The base set includes 100 veteran players with a Limited parallel that is numbered to 25. There are also Limited Autograph parallels in the form of Tier 1 (#/99) and Tier 2 (#/25).
In addition to the familiar base set, several popular subsets offer additional collecting options. This includes SP Legends (1:5 packs) and Future Watch (#/999). Particularly intriguing to collectors due to a rookie class with standouts like Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, Dylan Larkin and Artemi Panarin, the Future Watch cards are again found in both base and autographed versions. Collectors will find one Autographed Future Watch Rookie (#/999 or less) in every hobby box. There is also a Inscription Variation that is numbered #/50.
Adding to the hit totals are a variety of new signed options, including Global Chirography (1:180 packs), Great White North (1:240 packs) and Scripted Stoppers (1:480 packs). On-card autograph patch cards average two per case and largely parallel the base and Future Watch sets with limited options like Veteran Limited Auto Patch (#/100 or less) and Future Watch Limited Auto Patch (#/100).
Long a staple of SP Authentic, Sign of the Times (Tier 1 - 1:60, Tier 2 1:140) also offers Rookies, numbered to 299, 199 or 99, and multi-player options, including Duals (#/25), Trios (#/15), Quads (#/10), Sixes (#/6) and Eights (#/5). Both the base and rookies options feature limited Inscriptions Variation with varied numbering.
96-96 Retro (1:10 packs) rely on past designs and are joined by 96-96 Retro Legends (1:60 packs) and 95-96 Retro Premier Prospects (1:12 packs) and 96-96 Retro Legends (1:60 packs). Each insert also offers a rare Gold Autograph parallel. Highlighting all-time greats, Franchise Icons (#/199) are the rarest base insert option.
Marks of Distinction Gold Spectrum inserts are autographed and numbered to 25 copies. Also signed, Immortal Inks feature a print run of just ten.
Authentic Moments and All-Time Moments document notable events and each fall 1:13 packs. Offering several players, Multi-Player Authentic Moments and Multi-Player All-Time Moments average 1:50 packs. Limited signed versions are also found but they are tough pulls.
New to the release, Authentic Moments Autographed Booklets (1:1,000 packs) and Authentic Moments Dual Autographed Booklets (1:5,000 packs) feature a fold-out design and large signing area.
Presenting new subjects for sets from earlier in the year, UD Update (1:6.5 packs) and Young Gun Update (1:25 packs) inserts can each also be found in Exclusive (#/100) and High Gloss (#/10) parallels.
