New to the NHL hobby, 2017-18 Upper Deck Synergy Hockey operates with considerable rarity and extensive parallel choices in mind. Each hobby box averages around 15 color parallels per box, while the rare autographs drop two per inner case.

2017-18 Upper Deck Synergy NHL also ties in with the UD Bounty Program to reward collectors who build the base set.

2017-18 Upper Deck Synergy Base / Rookies

Totaling 100 cards, the 2017-18 Upper Deck Synergy Hockey checklist includes some of the rarest base cards in the hobby. Base Veterans are numbered to 17 copies, while the Legends High Series subjects drop that amount to only eight copies. Similarly, the Rookies are kept to either 18 (cards #51-90) or eight total cards (#91-100).

Although this might seem daunting, the base parallels are much more common, with Red, Blue, Green and Purple versions. Falling roughly 15 per box overall, these extend to the whole base set. See the full breakdown for the parallel odds below.

The final two cards in the set (#99 and #100) are exclusive to Upper Deck Bounty and are redeemed by building the entire Red set (#1-98). The faster you complete the set, the better the award haul will be. It is important to note that only approximately 1:3 Red variants will have redeemable Bounty codes.

2017-18 Upper Deck Synergy Autographs / Inserts

Although not as much based around the premium hits of other sets, 2017-18 Upper Deck Synergy Hockey does have rare Synergy Autographs (1:40 packs) for top names that fall about 1:5 boxes.

Finishing with acetate and/or die-cut rainbow foil, the 2017-18 Upper Deck Synergy inserts also have an added low-numbered element of their own. Themed sets include Career Spanning (1:7 packs), Impact Players (1:3 packs) and Noteworthy Newcomers (1:5 packs). Plus, they each have Red Matrix (#/86 or less), Blue Hyperplaid (#/46 or less), and Green Diamond (#/16 or less) parallels.

Another chase of note is the all-metal Cast for Greatness (1:67 packs) insert. The 36-card set features 25 veterans, five legends and six rookies. The final card, Connor McDavid (card #36), is only available through the Bounty Program.

Broken down into four groupings, Exceptional Talent offers Tier 1 (1:8), Tier 2 (1:16), Tier 3 (1:24) and Tier 4 (1:48) subsets. Finally, the Color Shift insert is a surprise addition that actually changes color when exposed to bright light.
