2019-20 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Hobby Box

2019-20 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Hobby Box

Kicking off a new season of NHL card collecting, the 2019-20 edition of Upper Deck MVP Hockey maintains the affordable box price and fairly simple layout that fans have come to expect.

Primarily geared towards parallels and inserts, each Hobby box offers a healthy assortment of both. While the release is the same as 2018-19, there are several new options waiting inside. The set can also be found on ePack, but not until a month after the Hobby release date.

2019-20 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Base / Parallels
Collectors start the new year with a 250-card base set that features 50 High-Series cards at 1:2 packs each.

Parallels include the Puzzle Back and Silver Script editions, averaging 1:4 packs, as well as the low-numbered Super Script (#/25), Black Super Script (#/5) and Printing Plates (1/1).

2019-20 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Rookie Redemptions
Benefiting from the first rookie cards of the year, the 2019-20 Upper Deck MVP Hockey checklist offers four different sets of divisional rookie redemptions (1:400 packs) and the rare 2019 First Draft Pick SP (1:1,250 packs)/Gold Auto (1:12,500 packs). The rookie redemptions combine to act as a success story, on average.

2019-20 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Inserts.
While the 2018-19 MVP honored the 20th anniversary of the entire brand with a throwback to the first design, the 2019-20 Upper Deck MVP Hockey continues to celebrate past MVP sets, but this time for the 20th anniversary of the 1999-00 Stanley Cup Edition MVP. The Stanley Cup Edition tribute set consists of 100 cards. These have Silver Script (1:5 packs) and Super Script (#/25) parallels, plus die-cut Colors & Contours versions, including gold and purple Spectrum Light FX backgrounds (#/99).

New rainbow inserts can be found in Laser Shots (1:13 packs), Net Crashers (1:17 packs) and Supernovas (1:25 packs). The average is three per Hobby box. The Laser Shots set also has a Red parallel (1:50 packs).
