2021 Upper Deck Spectrum AEW marks the card maker’s second set of wrestling cards. Following a flagship-style debut, Spectrum is opting for something more on the premium side. That means fewer cards per box but a much higher concentration of autographs and memorabilia cards.


Hobby boxes, which come with just one seven-card pack, have at least one autograph and one memorabilia card. However, there’s a third card that’s either a premium insert or another relic.


2021 Upper Deck Spectrum AEW Checklist Overview


The Spectrum base set consists of 90 cards. It covers the AEW roster. This includes some more recent debuts like CM Punk and Bryan Danielson who aren’t in the main 2021 Upper Deck AEW set.






Parallels land one per box and come in five basic levels:

• Dark – /99
• Red – /50
• Green – /25
• Beach – /10
• Gold – 1/1
  

On top of these, select cards also have a variety of hits-based parallels. Base Autographs are 1:2 or 1:12, depending on the wrestler. These have Dark (/25), Beach (/5), Gold (1/1) and Printing Plate (1/1) parallels.








Memorabilia parallels are one per pack. Dark (/25) and Gold (1/1) versions are also available here.


Finally, there are tough Auto Memorabilia parallels (/20) with their own Dark (/10) and Gold (1/1) spins.






Additional Autographs, Memorabilia Cards and Inserts


It’s not just parallels when it comes to signatures and relics. The checklist has several insert themes as well.


On the Mat Relics (1:5 packs) are highlighted by a piece of match-used canvas. Autograph versions have 25 copies each.







Also drawing from the squared circle are Ring Generals Relics (/50). Each of these has three different pieces of memorabilia: a piece of canvas, turnbuckle and ring apron. Some cards also have autograph versions that are numbered to 16.






Table for 2 (1:9) and Table for 4 Relics (1:36) have a piece of event-used table. Each of these highlights opponents and rivals. Table for 2 Relic Autographs have just 12 copies each.







Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal Relics (/25) and their corresponding autographs (/12) don’t have pieces of a ring or clothing. Instead, each of these have a diamond embedded in them. The checklist is limited to 2020 Diamond Battle Royale participants.







Spectrum has a couple of insert sets done on metal instead of more traditional card stock, Chair Shots (1:8 packs) and AEW Full Gear (1:4).
