A lot of things seem to happen in threes like celebrity deaths, company, and several parts of the 2022-23 Upper Deck Trilogy Hockey checklist. Bringing back its trademark three-level rookie set-up, the numerical theme carries over into other part of the checklist as well.
Hobby boxes have both an autograph and a memorabilia cards. Three parallels and three rookies are also among what collectors can expect.
2022-23 Upper Deck Trilogy Hockey Checklist Overview
The base set has 250 total cards. However, with that are a handful of sections.
Veterans account for the first 100 cards. Red, Blue and Green parallels each have Common, Uncommon and Rare versions, each with different print runs:
Red – Common /499, Uncommon /299, Rare /149
Blue – Common /199, Uncommon /99, Rare /25
Green – Common /99, Uncommon /25, Rare /10
Vets also have one-of-one Purple parallels.
Select cards also get the signature and swatch treatments with Jersey (1:28 hobby packs), Gold Auto (1:48), Patch, Patch Auto and Purple Auto (1/1) versions.
Fifty rookies are on the 2022-23 Upper Deck Trilogy Hockey checklist, each with Common (/999), Uncommon (/699) and Rare (/299) versions. This means all 50 featured rookies have three different cards across Trilogy’s master base set.
Parallels include:
Common – Red /299, Blue /199, Green /99, Purple 1/1
Uncommon – Red /149, Blue /99, Green /25
Rare – Red /49, Blue /25, Green /10
Like the set’s vets, rookies have autographs and memorabilia as well. Gold Autographs for Common Rookies come in four levels, numbered between 49 and 449 copies. There are also Jersey (/499) and Purple Autograph (1/1) versions. Uncommon Rookies Gold Autographs have either 149, 99 or 49 copies each. Patch parallels are numbered to 49. Rare Rookies Gold Autographs are tough with print runs of 33, 13 or 3. Tags have five copies.
Autographs and Memorabilia Cards
One of the hallmarks of Trilogy Hockey outside of the three levels of rookies is the use of manufactured pucks as a signing surface. This tradition continues in 2022-23 Upper Deck Trilogy Hockey, taking on a few forms.
Signature Pucks land 1:42 hobby packs. These have Team Logo (/23) and NHL Shield Logo (/3) versions. Rookie Signature Pucks are tougher at 1:144 packs. Parallels are the same, though.
Jumping back in time are 2021-22 Rookie Update Signature Pucks (1:720). Team Logo parallels have 22 copies while NHL Shield Logo versions are numbered to 2.
Goalies past and present star in Signature Puckstoppers (1:360 packs) along with their Team Logo (/23) and NHL Shield Logo (/3) versions.
The 2022-23 Trilogy Hockey checklist includes some other on-card autograph sets including Auto Focus (1:480), Auto Focus Rookies (1:1,200), Crystalized Signatures (1:480) and a new batch of five Scripted Hall of Fame Plaques, each of which has 25 copies.
On the memorabilia side, Honorary Triple Swatches (/35 or less) have three different game-used swatches. Triple Relics (/35) all have premium pieces from three different players.
Additional Inserts
Plexiglass inserts return in 2022-23 Upper Deck Trilogy Hockey. Frozen in Time (/275) has superstars from both the present and the past. Frost Blue (/50) and Black Ice (1/1) make up the parallels.
Rookie Premier offers an upgraded version of the main set’s 50 rookies. Base versions have 299 copies with additional Gold Tint (/50) and Black Ice (1/1) parallels available. 2005-06 Rookie Premier Retro (/99) take the design back in time.
More first-year content is available in Rookie Renditions (1:5 packs). Standard parallels for these land in Red (/799), Blue (/399), Green (/99) and Pink (/25). There are also Jersey versions (1:25) with their own Patch (/25) and Purple Patch (1/1) versions as well as Autographs (/99 or less), Patch Autographs (/49 or less), Gold Autographs (/15) and Purple Patch Autographs (1/1).
Trilogy Generations (1:4) mixes current, retired and future standouts on its checklist.

Memorabilia versions include Jersey (/99), Patch (/15) and Purple Patch (1/1).
