Upper Deck cards UK
Hockey, basketball and multi-sport — the brand that raised card quality
Upper Deck changed the hobby in 1989 by introducing hologram security and photo quality that the rest of the market had to match. It holds the NHL licence and remains the strongest name in hockey cards, alongside long-running multi-sport and entertainment releases.
We stock Upper Deck hockey, basketball and multi-sport cards. Hockey has a smaller UK collector base than football, which often means better prices here than on the North American market — worth knowing if you collect it.

Buying Upper Deck: what to look for
Young Guns is the value line
In hockey, the Young Guns rookie subset carries most of the market. Base cards of the same player from the same set are worth a fraction of it.
Check for the hologram
Upper Deck's anti-counterfeit hologram is part of why the brand exists. On vintage cards, its presence and condition are part of the grade.
UK prices can favour the buyer
Hockey is a smaller UK category, so cards sometimes list here below their North American comps. Always check eBay sold prices in both markets.
