2023-24 SkyBox Metal Universe Hockey Overview -
Heading into space is nothing new for Metal Universe. In fact, it’s one of the hallmarks as to why the sets from the ’90s are so well remembered. This set goes in a bit of a different direction. Rather than planets, the backdrop in most fantastical frontiers that one might find in a sci-fi novel or Blade Runner movie.
Precious Metal Gems make up the main part of the parallels. Colors include:
- Red – /100
- Green – /10
- Gold – 1/1
Select cards have autographs, which can be found in four levels:
- Silver – 1:120 hobby packs, Stars 1:600 hobby packs, Rookies /399 or /199
- Blue – /50 (Rookies only)
- Green – /10
- Gold – 1/1
Metal Rarities
When it comes to inserts, the 2023-24 SkyBox Metal Universe checklist has some of the most variety you’ll find in a hockey card set this season.
Several of these have roots in Skybox’s past, although Upper Deck continues with its trend of updating many of the designs. The result is still out-there but tickles the nostalgia in a slightly different way.
Among the big guns is Jambalaya. These continue to use a die-cut shape and carry ridiculously long odds (1:960 hobby packs). However, the look is new with a colorful, pixelated background.
