2020-21 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Hockey cards bring together a lot of points of modern Canadiana. The country’s most popular sport collides with double-doubles and Timbits in restaurants from coast to coast. It’s a little later than usual this time around due to the ongoing pandemic.
2020-21 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Hockey Checklist Details
The 2020-21 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Hockey checklist kicks off with a 125-card base set. Like past years, it’s a foil look giving it a little added flair. Players are all veterans with one exception — the customary Tim Horton card that kicks off the checklist.
Red Die-Cut variants are back for a second year. Totalling 50 cards, these have a similar layout as the base set. However, there are a couple of clear differences. The background is a deep red and the corners are rounded similar to traditional playing cards. At 1:4 packs, these are the easiest inserts in 2020-21 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Hockey to pull. However, with such a large checklist, finishing the checklist is a challenge.
Canvas inserts make the jump over to 2020-21 Tim Hortons Hockey with a 15-card insert set. Similar to the UD Canvas cards in the flagship Upper Deck line, these use textured stock and put extra emphasis on compelling photos.
Last year‘s popular Franchise Duos give way to Franchise Trios. Done on lenticular stock, these give off a 3-D appearance. As the name suggests, each card has three players all from the same team.
For fans of acetate, Clear Cut Phenoms are back. Fifteen of the league’s best young players are on the checklist. These cards are printed on plastic-like see-through stock.
Other inserts on the 2020-21 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Hockey checklist include All-Star Standouts, Gold Etchings and Cup Winners. All three have 15 cards.
“The size and scale of the promotion allows us the ability to deliver the key high-technology cards that our consumers all love, including acetate, lenticulars, die-cuts and now, canvas,” Paul Zickler, Upper Deck’s hockey brand manager, told Beckett Hockey earlier in the summer.
