (1:86 packs), which have tough Blues (/25), Reds (/10) and Golds (1/1).
Holoview F/X is back with both veteran (1:10 packs) and rookie (1:7 packs) lineups. Both versions are available in blue (/399) and red (/25).
All-Time Holoview inserts (1:40 packs) are also on the checklist for the 2024-25 SPx Hockey series.
Finite is another name associated with early SPx sets. Here, we're talking about inserts with rookies and stars that combine to fall two per box. Basic versions are numbered to 999 with additional parallels Bronze (/599), Silver (/399), Gold (/199), Violet (/99), Tuxedo (/25), Silver Spectrum (/10) and Gold Spectrum (1/1). Some players also have autographs.
While photography today is almost entirely digital, SPx Game Film (1:14 packs) takes us back to the days before iPhones, when Kodak and one-hour photo labs reigned supreme. Blue (/199) and red (/10) versions are also available.
Other inserts include Bound for Glory (1:8 packs), Excellence Redefined (1:20 packs), SPxCellence (1:100 packs), SPx Force (1:160 packs, Rookies 1:267 packs), Holo'd Hardware (1:267 packs), and Salute (1:800 packs). Several of them also have rare autograph versions.
