2023 Upper Deck Skybox Metal Universe Champions

• 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.

BASE AND PARALLELS

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 serially-#’d Precious Metal Gems (PMG) parallels: Red, Blue, Green and Gold (#’d 1-of-1). Additionally, there are three all-new & serially-#’d Light FX parallels: Bronze FX, Pink FX and Orange FX!

INSERTS

The 2023 edition sports a wide variety of intriguing inserts, including several new additions:

• 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.
• 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!
• Gold Universe & High Voltage – Printed on pattern rainbow foilboard, both of these beautiful new sets feature several of the biggest names in the product.

MORE INSERTS

• 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 (low-#’d), Star Amethyst (low-#’d) and Star Diamond (#’d 1-of-1) parallels, as well as a low-#’d retro design variant set that sports the 1998-99 Skybox Premium Star Rubies design! There is also a rare Auto parallel of the design variant set.
• Z-Force – The design of this popular set resembles a classic ’90’s Z-Force design. We’ve also added two new parallels. In addition to the returning Rave (#’d) and Super Rave (low- #’d) parallels, collectors can also now hunt for Galaxy Rave (low-#’d) and Universe Rave (#’d 1-of-1) parallels!
• 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 design. Each box will contain, on average, three (3) of these cards. There are also low-#’d Gold and 1-of-1 Master PMG parallels to search for, both of which would be a valuable addition to any collection!
• 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.
