The Boston Bruins, one of the most renowned teams in sports, is hitting a major milestone this year – their 100th anniversary. To commemorate this extraordinary achievement, Upper Deck has released a special limited edition box set that will surely delight both Bruins fans and sports card collectors alike. Scheduled to hit the shelves on Wednesday, December 6, the Upper Deck Boston Bruins Centennial Box Set is a true collector’s dream.
The heart of this box set is a comprehensive base set of 100 cards, showcasing a mix of the Bruins’ legendary players and the current stars that grace the ice. From Bobby Orr to Ray Bourque, this collection pays homage to the real heroes of the game. But what makes this set truly exciting is the offering of five different types of inserts, along with the possibility of finding randomly packed autographs.
Each base card is available in two parallel versions – yellow and gold spectrum. Collectors will be thrilled to find that a standard box typically contains three yellow parallels and one gold spectrum variant, along with one insert card. The insert set, aptly named “Beantown Classics,” features 20 cards that pay tribute to some of the greatest Bruins players from various eras. Whether you’re a longtime fan who cherishes the memories of legends like Bobby Orr or a newer fan who idolizes current stars like Patrice Bergeron, this set offers a perfect blend of history and present-day excitement.
But the real treasure lies in the autographs. Fifty current and former Bruins players have signed cards specifically for this set. Imagine the thrill of opening a pack and discovering an autograph from your favorite player. However, finding one of these signed cards will be no easy feat, as they are included in only one out of every ten sets. And the rarest of them all will be the signatures from hockey legends like Bobby Orr, Rogie Vachon, Ray Bourque, Cam Neely, and Paul Coffey. These autographs will truly be a collector’s Holy Grail.
With a price tag of around $50 per set, this centennial box set from Upper Deck offers Bruins fans and sports card collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of hockey history. The meticulous attention to detail, from the selection of players to the quality of cardstock, ensures that this set will be cherished for years to come.
