Mr. Roy G. Biv has a home in 2011-22 Upper Deck Allure Hockey. As one would expect, the chrome-based release has a traditional parallel rainbow for much of its checklist. However, in one part of the set, there’s also an actual ROYGBIV rainbow blend spanning several cards that travels from red all the way through to violet.


Hobby boxes have an eclectic mix of cards including one autograph, at least four inserts and an average of one parallel per pack.

Rainbow inserts are home to the ROYGBIV influence. Each of these cards transitions between two colors. Collectors who land the five different cards of a player and put them together side-by-side will see the full rainbow spectrum. Red-Orange are the most common at 1:4 hobby packs.
