The 2024-25 Credentials hockey card set was released in mid-July 2025, a good month after the ’24-25 season ended. A hobby box of 2024-25 Credentials has eight packs, with each pack containing six cards, for a total of 48 cards. When the set originally debuted, it was around $125 per box. The price dropped by the end of 2025 to about $110 per box, but as of this writing has climbed back up to about $120 per box.
Anyway, I recently opened a hobby box of 2024-25 Credentials Hockey. Let’s see what was inside.
Sal, Tim, and Clemente give their review of the 2024-25 PWHL hockey card set. Plus, a discussion about the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2025 inductees, the recent statement by the President of Upper Deck, and Alex Ovechkin reaching 900 goals. It’s 120 minutes of hockey goodness – with chapters, so you can skip to your favorite parts. The YouTube version of the podcast features photos and video.

Released at the end of the season, the 2024-25 Parkhurst Champions set gives retro flair to modern players. The cards are designed to look like they could be from the 1950s, with cut-out players superimposed over a bright, solid-colored background.
A box of 2024-25 Parkhurst Champions is currently selling for around $130 for a 20-pack box, plus one bonus “Retro” pack.
Each of the 20 packs have eight cards. Packs have six base cards plus two other cards which are either a short print, a parallel, or an insert. A box contains one autograph, memorabilia, or lenticular (“magic motion”) card.
The “Bonus Pack” has five “1953-54 Retro Cards,” which use the 1953-54 Parkhurst design. It is possible to get an autograph or parallel “Retro” card in this pack.
I recently opened a box of 2024-25 Parkhurst Champions Hockey. Let’s take a closer look at what you get in a typical box.

Sal Barry and Tim Parish talk all about the new 2024-25 Parkhurst Champions Hockey Card set. Yes, the design looks great – but is it a set worth building? And what’s the deal with the bonus “Retro Pack?” Plus, discussions about Team USA winning the Hlinka Gretzky Tournament, eBay’s changes to its platform, and the NHL Network’s “Quarter Century Team” – and who they snubbed. It’s 107 minutes of hockey goodness, now with chapters so you can skip to your favorite part. The YouTube version of this episode features video and pictures, too.
