2024 Upper Deck Black Diamond AEW Details
2024 Upper Deck Black Diamond AEW brings a new high-end line to the world of wrestling cards. Taking many of the elements that have made the brand a mainstay in hockey, the checklist includes a generous amount of autographs, premium inserts and, of course, actual diamonds.
Hobby boxes are single-pack affairs, each with six cards. An autograph is among the guarantees.
2024 Upper Deck Black Diamond AEW Checklist Overview
The high-end nature of Black Diamond starts with its base set. Regular cards are numbered to just 185 copies. One-of-one Printing Plates are the lone standard parallels. However, there are also versions that come with diamonds embedded in them: Diamond (/25), Emerald Diamond (/10), Purple Diamond (/3) and Black Diamond (1/1).
Some cards get the autograph (1:4 packs) and Gold Relic (/35) treatment as well.
Ring Gems
The 2024 Upper Deck Black Diamond AEW checklist has some other inserts that use gems in other ways.
Band of Color creates a rainbow out of six different colored diamonds: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
Championships are on display with Title History Diamond Relics (/15) while key bouts are highlighted in Top Ranked Matches Diamond Relics (/5).
Gemography has an autograph element as well as the bling.
2024 Upper Deck AEW Black Diamond Autographs and Memorabilia Cards
It shouldn’t come as a big surprise that being a premium product that there’s some high-end autographed memorabilia components on the checklist.
These include Diamond Mine Auto Relics, AEW Champions Auto Relic Booklets (/15), Tag Team Dual Signatures Relic Booklets (/35), and Trios Triple Signature Relic Booklets (/10).
