In the long history of hockey card collecting, there are some sets that you recognize immediately as must-haves, and Upper Deck’s new DC Superman Crossover Set is just that. The set features some of the most inspiring designs of NHL stars in quite some time. This is the third release in the crossover series featuring DC and NHL standouts, and it’s available now exclusively on Upper Deck e-Pack®.
Upper Deck Continues to Push The Boundaries of Creativity Even Higher
As a trading card licensee of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the NHL, and the NHLPA, this set continues Upper Deck’s commitment to creating unique collecting experiences that bridge the sports and entertainment worlds.
Inspired by the Fortress of Solitude as seen in “Superman,” this trading card set highlights game action imagery of six global NHL superstars in Superman’s secret sanctuary. Featuring the Fortress’ bright sheen and textured appearance, the set features images of Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Leon Draisaitl, Filip Forsberg, Auston Matthews, and David Pastrnak. Collectors who complete the full six-card set will receive an exclusive Connor McDavid achievement card.

“This Fortress of Solitude set showcases the creative and innovative ways that you can blend the worlds of sports and entertainment collectibles,” said Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck. “Delivering unique collecting experiences built around beloved characters and world-class athletes is at the core of who we are at Upper Deck, and we’re excited to introduce new products across both of these major licenses and beyond in the years ahead.”
Fortress of Solitude NHL Cards Already a Hit with Collectors
The DC x NHL Fortress of Solitude Crossover Set is available now exclusively on the Upper Deck e-Pack® platform ($19.99 per pack, one card per pack). Each pack will contain one of six physical Base set cards; keep an eye out for rare parallels like Silver (#’d to 100), Gold (#’d to 50) and Blue (#’d to 10) that will fall as a bonus 2nd card in select packs! Collect and complete sets to redeem for the Base Set, Silver Parallel, Gold Parallel and Blue Parallel. The cards will be offered digitally, then printed and available for shipping at a later date.
Some collectors have already posted the cards on sites such as eBay, with Draisaitl and Crosby listed well above retail. This is a good sign for this limited-time collection that it’ll not only hold its value but could very well go even higher.
A Great Way To Add More Star Power to Your Collection
By featuring cards of top NHL stars such as Ovechkin, Crosby, Draisaitl, Forsberg, Matthews, Pastrnak and the special McDavid achievement card, collectors have an instant opportunity to add some instant star power to their collections. The cards are bright, bold and would look great in individual cases or as a set hanging on the wall. Whichever way you choose to collect and display them, it’s an investment well worth showcasing.
