If you grew up on 1990s SPx, this one will feel like opening a time capsule with a few new surprises tucked inside. The shine is back, the holograms are back, and the chase runs deeper than ever with low numbering and a wide mix of inserts and autographs. Hobby boxes have eight packs with three cards per pack, and there are several numbered guarantees baked in so every rip has a real shot at something that pops.

The base checklist runs 165 cards: veterans from 1 to 100, rookies from 101 to 150, and a short stack of rookie holograms from 150 to 165. You can count on four base rookies per box, while those rookie holograms are the tougher pull at about two per case. Parallels cover the first 150 cards with a ladder that starts at silver three per box and gold one per box, then steps into serials with Resonance to 150, Radiance to 100, Grand Finale to 50, Silver Spectrum to 25, and Gold Spectrum one of one. Rookie holograms add their own color with Blue to 25, Red to 10, and Gold one of one. A selection of base rookies also get signed versions, numbered across Blue, Red to 25, Gold to 10, and Black one of one.

Autographs are not guaranteed in every box, which makes finding one feel like a real win. New signers this season arrive in Typography at 1 in 240 packs and Cold Steel Signatures at 1 in 270. Two favorites return as well: Rookie Superscripts at 1 in 120 and Superscripts at 1 in 160. Ink also spills into several insert lines through parallel versions, including Bound for Glory, Break the Mold, Finite Vets, High Efficiency, Holo’d Hardware, and SPx Force. Additional limited autos show up as Finite Rookies to 99, SPx Rookie Force to 99, Salute to 25, and All-Time Holoview to 10.

Finite is the anchor insert and it covers both veterans and rookies, all numbered to 999 with a long rainbow for color chasers. You will see Bronze to 599, Silver to 399, Gold to 299, Emerald Green to 199, Purple to 99, Amber to 49, Tuxedo to 25, Magenta to 15, Silver Spectrum to 10, Platinum Blue to 5, and Gold Spectrum one of one. Holoview F/X brings back the die-cut look with separate rookie and veteran checklists, landing roughly 1 in 7 packs for rookies and 1 in 10 for vets, plus Blue parallels to 199 for rookies and 149 for vets, and Gold to 25 for both.

There is plenty more to hunt across the case. SPx Game Film shows at about 1 in 14 packs with Blue to 99 and Gold to 25. 34.5 LBs, a debut die-cut that tips its cap to the weight of the Stanley Cup, also lands 1 in 14 with Blue to 49 and Gold to 25. Excellence Defined hits around 1 in 20 with Blue to 49 and Gold to 25, while SPx Debut Night Game Film is also 1 in 20 with Blue to 149 and Gold to 25. Deeper in the odds you will find All-Time Holoview at 1 in 40, Bound For Glory at 1 in 160, High Efficiency at 1 in 200, Break the Mold, Holo’d Hardware, and SPx Force each around 1 in 267, then two ultra-tough chases in Salute and SPx Rookie Force at 1 in 800.

A quick snapshot for planning reads like this: three cards per pack, eight packs per box, and 20 boxes per case split into two 10-box inners. Typical box content includes two Finite cards, four PETG or hologram inserts, one gold parallel, three silver parallels, four base rookies, and one additional numbered insert or parallel. Release timing is still to be announced, and the final checklist will follow close to launch, but the shape is clear. SPx leans on its holographic heritage, adds thoughtful low-numbered paths for player collectors, and keeps enough big hits in circulation to make every pack feel like it could be the one.
