2025–26 Upper Deck CHL Game Used Checklist: Base Cards, Autos and Patches

The card number is only the starting point in 2025–26 Upper Deck CHL Game Used. Beckham Edwards appears as Base Set #1, but #1 also appears under Orange Foilboard, Blue Auto, Red Jersey, Gold Patch and Auto Patch labels. Those are different collecting targets. Upper Deck's official checklist gives each entry a set name, player, team and, where applicable, stated odds or numbering. Keep that full label beside the number when building a want list or comparing cards for sale.

The checklist also separates the regular base cards from New Grooves, which begins at #71 in the listed run. That split makes a useful choice: build the full numbered set, follow one CHL club, or pursue a particular player's autograph or memorabilia version. The set name tells you which project a card belongs to; the product name alone does not tell you what feature is on an individual card.

Start with the base number and listed team

The regular Base Set entries shown run from Beckham Edwards #1 for the Sarnia Sting through Chase Harrington #70 for the Spokane Chiefs. Upper Deck says “Two Base Cards per Pack” beside those rows. That describes the base group in a pack, not the odds of pulling a particular player. A collector who wants Edwards #1 or Caleb Desnoyers #8 for the Moncton Wildcats can use the exact number and team to find the right card without treating the pack statement as a player-specific promise.

Base Set - New Grooves starts with Egor Shilov #71 for the Victoriaville Tigres and reaches Ethan Belchetz #100 for the Windsor Spitfires. Its listed rows carry 1:1 h, 1:1 e. Those are the checklist's hobby and e-Pack frequency labels for the group, not serial numbering on each card. The difference matters when a listing says only “base”: a regular #1 and a New Grooves #71 sit in distinct checklist groups.

Vanhanen is a good reason to write down more than a name: Upper Deck lists him at #67 in the regular Base Set and #72 in New Grooves, both with Everett. A Vanhanen collection could include both base entries before any parallel chase begins. For a team set, sort by the team printed in the manufacturer's checklist, then check the set label and number for each card.

Compare parallels by name and numbering

The Orange Foilboard rows repeat base numbers under a new set name. Beckham Edwards #1 is listed /199 as an Orange Foilboard Parallel; Egor Shilov #71 is listed /99 as an Orange Foilboard Parallel - New Grooves. The matching color does not mean matching numbering across the two groups. If the aim is a Shilov foilboard, the New Grooves suffix is part of the card's identity, not a decorative detail in a seller title.

Jersey Number Parallel is another distinct version of the regular base cards. The checklist shows Edwards #1 with 81 in its numbered column and Kooper Gizowski #2 with 11. Here the stated limit varies with the player; “Jersey Number” is not one shared print limit for the whole group. Check the exact player's row rather than applying one card's figure to another. The official parallel rows place these numbered cards among random inserts in hobby and e-Pack.

For signatures, Blue Auto Parallel #1 Edwards and #2 Gizowski are both marked “Auto” with 1:3 h, 1:3 e beside their displayed rows. That is a group frequency, not 1:3 odds for Edwards alone. Printing Plate Auto Parallel #1 Edwards is a separate entry marked “Auto” and “Plate,” with 4 in the numbered column. A collector choosing between those two autograph types should compare the full set name, the actual card and any numbering before comparing asking prices. The checklist identifies an autograph category; it does not describe signature placement or condition for an individual copy.

Decide which memorabilia version fits the collection

The checklist gives jersey and patch collectors several different targets. Red Jersey Parallel #1 Edwards is marked “Jsy” with 1:1 h, 1:1 e in its row. Red Jersey Parallel - New Grooves #100 Belchetz is also marked “Jsy,” but carries /149. They share a material category while belonging to different numbered groups and using different stated checklist information. A red jersey card is therefore a more precise search than a generic “CHL Game Used relic.”

The shown Gold Patch Parallel rows list Edwards #1 /49 and Belchetz #100 under Gold Patch Parallel - New Grooves /25. Auto Patch Parallel #1 Edwards is marked both “Auto” and “Patch” and listed /49. For an Edwards collector, the red jersey, gold patch and auto patch offer three materially different versions of the same #1 base subject. The patch and autograph labels explain why one version may be more appealing to a collection, but the checklist's limit alone cannot establish a fair asking price.

There is also a separately coded Supreme Patches group. Upper Deck lists Ryan Roobroeck as SP-RR for the Niagara IceDogs, Tij Iginla as SP-TI for the Kelowna Rockets and Terik Parascak as SP-TP for the Prince George Cougars; each of those shown rows is marked “Patch” and /15. A player collector should search by the SP code as well as the name, since these cards do not use the plain #1–100 base numbering. Use the wording on the card itself for the origin of any particular piece of material; the checklist rows identify the card type but do not supply that detail.

Make the want list specific

For each target, record the year, CHL Game Used product, full set name, card number or SP code, player and listed team. Add the stated limit when the row has one. That turns “Matias Vanhanen card” into a choice between Base Set #67, Base Set - New Grooves #72 and any applicable versions of those entries. It also keeps an Orange Foilboard /199 from being compared with a New Grooves Orange Foilboard /99 as though they were the same card.

For a single player or club, the full Upper Deck checklist is the reference for the remaining rows. Use its odds to understand the named card groups in the stated formats, then judge an individual card by its exact version, visible condition and asking price. A low numbered patch may be the card you most want to own; that preference and the price you should pay for it are separate decisions.
