Covering stars and legends, the Hockey SP Game Used 2023-24 checklist opens with a basic set of 200 cards. A further 80 cards are reserved for the popular Authentic Rookies subset. For rarity's sake, the real base cards are numbered according to the player's jersey number.
For certain players in the main set, the last card in the series is accompanied by an autograph.
In addition to the standard base parallels, which are more numerous than the base cards, there are also limited parallels of relics, autographs and auto-relics.
As for inserts, the 2023-24 SP Game Used Hockey pays homage to the past with the Retro Rookie Crossover 2001 (#/499) and the Rookie Debut Retros 2003-04 (#/499).
Featuring a "unique cut design", Deep Cuts (#/250) is a new insert for 23-24.
2023-24 SP Game Used Hockey also offers returning auto-relic sets, including Banner Year Auto Relic and New Grooves Auto Relic.
Inked Sweaters and Inked Rookie Sweaters cards are another brand staple.
Limited to 35 copies per letter patch manufactured, the Draft Day Marks series allows fans to build the player's complete plaque.
However, not all autographs come with memorabilia in the 2023-24 SP Game Used Hockey series. Debuts consist of Deep Cuts Auto (#/75 or #/25) and SIGNED (1:24), covering 30 leading veterans.
Naturally, the relic part of 2023-24 SP Game Used Hockey is massive.
