In honor of 2025-26 SkyBox Metal Universe releasing this Wednesday, finally after 2 years I completed one of my favorite sets, the inaugural 2022-23 SkyBox 2013 Retros!
Over 2 years ago, u/ZebraCakeKing posted this Bobrovsky card to the subreddit, and I have been chasing down these case hits (1:240) ever since.
Finally this week I added the last two cards to my collection, which were Kaprizov and Pastrnak that I just decided to overpay for since I have been so close to completing the set for a while.
I wish Upper Deck made more of these style of cards, sort of like the "Manga" inserts that Panini and Topps make for basketball and baseball. Another similar set that comes to mind is Fanimation, although I think Upper Deck stopped making these (and I think they are slightly less cool).
I'm excited these are coming back for a 4th straight year in the 2025-26 SkyBox release. Since there has not been a single Shark in the checklists for 22-23, 23-24, or 24-25, my personal top chase as a Sharks fan is Celebrini, although I can see that card being more expensive than even what I paid for McDavid or Crosby shown here.
Thanks for reading and happy collecting!
