Young Guns Retro Acetate cards aren’t the only surprise inserts in 2017-18 Upper Deck Series 2. Day with the Cup Flashbacks return as well, this time honoring the Colorado Avalanche’s 2001 Stanley Cup victory.
Like other unannounced inserts from the card maker, insertion rates for the 2017-18 Upper Deck Series 2 Day with the Cup Flashbacks are not known. However, they appear to be extremely tough to pull. Print runs are also unknown.
While the cards show Avalanche players with the Stanley Cup, they’re a little bit different from the regular Day with the Cup cards. For the Flashbacks, images come from immediately after the win and the celebration that ensued. Players are not shown on their off-season day when the Stanley Cup comes to them and the ensuing fun.
Day with the Cup Flashback inserts started in 2014-15 Upper Deck Series 2, paying tribute to the 1991 Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
