New Stature confirmed
 

Looks like Stature is coming back with 23-24 and 24-25 rookies in it.

Saw a few preview pics and looks pretty good. Also only going to have 20 rookies per class, so hopefully no Luke Philp or Dave Gust cards in this.

After all the insistence by several people on here and Reddit it was done, Stature lives on. :cool:

I'm sure even Mrs. Gust has had enough of Dave.

I would laugh if Gust, Philp and Kaiser were all in it with Chicago, and then Bedard rarely comes out.

So basically every 23-24 release?

I'm happy it's back as I love the look and thought it had pretty good cost to value ratio but what was the point not releasing it as a standalone for 23-24? Did UD realize "Engrained" wasn't a hit and Skybox E-X 2000 whatever still hasn't come on and they prob should of just released Stature, a set that was growing in popularity?

Where did you see the preview pics?

23/24/25 is going to be a STACKED class of rookies

Breaker had pics he posted, no date given. Hope this works.

I haven’t bought high-end wax in a long time but I am really excited for this product. I hope that the price per box won’t be too inflated, it should be a fun rip. Any idea on release date?

Nothing on the release date, but this will definitely be a release I prioritize too.

More info here (where I saw the announcement):

In the past Stature was like $129 /box, so on the more affordable side for a premium release. There was okay ROI on a box, usually 30+%. With the Bedard tax, I'm thinking they'll be about $799 and you'll get $15 in cards on average. YMMV :p

Very cool, thanks for posting!

Hopefully there’s no Bedard tax because that ship has sailed.

Have you seen 2024-25 Black Diamond?

I'm convinced the people who buy Black Diamond boxes eat their crayons with skim milk.

lmfao

Found this up for pre-sale, $210/box and $3250/16 box case. A bit of the Bedard tax, but not as bad as I expected honestly. Also saw in a different spot a release date of 7/9.

Checklist, don’t see it posted. Drops next week though. Pretty hype as I liked the look of that and Allure best (sue me)

PS No Gust!

Also saw Gordie Howe autos not sure how often he’s in UD now a days but that’s cool

Honestly almost no filler names on the checklists, some aren't great, but no outright misses altogether. Wish I had more left over funds, but should grab a couple boxes at least.

Yeah the hockey schedule is actually kinda brutal haha got Ultimate 24-25 scheduled for Oct 8th and Engrained Icons on the 29th, two other sets that should be pretty good

Engrained icons seems like it could be really good.

Says one auto [B]or[/B] mem card in each pack (which is 'a box'). Definitely some dilution here, on top of the higher cost.

Prior set was 8 cards and one auto guaranteed. [url]https://www.beckett.com/news/2022-23-upper-deck-stature-hockey-cards/[/url] [less filler in the new set, but less value as well]
