Not only does 2022-23 Upper Deck Allure Hockey bring back its traditional mix of colors, it’s adding a glitter bomb. The chrome release also promises an autograph per hobby box plus lots of other inserts.
2022-23 Upper Deck Allure Hockey Checklist Overview
The base set is a fairly modest 150 cards. The first 100 are veteran stars while rookies, which land one per pack, are the final 50.
Similar to O-Pee-Chee Platinum and virtually every other chromium release, there is no shortage of parallels, averaging out to about one per pack:
- Black Rainbow – 1:2.7 packs, Rookies – 1:5.4 packs
- Red Rainbow – 1:4.5 packs, Rookies – 1:9 packs
- Orange Slice Die-Cut – 1:13.5 packs, Rookies – 1:27 packs
- Steel – 1:135 packs, Rookies – 1:TBA
- Pink Leopard – 1:225 packs, Rookies – 1:450 packs
- Gold Glitter Bomb – /199
- Green Rainbow Die-Cut – /99
- Blue Line – /35
- Purple Diamond Die-Cut – /10
- Golden Treasures – 1/1
- Printing Plates – 1/1
The base set is also the inspiration for a good chunk of the autographs in 2022-23 Upper Deck Allure Hockey:
- Red Rainbow Autographs – 1:60 packs, Rookies – 1:32 packs
- Pink Leopard Autographs
- Blue Line Autographs – /35
- Blue Line Auto Jersey – /25, Rookies – /75 or /35
- Purple Diamond Die-Cut – /10
- Purple Diamond Auto Patch – /10
- Golden Treasures – 1/1
Photo Variations have also be added to the mix, landing 1:15 packs.
Color Flow
The 2022-23 Upper Deck Allure Hockey checklist has a generous amount of inserts as well.
Kicking things off is the sophomore edition of Color Flow. The idea behind these is that, when put side by side in the proper order, the parallel rainbow will seemless flow through the colors of the rainbow. While they average one per pack, there are several different levels:
- Red-Orange – 1:2 packs
- Orange-Yellow – 1:4 packs
- Yellow-Green – 1:8 packs
- Green-Blue – 1:12 packs
- Blue-Purple – 1:25 packs
Spectrum parallels have also been added for these, including a little gold at the end of the rainbow:
- Red-Orange Spectrum – /100
- Orange-Yellow Spectrum – /85
- Yellow-Green Spectrum – /65
- Green-Blue Spectrum – /50
- Blue-Purple Spectrum – /35
- Golden Treasures – 1/1
Full Rainbow Autographs and Golden Treasures Autographs are also available.
Additional Inserts and Autographs
Doubloons are one of the new additions in 2022-23 Upper Deck Allure Hockey. Landing 1:160 hobby packs, they’re tough. The design, which includes laser etching, is double-sided.
Check Please is another debut. Putting the spotlight on some of the more physical players in the NHL, base versions are 1:45 packs with one-of-one Golden Treasures and numbered autograph versions also available.
After being a surprise in 2021-22 Allure, 16-Bit inserts return for a second round of video game-inspired designs. At 1:810 hobby packs, they’re scarce.
All-Time Allure is another rarity with 1:320 pack odds.
Allure Quartz have a die-cut design. Veterans are 1:12 packs while rookies fall 1:22.5 packs. Both have Golden Treasures (1/1) parallels. Some also have Autographs (1:500 packs) and Blue Autographs (/10).
Blockers (1:5.14 packs), Game Stills (1:9 packs) and Runways (1:9 packs) are among the other new inserts. There’s also the returning Iced Out (1:7.2 packs). All four of these have Red (/299), Green (/99), Purple (/10) and Golden Treasures (1/1) parallels as well as tough inserts.
