Upper Deck changed its configuration for SPx with its 2024-25 SPx set. Once upon a time, a box of SPx had more than just a handful of cards. Back in 2015-16, a box of SPx hockey cards had 10 packs, each with four cards, for a total of 40 cards. The next season, SPx downsized the number of cards you got in a box significantly, lowering the quantity while raising the quality. Here’s how many cards SPx had over the past seven seasons:
-

- 2016-17 SPx – four cards per box
- 2017-18 SPx – four cards per box
- 2018-19 SPx – four cards per box
- 2019-20 SPx – four cards per box
- 2021-22 SPx – four cards per box
- 2022-23 SPx – five cards per box
- 2023-24 SPx – five cards per box
As you can see, you didn’t get a lot of cards for your money, but all of the cards were some sort of “hit” – be it an autograph, a jersey card, a low-numbered insert, or the like.
