This is item is for a sealed hobby box of 2021-22 UPPER DECK HOCKEY SKYBOX METAL UNIVERSE HOBBY
An homage, of sorts, to '90s collecting, 2021-22 Skybox Metal Universe Hockey sees the return of Upper Deck's retro NHL brand for year two.
Similar to Fleer Retro and Fleer Showcase, the throwback-inspired release is heavily geared to inserts and parallels.
Although the 2020-21 product specifically mentions one autograph per Hobby box, the '21-22 box hit can be an autograph, PMG, Jambalaya, or "other coveted cards."
The main set for 2021-22 Skybox Metal Universe Hockey consists of base (#1-100), Alternate Jersey (#101-150; 1:2 packs) and rookie (#151-200; 1:2 packs) cards. Each pack should have either a base rookie card or alternate jersey edition.
Showcasing background artwork from 1997-98 Skybox Metal Universe Basketball, 1997-98 Retros (1:5 packs) also has a Purple Spectrum (#/199) parallel.
In addition to Printing Plates, all four subsets come as Precious Metal Gems (PMG) versions, which have long been a hobby favorite. While the Green/Red PMG cards total 100 copies, the first 10 cards are green and the final 90 are red.
The 2021-22 Skybox Metal Universe Hockey checklist really opens up with the insert selection. One key choice is Skybox Premium Prospects (1:5 packs), adding several rarity tiers.
