McDavid bonus card available to collectors building e-Pack foil set
By Stephen Laroche | Beckett Hockey Editor
A week after the release of Upper Deck’s e-Pack website, collectors are starting to see the potential bonuses of upgrading their base cards and Young Guns to an exclusive foil parallel version.
Those that not only build a complete foil board set of 2015-16 Upper Deck Series One Hockey, but also the soon-to-be-released 2015-16 Upper Deck Series Two Hockey will receive a bonus Connor McDavid silver foil facsimile autograph card.
Those wishing to put together a full set of foil board cards to get the McDavid exclusive will need to have an e-Pack account and exchange 10 copies of the regular version for cards 1-200 and 251-450. Additionally, five copies of each Young Guns card (201-250 and 451-500) will have to be merged together for the foil version. Collectors should note that the foil cards will need to remain in their e-Pack accounts by 11:59 p.m. (PST) on August 31, 2016 in order to receive the physical McDavid exclusive card.
Additionally, those making multiple sets will receive one McDavid facsimile signature card for each one fully assembled. While a large and full image of the exclusive card has yet to be made available to collectors, there was a smaller version that appeared on the e-Pack website’s news section.
