When Fleer/SkyBox released Metal Universe to the hockey card industry in 1996, the cards were unlike anything collectors had seen.
Now, six years into a reboot by Upper Deck, 2025-26 SkyBox Metal Universe Hockey still has a unique look when compared to other cards from the company.
Collectors ripping into a hobby box should expect to find an autograph or Precious Metal Gems (PMG) parallel, a rookie card in every pack, and many other inserts.
The base set runs 150 cards, split between 100 veterans and 50 rookie cards, which are inserted once per pack.
There are four levels of numbered PMG parallels, which cover all 150 cards, starting with the traditional Red (/100), Green (/10), and Gold (1/1) PMGs.
Blue PMGs are numbered to /50 and are found only in Hot Boxes, which contain one Blue PMG in all 15 packs.
Select base cards also have Autograph parallels, falling at 1:80 packs for veterans and 1:60 for rookies. Parallels are Green (/10) and Gold (1/1).
Additional autographs can be found from the following sets:
Inserts play a significant role in Metal Universe, and this year’s product delivers plenty of returning favorites and first-year concepts.
Tying back into the product’s nostalgia are 2013 Metal Universe Retros, which feature custom art and more PMGs. But, these are tough finds at 1:240 packs or once per case.
The Red and Green PMGs combine for a production run of 100, with the first 10 of the print run in Green and the final 90 in Red. Additional PMGs are Blue (/50) and Gold (1/1).
Another insert that harkens back to another era is SkyBox Premium Prospects. Collectors find these once in five packs, and the search will be on for parallels: Star Rubies (/50), Star Emeralds (/10) and Star Diamonds (1/1).
Four easy-to-find inserts have three levels of parallels in Purple (/349), Red (/99) and Gold (/10).
Circle Button (1:15) and Lethal Weapon (1:15) both have Red (/100) and Green (/10) parallels, while Outer Limits (1:7.5) has a Gold (/99) parallel.
The next tier includes Planet Metal (1:60), Magnetic Field (1:80), Rave Review (1:80), and Copperheads (1:120).
Four other inserts have odds at one per case or longer, including Dark Matter (1:240), A Cut Above (1:267) and Brush Off (1:267).
The toughest finds are the die-cut Platinum Portraits cards, which are seeded at 1:1,200.
Cards per pack: Hobby – 6; Blaster – 6

The fine print: Please read the entire listing before purchasing. All cards shipped via USPS. Hits will be in top-loaders, rookies will at minimum be sleeved, all other cards will ship in a team bag. Per eBay rules, there are no refunds once the live break starts. Our shipping week goes Friday through Thursday, we process everything Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and USPS picks up next business day. We do combine shipping all week to help you save money! If you are unable to view the live break, the video will be uploaded on YouTube shortly after completion. If a card is pulled that has multiple players on it, whoever has 51% ownership of the teams will win the card. If nobody has 51% of the teams associated with the card, we will use random.org at the end of the break to determine the winner. This listing is not for a specific pack, box or case of cards or memorabilia. There is No Guarantee we will pull a specific card or player, just something from the team you purchase. Pictures in this listing may include images that represent cards or other items which may be available overall in the live break, but do not offer, promise, guarantee or otherwise imply the specific card(s) or other item(s) will be pulled in this break or any future breaks. You are hereby bidding on the opportunity to watch our YouTube Live break. If there is a card pulled that does not have an auction spot, we will use random.org to randomize the card to all auction spots for this break. If a retired player is pulled, we will award it to the team on the card. If no team is on the card, it will be the jersey they are wearing in the picture, then the team they spent time with the longest (if it comes to that). Please, no e-checks, as other buyers will not want to wait for your payment to clear before we can start the break. If a buyer fails to pay on time, their team(s) will be offered up to the group before the start of the break. In the event of a power loss and/or loss of internet service, the show will be put on pause and communication will go out to each winner about when the show picks back up. Refunds are not issued in this case. Bakersfield Hobby cannot assure the claims made by the product companies on their hit guarantees. For instance: If a specific brand claims that there are two autographs/box and we only pull one, this is not grounds for a refund from Bakersfield Hobby. Buyers understand that Bakersfield Hobby cannot control this, and will ship the cards we open on camera. Nothing more, nothing less. Most of all, have a great time with the breaks, and good luck!!
