Upper Deck, one of the leading trading card companies, is gearing up to release a special boxed set to honor the 100th anniversary of the Boston Bruins. As one of the most storied franchises in sports, the Bruins have captivated fans for a century with their thrilling performances and legendary players.
Scheduled to hit the shelves on Wednesday, December 6, the Upper Deck Boston Bruins Centennial Box Set is a must-have for both Bruins fans and sports card collectors. This comprehensive set is filled with base cards, chase elements, and even the chance to score autographs from current and former Bruins players.
The centerpiece of this centennial box set is the base set of 100 cards. These cards showcase a mix of the Bruins’ legendary players, who have left an indelible mark on the franchise, as well as the current stars who continue to thrill fans. With stunning designs and captivating images, the base set is a collector’s dream.
Adding to the excitement are five different types of inserts and parallels. Each base card is available in two parallel versions: yellow and gold spectrum. Collectors will find three yellow parallels and one gold spectrum card in a typical box. These parallels add a unique touch to the collection, making them highly sought after by enthusiasts.
But the surprises don’t end there. The insert set, appropriately named “Beantown Classics,” pays homage to 20 of the greatest Bruins players from various eras. Featuring iconic moments and unforgettable performances, these 20 cards are sure to bring back fond memories for Bruins fans.
The highlight of the set for autograph enthusiasts is the inclusion of signed cards from fifty current and former Bruins players. However, as with any valuable collectible, finding an autographed card will be a rare treat. Autographs are included in only one out of every ten sets, making them highly coveted by fans and collectors alike.
And while any autograph from a Bruins player is special, the signatures of legendary players like Bobby Orr, Rogie Vachon, Ray Bourque, Cam Neely, and Paul Coffey will be particularly elusive. An autograph from one of these icons would truly be a treasure for die-hard Bruins fans.
With a price tag of around $50 per set, the Upper Deck Boston Bruins Centennial Box Set offers Bruins fans and sports card collectors a unique opportunity to own a piece of hockey history. This set is more than just a collection of cards; it’s a celebration of a century of excellence, filled with the excitement and nostalgia that only the Boston Bruins can provide.
So, mark your calendars for December 6th and get ready to lace up your skates and join the Bruins on their journey through 100 years of hockey greatness. Don’t miss out on this chance to own a piece of Bruins history!
