Upper Deck, the renowned sports collectibles company, is set to release a special boxed set to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Boston Bruins, one of the most storied franchises in sports history. This limited edition Upper Deck Boston Bruins Centennial Box Set is a dream come true for collectors, featuring a comprehensive base set, exciting chase elements, and the chance to find rare autographs.
Scheduled to hit the shelves on Wednesday, December 6th, this collector’s item is packed with goodies that will thrill both Bruins fans and sports card collectors alike. The base set consists of 100 cards that showcase a mix of the Bruins’ legendary players and current stars. From Bobby Orr’s incredible talents to the present-day brilliance of players like Zdeno Chara and Brad Marchand, this set truly captures the essence of the franchise.
Adding to the excitement, the Centennial Box Set includes five different types of inserts and parallels. Collectors will find an array of chase elements that make each pack an adventure. And for those lucky enough to stumble upon them, autographs from fifty current and former Bruins players await discovery.
Each base card in the set is available in two parallel versions: yellow and gold spectrum. While a standard box will typically contain three yellow parallels and one gold spectrum, collectors will also be treated to the joy of finding an insert card. The insert set, aptly named “Beantown Classics,” pays homage to twenty of the greatest Bruins players from various eras. This homage to the franchise’s rich history truly sets this card set apart.
Of course, autograph enthusiasts will have their eyes peeled for the rare treat of finding a signed card in their box. Fifty current and former Bruins players have graciously contributed their signatures to this set, making it a true collectors’ treasure. However, these autographs are included in only one out of every ten sets, making the hunt for them all the more thrilling. And signatures from legendary players like Bobby Orr, Rogie Vachon, Ray Bourque, Cam Neely, and Paul Coffey will prove to be particularly elusive, driving collectors to new heights.
Priced at around $50 per set, this centennial box set offers Bruins fans and sports card collectors an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of hockey history. Not only does it capture the essence of the Boston Bruins’ rich legacy, but it also gives collectors a chance to cherish the memories of their favorite players, both past and present.
As the anniversary of the Boston Bruins approaches, fans and collectors alike are eagerly awaiting the release of this special boxed set. With its comprehensive base set, exciting chase elements, and the possibility of finding rare autographs, the Upper Deck Boston Bruins Centennial Box Set is a must-have for anyone who wants to celebrate 100 years of incredible hockey moments. So mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 6th, and get ready to own a piece of history.
