2022-23 UPPER DECK ARTIFACTS HOCKEY CHECKLIST AND OVERVIEW

2022-23 Upper Deck Artifacts Hockey sees the long-running brand return with a similar mix of cornerstone content like a deep mix of memorabilia cards and extended roster of rookie redemptions. While not an entry-level product, Artifacts is also a release lets collectors dabble in premium content without the price point of some of the sport’s super-premium releases.


Hobby boxes include three total autographs, memorabilia cards or premium “tech” inserts. There’s also four serial-numbered parallels (one /99 or less) and either a Rookie Redemption or acetate insert.
