New this year are Color Flow Stanley Cup cards, featuring field hockey's most prestigious trophy. They are limited to three main versions, but with high odds: Red-Orange (1:200), Yellow-Green (1:267) and Blue-Violet (1:800). Their respective Spectrum parallels are numbered 99, 50 and 10. The autograph of the complete rainbow is 1:2,160 packs.
Retro gaming takes center stage on the Upper Deck Allure Hockey 2023-24 checklist with a new batch of 16 Bit inserts. These reimagine current players and rookies with the pixel art found in games like NHL 95. With odds of 1:576 for the hobby pack, they're among the hardest cards in the product to obtain.
Doubloons take a similar approach to rarity. The look is very different, however: the stars of yesterday, today and tomorrow stand out against a golden background. Doubloons fall 1:108 hobby packs .
Other Allure inserts include Polished Pros(1:6 packs), Iced Breakaway (1:7 packs), Lumber Masters (1:8 packs) and Golden Goalies (1:11 packs). These four inserts have orange (/399), green (/249), red (/99), purple (/10) and Golden Treasures (1/1) parallels.
Selected cards also feature autographs.
