The Cadillac of hockey cards returns with the summer release of 2010-11 The Cup Hockey from Upper Deck. Featuring two autographed patch cards in every single-pack box, this ultra high-end set isn't for the weak of heart. As in past years, the draw is the extremely limited and unique content, all of which is very high quality. Don't expect to find a lot of single-swatch cards with plain jerseys. Instead, the set is loaded with patches and swatches from small jersey spots like fight straps and laundry tags. The Cup is scheduled for a mid-August release.
