Upper Deck is readying a World Cup of Hockey promo set to celebrate the upcoming event with extra cardboard for collectors with hobby shops.
There will be 40 cards in the 2016 Upper Deck World Cup of Hockey set — with other extras inside the five-card packs — for the event that runs from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1.
One pack will be available as a gift as purchase via participating shops and there will be 40 different players in the set — five per team — with autographs and printing plates also in the mix.
The packs will be shipped in boxes of 50 in an effort to help hobby shops gain more traffic as the season begins.
