2025 Upper Deck AEW Details
2025 Upper Deck AEW represents the year’s flagship card set for All Elite Wrestling. Familiar faces are joined by some new ones on a checklist that has a deep mix of base cards, hits and inserts.
At the hobby level, boxes promise either an autograph, memorabilia card or other premium insert. Multiple other inserts or parallels can also be expected in every pack.
2025 Upper Deck AEW Checklist Overview
Similar to past years, the base set has 100 cards. The first 60 are standard wrestler cards. They’re followed by 10 “First UD” cards for some big names like Kazuchika Okada and Mercedes Moné who have recently joined the promotion. They may have had previous cards in time-specific e-Pack releases but these are their first AEW flagship cards. Rounding out the checklist are Tag Teams and Trios (#71-90) and Crew (#91-100).
Parallels include:
- Gold – 1:2 packs
- Pyro – 1:4 packs
- Dyanamite Plate – 1:4 blaster packs
- Outburst – 1:12 packs
- Clear Cut
- Dynamite – /249
- Exclusives – /100
- Pink Pyro – /79 (blasters only)
- Gold Pyro – /35
- Outburst Red – /25
- High Gloss – /10
- Outburst Gold – 1/1
Select base cards also have autographs and memorabilia versions that have their own assortment of parallels.
There are also rare Photo Variants that are 1:432 hobby packs.
Additional Autographs and Inserts
AEW Autographs offer more ink. These are signed on-card. Ring Masters Autographs (1:3,000 hobby packs) are also on the checklist.
No matter the sport, flagship releases typically have large checklists with several levels of inserts. 2025 Upper Deck AEW is no different.
UD Canvas returns with different stock and a focus on photography. Standard cards are 1:4 packs while short prints are 1:30.
A few other insert sets return. Dazzlers Blue (1:5 hobby packs) are notable for their bright colors. Green versions are also in hobby packs while Orange are exclusive to retail blasters.
UD Portraits (1:4 packs) and Total Access (1:7 packs) are also back. Both have Blue (/25), Green (/10) and Gold (1/1) parallels.
Collectors can go for a deck with Double or Nothing Playing Cards, which combine to fall 1:3 hobby packs. Gold versions are numbered to 52.
New insert themes include Foundational Outlook (1:5 packs), Neon Monikers (1:7 packs), Here from the Start (1:10 packs) and Backstage Chatter (1:10 packs). Blue (/25), Green (/10) and Gold (1/1) parallels are also available.
Finish It is a new case hit. These are lenticular cards that flip between finishing moves from a pair of wrestlers.
Day with the Belt (1:720 packs) and AEW Retouched (1:1,440 packs) represent some of the rarest cards on the 2025 Upper Deck AEW checklist.
