In 2011-12 NHL Upper Deck Series One, we treated puck fans to a surprise insert set that collectors really went crazy over with some fantastic photography showing members of the Boston Bruins enjoying their “Day with the Cup.” UD partnered with Phil Pritchard, the Vice President Curator of the Hockey Hall-of-Fame to get images of the players with the Cup and document how they spent their day for this unique insert series.
The set returns for 2011-12 NHL Upper Deck Series Two with eleven new subjects doing everything from biking with the Stanley Cup to riding with it on horseback. Cards will have unique photography on the front and back along with information about how the athlete spent their “Day with the Cup.” The odds of pulling these cards remain difficult with them appearing 1:1000 hobby packs, 1:2500 retail packs and 1:5000 blaster packs.
Take a look at cards DC15-DC25 in the set:

Up til yesterday knew nothing of this insert set. Was checking eBay for series 2 cards and saw some of these “day with the cup” cards. Realized I had the Lucic from a hobby box I bought the day after they came out. In my rush thru the packs looking for the young guns just glossed over this insert. Saw it and just thought it was his regular card. Nice surprise to go back thru the “commons” and pull it out. I look forward every fall/spring to Upper Deck’s new products. Great company and have been happy to collect their products since 1990.
