Among the handful of parallels, each Hobby box averages one French edition. Fans can also track down the Hobby-exclusive Clear Cut cards.

2022-23 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey Base Parallels Breakdown

Always a popular feature in the flagship product, the 120-card UD Canvas set covers veterans (1:7 packs) and Young Guns (1:48 packs), as well as adding Printing Plates (1/1).

Unannounced content includes Image Variations, featuring pre-game or post-game attire, and Black & White UD Canvas cards.

2022-23 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey Inserts

Of course, insert content is a key component for 2022-23 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey. Look for several debuts this time, including Center of Attention (1:16 packs). The set naturally puts the focus on top centers.

Utilizing bright colors and a graffiti-based design, Freestyles (1:72 packs) is one of the more eye-catching looks for '22-23.

Also new, Population Count plays on the grading terminology with versions limited to 1,000 copies or less (1000, 500, 100, 50, 25, 10, and 1/1).

Returning inserts include Dazzlers, Honor Roll (1:12 packs) and UD Portraits.

Turning to the acetate inserts in 2022-23 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey, the Clear Cut Honoured Members Update set (#/100) adds nine new names. There are also multi-subject Clear Cut Foundations (1:360 packs) and Clear Cut League Leaders (1:4,000 packs) cards. Another debut, Attacking Zone (1:1,152 packs) takes a die-cut approach for centers and wingers with a three-sided layout.

New this year is the surprise Home Ice set, with a glow-in-the-dark finish. The unannounced Fanimation insert is also back.

Other rarities include Day With The Cup (1:4,320 packs).
