2023-24 Upper Deck Clear Cut Hockey Details
2023-24 Upper Deck Clear Cut Hockey is about as transparent as a card set can get. Everything’s acetate and (almost) everything has an autograph. Like past years, collectors can expect to find one card per hobby box.
2023-24 Upper Deck Clear Cut Hockey Checklist Overview
Base Autographs take on the same general layout as the flagship 2023-24 Upper Deck Hockey set. The checklist isn’t quite the same, though. Here, it’s a mix of vets, rookies and retired stars. Cards are done on acetate, giving them a clear look and a plastic feel. Veterans are 1:6 packs, rookies land 1:4 and Legends are at at 1:60 packs.
Parallels are also familiar to the main set with Outburst (/25), High Gloss (/10) and Gold Outburst (1/1).
Another set making the flagship jump is UD Canvas Signatures (1:12 packs). Red Ink versions are limited to the player’s jersey number while Gold Ink are one-of-ones.
Sticking with the Canvas theme are Canvas Rookie Debut Signatures (/25). These also have unsigned versions. These are the only cards in 2023-24 Upper Deck Clear Cut Hockey without autographs. They are a bonus in boxes that have a redemption.
Additional Autographs
Many of the other autographs on the checklist get their inspiration from other brands. Black Diamond has 1998-99 Myriad (1:54 packs) with additional Rookies (1:22 packs) and Legends (1:180 packs). These have Blue (/25) and Gold (1/1) parallels.
Champs Autographs lend a throwback vibe to the modern product. These also have vets (1:12 packs), Rookies (1:105 packs) and Legends (1:105 packs) along with Blue (/50), Red (/10) and Black (1/1) versions.
Other retro designs include 1998-99 Ionix Authentics (1:30 packs), 2003-04 UD Classic Portraits (1:40 packs), and 2006-07 Upper Deck Sweet Shot Autographs (1:25 packs).
Rookie Retro Autographs (1:45 packs) recreate well known Rookie Cards as acetate signatures. These draw from a variety of brands and years.
Clearly Revered Autographs (1:45 packs) has an all-legends checklist. Blue (/25) and Gold (1/1) parallels are also available for these dual-image cards.
Supreme Skill (veterans – 1:30 packs, rookies – 1:17 packs) round things out. These have have Blue (/25) and Gold (1/1) versions.
