Release date: 2024-11-20

Box of 1 pack

Pack of 6 cards

Case of 10 boxes

2023-24 Upper Deck Engrained Hockey presents high-end stick work, returning for the first time since 2019-20. While the checklist contains plenty of autographs and commemorative cards, much of the content uses stick-inspired themes.


Hobby boxes include an autograph plus two additional shots from signatures, memorabilia or premium inserts made on wood or metal.

What you can expect from a hobby box:

  • Autograph Signature Shots - 1
  • Additional autographs, Memorabilia cards, Carved in Time or ElectroCast - 2 Total
  • Synthesis or Base Parallel /49 or less - 1 Total
  • 2022-23 or 2023-24 Rookie - 1 Total
  • Veteran or Legends Base Card - 1 Total

The oak-themed base set has a total of 200 cards. But there are also a handful of subsets. Sixty-five veterans (/349) are followed by 35 Legends cards (/299). The 2023-24 rookies (/399) total 65 cards. Lost years are replaced by 25 2022-23 Rookie Update cards and 10 2021-22 Rookie Update cards numbered up to 299.

The 2021-22 cards are bonus cards in the hobby boxes, giving a total of seven cards instead of the usual six.

Parallels include different types of wood: ebony (/49), mahogany (/10) and rosewood (1/1). Veterans and legends also have white birch (/20).

In addition, there are a variety of hit-based parallels for certain cards:

  • Ebony Premium Memorabilia
  • Oak Autographs
  • White Burch Autographs
  • Mahogany Premium Memorabilia Autographs
  • Rosewood Autographs (1/1)

One of the autographs in each hobby box is a Signature Shots autograph. These autographs use a carbon-fiber piece for the signature area, rather than being affixed directly to the card or with a typical sticker.

Standard Veteran Signature Shots and Legendary Signature Shots both have red (/10) and blue (1/1) parallels. Rookie Signature Shots have four levels of rarity, with print runs ranging from 299 to 49. Available parallels are red (/99 or less), green (/75 or less) and blue (1/1).

The checklist also includes the 2022-23 Rookie Update Signature Shots, which have a similar configuration and print run to the 2023-24 rookies. Complete Sticks (/25) and Complete Sticks Signatures (/25) come with three stick parts, all from different parts.

Clutch Components, which have both signed and unsigned versions, have a sample stick and glove.

Other autographed inserts and memorabilia in the 2023-24 Upper Deck Engrained Hockey checklist include remnants (packs of 1:6), Flexures autographs (packs of 1:25), signature remnants, honorary engravings (/100), rare remnants (/25), branded materials (/15), Tandem twigs (/5), stick nameplates (1/1), double stick nameplates (1/1) and distinctive marks (1/1).

2023-24 Upper Deck Engrained Hockey features three additional sets of inserts, each using a different type of material. Carved in Time (1:5 packs) is made on wood using laser engraving. Autographs are 1:30 packs.

Metal is the ElectroCast base (1:3 packs). Signed versions using paint pens fall every ten packs, and gold parallels are numbered up to 15.

Synthetics (1:2 packs) use plexi material. Parallels include Red (1:10 packs) and Blue (1:30 packs), while autographs are 1:30 packs. Red Ink autographs are also available.
