2024 Skybox Metal Universe Champions Insert Details
That's just the start for 2024 Skybox Metal Universe Champions, which offers classic Skybox designs and new entries that attempt to capture the same cardboard magic as the '90s favorites.
Among the debuts, New Discoveries (1:13 packs) showcases future talent with an eye-catching, interstellar background.
Likely familiar to Metal NBA collectors of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Scoring Magnets (1:9 packs) is another common pull.
2024 Skybox Metal Universe Champions adds new SP chases, as well, such as Power Conductors (1:180 packs), supplying a circuit-styled background.
Quasars (1:450 packs) boasts a "stunning laser die-cut of stars within a galactic design."
While the Metal-X line has appeared in other products, the insert arrives for the first time in Metal Universe Champions with PETG stock and a "shimmering metallic appearance." Averaging 1:720 packs, these are very tough pulls.
2024 Skybox Metal Universe Champions continues with many well-known brands of the past. E-X (1:15 packs) has Essential Credentials Then and Now versions, while Z-Force (1:5 packs) works in four Rave parallels serial-numbered to 150 or less.
Skybox Premium (1:5 packs) returns with several Star options, such as Star Rubies (/100), Star Amethyst (/10) and others. The 1998-99 Retro Star Rubies cards have only 50 copies.
Matching the base parallel selection, Fresh Foundation (1:2 packs) is back to cover future stars.
Year two for the super short print, Gravitational Pull (1:2,100) achieves a mesmerizing effect by pulling down on the internal card.
A hobby heavyweight, fans can also find another year of Jambalaya (1:540 packs).
