2025-26 Upper Deck Clear Cut Hockey is a premium single-card format product built entirely around autographs, releasing August 19, 2026. The checklist spans current stars, all-time greats, and a strong rookie class headlined by Connor Bedard, Cutter Gauthier, and Lane Hutson.
The Checklist
Clear Cut's base set is built entirely on autographs, covering rookies, active stars, and legends on acetate stock. Notable rookies include Connor Bedard, Cutter Gauthier, and Lane Hutson alongside veterans like Connor McDavid and Alex Ovechkin and greats like Gordie Howe.

Why Collectors Care
Clear Cut is one of the few hockey products where every box guarantees an on-card autograph, and the 2025-26 checklist is unusually deep at the top — Bedard in his second year, McDavid, Ovechkin, and Howe on the same base checklist is not a common combination. The 1/1 Gold Outburst parallel on any of those names is the kind of pull that moves markets the day it surfaces.
What To Watch After Launch
Watch the first-week case break results closely — the Bedard and McDavid Gold Outburst 1/1s will set the ceiling for this product the moment they hit eBay. Secondary prices on the Outburst /25 parallels will tell you quickly whether the base auto checklist is deep enough to sustain box value.
