Thanks to the Future Watch (FW) rookies and a large selection of on-card autographs, 2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey remains one of Upper Deck's most popular card brands.
Although the Hobby box format gets an update, switching from 18 packs of five cards to 10 packs of nine cards, the total card amount is unchanged. Each box still averages one Future Watch autograph and one additional autograph.
2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey Base / Parallels
Covering 100 veterans, the 2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey checklist starts with a small base set.
These add an expanded selection of Limited parallels plus Limited Auto (1:60 packs) editions.
2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey Future Watch Rookies
Joining the base cards, 2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey also features the very popular Future Watch Rookies (#/999) subset. These, too, come as unsigned Limited parallels.
Honoring a past design are the unsigned 2001-02 Retro Future Watch (#/900) and SP Limited parallel (#/150) cards.
With the hard-signed Autographed Future Watch cards, a "Debut Date" inscription accompanies the first 50 cards in the print run (#1/999 to #50/999).
In addition, look for several hard-signed auto-patch Future Watch cards, including Future Watch Auto Patch (#/100) and 2011-12 Retro Future Watch Auto Patch (#/99 or less)
While every box averages at least one on-card Future Watch card, the second autograph can also be an FW card.
2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey Inserts
As for the inserts, new sets include Pageantry (1:2 packs), SP Die-Cuts (1:5 packs) and SP Top Rookies (1:3 packs).
Another debut is the short-printed SP Holofoils (1:160 packs), utilizing hologram technology.
2021-22 SP Authentic Hockey - Other Autographs
