2023 Upper Deck Skybox Metal Universe Champions Hobby Box

release date - 24.04.2024

Every Box contains At Least One #'d Card, One E-X Card, Three Z-Force Cards, Three Retro 1998-99 Metal Universe Variant Cards, Three Skybox Premium Cards & Three Gold Universe and/or High Voltage Cards!

Skybox Metal Universe Champions features a large number of domestic and international high-end prospects and young stars from a variety of sports. There are also a few sporting legends, media personalities and musicians. With diverse checklists, beautiful designs and a bevy of tantalizing chase cards, Skybox Metal Universe Champions provides one of the most exciting box and case breaks in the world of card collecting and is a favorite amongst collectors!

The base set consists of 100 regular cards - each sporting a unique background design provided by the team that created the original 1997-98 Metal Universe set - and 50 high-series All-Millennium cards (a new name and design for the high-series subset).

The parallel lineup is deep and full of chase cards, highlighted by the coveted Silver Auto, Gold Auto (low-#'d) and Precious Metal Gems (PMG) parallels: Red (#'d to 100), Blue (#'d to 50), Green (#'d to 10) and Gold (#'d 1-of-1). Additionally, there are two all-new Light FX parallels: Pink FX (#'d to 75) and Orange FX (#'d to 25).

The 2023 edition sports a wide variety of intriguing inserts, including several new additions:
- NEW! Dark Matter: Lucky collectors will pull one of these rare gems built on black soft touch stock! Several of the biggest names in the product are featured in this new insert.
- NEW! E-X: These brightly-colored cards with a PETG back, a die-cut Rainbow Foil top sheet and a popped-out prospect or legend are sure to be a hit! Collect one (1) per box, on average, and keep an eye out for low-#'d Essential Credentials Then and Essential Credentials Now parallels.
- Fresh Foundations: The checklist for this popular insert features only top prospects and young stars. This set also boasts a new design and the same parallel lineup as the base set!
- NEW! Gold Universe & High Voltage: Printed on pattern rainbow foil-board, both of these beautiful new sets feature several of the biggest names in the product. Collect at least one (1) card from each set per box, on average.
- Golden Touch: This case hit returns after a successful 2022 debut. It is a revamped version of a classic insert that features a perimeter die-cut and a best-of-the-best checklist.
- Jambalaya: These iconic cards sport a spectacular new design and the best-of-the-best athletes.
- NEW! Retro 1998-99 Metal Universe Variants: This collection of cards features the top athletes from the base set on the 1998-99 Metal Universe base set design. Each box will contain, on average, three (3) of these cards. There are also Gold (#'d to 50) and Master (#'d 1-of-1) PMG parallels to search for, both of which would be a valuable addition to any collection!
- Skybox Premium: Another classic insert consisting of the top names from the base set. There are six serially-#'d parallels, highlighted by the Star Emerald (#'d to 25), Star Amethyst (#'d to 10) and Star Diamond (#'d 1-of-1) parallels, as well as a retro design variant set #'d to 50 that sports the 1998-99 Skybox Premium Star Rubies design! There is also a rare Auto parallel of the design variant set. Each box will contain, on average, three (3) regular Skybox Premium cards.
- Z-Force: The design of this popular set, which also debuted in 2022, resembles a classic '90's Z-Force design. Each box will contain, on average, three (3) Z-Force cards. We've also added two new parallels. In addition to the returning Rave (#'d to 150) and Super Rave (#'d to 50) parallels, collectors can also now hunt for Galaxy Rave (#'d to 25) and Universe Rave (#'d 1-of-1) parallels!
