Collectors have been marking their calendars for the release of 2018-19 NHL® Upper Deck Series One and new Young Guns rookie cards on Thursday, November 8, 2018. One day after the release of this flagship product for Upper Deck is one of the biggest collecting shows of the year in Toronto known as the Fall Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo. This season boasts some incredible rookies that fans have been chomping at the bit to add to their collections like Elias Pettersson (Vancouver Canucks), Jesperi Kotkaniemi (Montreal Canadiens), Ryan Donato (Boston Bruins), Rasmus Dahlin (Buffalo Sabres), Miro Heiskanen (Dallas Stars), Michael Rasmussen (Detroit Red Wings), Jordan Greenway (Minnesota Wild), Henri Jokiharju (Chicago Blackhawks), Evan Bouchard (Edmonton Oilers), Eeli Tolvanen (Nashville Predators), Dillon Dube (Calgary Flames), Anthony Cirelli (Tampa Bay), and many more.
The International Centre in Missisauga, Ontario will be home to the Fall Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo from November 9-11. Upper Deck will make it an event worth being a part of!
Upper Deck Authenticated Monumental Blind Boxes
Upper Deck Authenticated launched the Monumental product at the 2017 National Sports Collectors Convention and it stole the show! For the last two Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo events, UDA offered Monumental with an all hockey theme that have been wildly successful and have sold out each time. UDA is producing only 50 of these blind boxes with them allocated per day. Friday there will be 15 boxes available for sale on a first-come, first-serve basis, with 25 allocated for Saturday and 10 more allocated for Sunday. Each box contains three random Upper Deck Authenticated hockey signed collectibles and they are available for $700 Canadian plus tax.
Upper Deck Singles Day
EVERY Upper Deck Certified Diamond Dealer in attendance at the 2018 Fall Expo will have the opportunity to carry Upper Deck Singles Day Winter packs starting on Saturday, November 10. Collectors making Upper Deck purchases from participating dealers at the show can score these packs and participate in an incredible Bounty program where they can score a set of parallel cards numbered to 99 or incredible autograph cards just for completing a 15-card set.
More than that, dealers participating in the Singles Day promotion will be able to help collectors complete sets of 2018 Goodwin Champions and 2018-19 NHL® O-Pee-Chee where they can also award them with four-color set boxes.
One of the elements of Singles Day that is getting the most attention in Canada are the Len “Kroppy” Kropioski cards that will be available with these kits that dealers will provide free to military veterans. This heroic and patriotic veteran of the Canadian Army veteran was a huge fan of the Winnipeg Jets and became a special part of the team as he would make a two-hour journey just to attend games. With all the media attention around this card, we anticipate this will be a big draw for fans attending the show, especially on Remembrance Day.
Dealers looking to purchase these kits can score them directly at the show from Grosnor and Universal Distribution.
