2026-27 UPPER DECK FLAIR HOCKEY HOBBY BOX
Each 2026-27 Upper Deck Flair Hockey Hobby Box contains 10 packs with 4 cards in each pack!
Following its triumphant return to the sports card market in 2025-26 after a nearly 20-year absence, Flair Hockey is back to give collectors more of what they love about this legendary brand! With well-known Flair standards such as Center Spotlight, Hot Gloves, Hot Numbers, Scoring Power and Wave of the Future intermingled with spectacular new inserts such as Diagrams, Keys for Success, Passage of Time and Wooooooooo!, along with an elegant Base Set sporting an extensive parallel and variant lineup full of chase cards, 2026-27 Flair Hockey is bound to be as exciting as the game of hockey itself! Collectors young and old will appreciate the bold intersection of technology, design and luxury finishing.
The Base Set
More than double the standard card thickness and boasting an elegant triple-photo design (two on the front, one on the back) accented with beautiful deco foiling and a glossy laminate finish, each Flair Hockey Base Set card is a treasure. Collect all 200 cards featuring the best veteran players in the game and the top rookies – all sporting an “RC” foil stamp. The Base Set includes at least five players from each team and, like Flair Base Sets of the past, it is checklisted alphabetically by team. Collect one (1) Veteran and one (1) additional Veteran or Rookie Base Set card per pack and keep an eye out for the Printing Plates used in the production of the Base Set.
The parallel lineup includes three numbered newcomers (Copper, Purple and Silver) along with these returning favorites: Autograph (one in every 25 packs), Blue Ice (#’d to 99) and Spectrum (#’d to 10).
Keep an eye out for amazing Forecheck Variant (#’d to 399) and Backcheck Variant (#’d to 299) card sporting a third player image on the front! Lucky collectors will pull Blue Ice parallels of the Forecheck Variant, each numbered to just 49, and the heavily sought-after 1-of-1 Spectrum parallels of the Backcheck Variant!
