The release of hockey cards may be slow this year, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Collectors should begin readying for a  season and can do that with Upper Deck’s 2012-13 SP Game Used, which released today.

The product features five packs with a hit in each pack. There is at least one autograph in every box.

For a reminder, here is Beckett’s preview for SP Game Used.

In the meantime, let’s check out what has been coming out 2012-13 SP Game Used.

Supreme Colors: These extra big memorabilia cards feature some filthy patches with multiple colors. It’s not just jerseys, but other types of hockey memorabilia such as goalie pads.

The highlight of the pulls so far has been this Wayne Gretzky Supreme Patches three-color jersey. Look for more of these types of cards coming out soon.

Stanley Cup Materials: Collectors can get pieces of the nets used in the last Stanley Cup in 2012-13 SP Game Used.

- Justin Williams
- Dustin Brown

Rookies: While there isn’t a load of high-profile rookies in these products yet, there are still some players garnering interest from collectors. New York Rangers rookie Chris Kreider has been on the most collectible rookie this offseason, collectors haven’t forgotten about Sven Baertschi, a Swiss hockey player with the Calgary Flames.

- Inked Rookie Sweaters /99
- Authentic Fabrics

Other Memorabilia: One of the unique things about collecting hockey cards is the vast amount of materials card manufacturers can use: jerseys, skate laces, pads, fight straps, gloves, and sticks. SP Game Used utilizes a number of those items in the product.
- Fight Straps

There’s an early look at 2012-13 SP Game Used. The post will be updated throughout the day as different items pop up.
