question aboot 21/22 ud exclusives

[icefields]

hi i saw a 21/22 upper deck exclusives clear cut card.
its not numbered so am i safe to believe it is from a separate set than the regular upper deck offering.
also assuming it is an SP of some sort?
any help would be appreciated
and thank you in advance fellow members

3rd year for these, unannounced "easter egg" part of series one this year print run is unknown, anyone who tells you they no the print run "for sure" is guessing. my educated bet would be /5 or less

[cjb]

can you post a picture of it?

They are super rare and hard to find. I believe that the /5 figure (give or take) is pretty accurate. Generally you'll see maybe 1-2 ever hit the open market. I got a hold of a Shea Weber from 2020-21 UD, they look cool:



I saw someone had a Caufield from 21-22 on eBay not too long ago. Whether it actually sold for the listed price OBO, or was pulled for an offline transaction, is anyone's best guess.

It's the proverbial double-edged sword. Gives people a nice surprise on release day when opening their wax, but also for certain other Easter Eggs out there you've got little way of knowing if you've just hit a regular card or a SSSP parallel (looking at you, OPC, with your "Close Up" and "Post Game" variants).

Im ok with out announced inserts, I just wish they would make the print run known.

I'm with you. I have never liked the idea of "Easter Eggs". Tell me what I might pull - specifically so I know what to look for.

These ones are pretty obvious, but I wonder how many SSSP parallels have ended up in binders as part of a set, or put into a box with bulk base over the years. Rare cards that collectors are looking for, and the owners don't even know they have them - because they didn't know to be looking for them.
