2025-26 Upper Deck Credentials Hockey Details
2025-26 Upper Deck Credentials brings a lot of color and refreshed content in its sixth year.
Home to the Debut Ticket Access rookie cards, collectors will see an overhaul of the design this year, as Upper Deck moves away from a ticket design for the first time.
Collectors can still expect one autograph and a handful of numbered cards and inserts in every hobby box.
2025-26 Upper Deck Credentials Hockey Checklist Overview
The base set is broken into two segments — veterans and Debut Ticket Access, which represent the product’s rookie cards.
Veterans have 100 cards with five levels of numbered parallels:
- Blue /199
- Green /25
- Purple /10
- Gold /5
- Black /1
Select players also have hard-signed autographs, which land 1:16 packs, and have additional Purple (/10) and Black (1/1) parallels.
Since the product’s inception in 2019-20, Debut Ticket Access cards have included a ticketing theme, but the rookies have a revamped look this year with a colorful, geometric background pattern over top of a faded team logo.
Base versions are still numbered to /999, and collectors again need seven colorful parallels to make a complete rainbow.
- Red /249
- Blue /199
- Pink /99
- Green /25
- Purple /10
- Gold /5
- Black /1
Like the veterans, select rookies also have hard-signed autographed versions of their Debut Ticket Access cards. Base versions have two tiers, with cards numbered to either /199 or /99. Parallels are the same for both tiers — Green (/25), Gold (/5), and Black (1/1).
Select players also have signed and unsigned Acetate Debut Ticket Access cards (/99), and some veterans also carry Acetate Ticket Access autographs and unsigned inserts (/199).
Additional autographs include signed versions of insert themes.
- Sensational Youth Autographs (1:180 packs)
- Defined Success Autographs (1:240)
- Standing On Their Head Autographs (1:320)
- Front Row Talent Autographs (1:360)
Those same concepts make up the common inserts in the product, each falling 1:4 packs (save for Standing On Their Head at 1:5 packs). These sets each have Green (/99) and Purple (/10) parallels.
The next tier of inserts includes:
- Shaping Success (1:13 packs)
- Bright Cellys (1:20)
- Sparks Of Greatness (1:22)
Tougher still are Access Point (1:40 packs), Now Starting (1:40), and Team Tags (1:50).
Pro Visions make their return with more original art. Upper Deck has produced traditional Pro Visions inserts (1:300 packs) and a Legends set (1:600).
