CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS
A DIVERSE & SERIALLY-NUMBERED BASE SET
2023-24 Premier sports a 150-card base set consisting of star and superstar veterans numbered to 299, legends numbered to 99 and rookies numbered to 399.
A PARALLEL LINEUP FULL OF CHASE CARDS
There are eight parallels of the complete base set - which includes three hard-signed autograph parallels (Auto, Gold Auto and the 1-of-1 Platinum Auto), two memorabilia parallels (Jersey, Premium Memorabilia/Patch) and the all-new Ruby parallel - as well as parallels of just the vets and rookies (Fight Strap, Neckline and Hockey Lace), and rookies-only (Bronze, Purple and the all-new Rose Gold).
AUTO PATCH CARD DEPTH
The latest edition is loaded with auto patch inserts, including the perennially-coveted Acetate RAP’s! All auto patch cards are serially-numbered (all #’d to 249 or less) and every box will contain, on average, one of these cards! Here is a rundown of the auto patch inserts:
o Acetate RAP: This popular set contains top members of the exceptional 2023-24 rookie class! Each card is numbered to 249 or 99, and there are Gold (#’d to 65/35) and Platinum (#’d 1-of-1) parallels.
o Horizontal Acetate RAP: Since their debut in 2019-20, the horizontal versions, which feature only the best-of-the-best from the rookie class, have been very popular. These tougher-to-find cards are numbered to just 99 or 49, and like the vertical versions, there are Gold (#’d to 25/15) and 1-of-1 Platinum versions.
o Acetate Veteran Auto Patch: For those looking for acetate auto patch cards featuring star and superstar veterans! There are three levels (#’d to 49/35/15) and a Gold parallel of each numbered to 10/5/3.
o 2003-04 Rookie Auto Patch: More acetate rookie auto patch cards! Collect the best-of-the-best rookies on the classic 2003-04 Premier Collection RAP design. Each card is numbered to 99 or 49. The highly sought-after Gold parallels are numbered to 5 or 1!
o Premier Focus: With a fantastic new design and a checklist featuring top rookies and star & superstar veterans, the second season of this insert set will remain a hit with collectors. The rookie versions are numbered to 175/99/50, and the veteran versions #’d to 99/49/25/10. There are low-numbered Gold parallels of both subsets, as well as an auto-only set numbered to 99/49/25/10 (with a Gold parallel #’d to just 15) that features star veterans and legends.
o Flourishing Talent (New!): This brand new, three-level acetate auto patch set is full of top young stars in the game today, and stars-in-the-making from the rookie class. Levels 1, 2 and 3 are numbered to 99, 50 and 25, respectively.
There are also auto patch parallels of other insert sets, some of which are noted below.
MORE NEW SETS!
In addition to the new content noted above, here is a look at the other great additions you can hunt for in the 2023-24 edition:
o On the Forefront: There are On the Forefront Jersey (star vets and top rookies) and On the Forefront Auto (star & superstar vets with a few absolute legends of the game sprinkled in) versions of this numbered set. Additionally, collectors can chase after low-numbered Black and Gold parallels of both - with the parallels of the jersey set seeing the jersey swatch replaced by a patch swatch. The 1-of-1 Gold parallels of the Auto versions will be a stellar addition to any collection.
o Global Notability Jersey & Auto Jersey: Featuring players (past & present) hailing from a variety of countries, this set pays homage to the fact that NHL rosters have long been an aggregation of the world’s best players. At the start of the 2023-24 season, the best players from 18 different countries were represented across the 32 rosters. Keep an eye out for Black (#’d to 25) and Gold (#’d 1-of-1) patch and auto patch parallels!
MORE NEW SETS! (Cont.)
o Exemplary Stamps: Anyone that pulls one of these numbered horizontal acetate cards will be adding a rare gem to their collection! Including its 1-of-1 Gold parallel, there will be a maximum of 220 of these cards.
o Premier Precipice Auto: More hard-signed auto cards featuring top rookies, veteran stars & superstars, and legends. Look for Gold parallels numbered to 10.
o 2023 Premier Rookie Auto Jersey: Each rookie card, numbered to 99 or 25, boasts an autograph alongside four jersey swatches. Collectors can also search for Auto Patch (#’d to 15) and 1-of-1 Auto Tag Patch parallels!
LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST - PREMIER’S MEMORABILIA-FOCUSED STAPLES
Premier is well-known for its multi-memorabilia and extra-large premium memorabilia cards and the 2023-24 edition is no exception! The multi-memorabilia offerings include the popular Premier Gear Jersey, Patch and Tag/Button sets, the Premier Dual, Triple and Quad Jersey sets, and the Premier Dual, Triple and Quad Patch sets - all of which are low-numbered and feature star veterans and top rookies. The extra-large premium memorabilia offering includes the low-numbered Premier Mega Patch (Chest Logo, Sleeve Number, Shoulder Logo and Commemorative Logo) sets featuring star veterans, and the low-numbered rookie equivalent: Rookie Patch-Taculars (Chest Logo, Shoulder Logo and Logo Patch). And of course, there are sets that feature multiple extra-large premium memorabilia swatches - the star veteran Premier Mega Patch Duos, Trios and Quads, and the Dual Rookie Patch-Taculars (Chest Logos, Shoulder Logos and Logo Patch)!
