Q: Where can I look up the official card checklist number for this Valtteri Puustinen card?
A: This specific card is catalogued as number #C108 within the 2022-23 Upper Deck Series 2 master hockey checklist. The “C” prefix denotes its inclusion within the premium UD Canvas insert tier rather than the standard base paper configuration.

Q: What is the card thickness of a 2022-23 Upper Deck Young Guns Canvas card?
A: Standard flagship base cards and Young Guns Canvas inserts from this year are manufactured on traditional 20-point stock. Despite the specialized woven texture on the card face, they do not require extra-thick magnetic holders and fit into standard 35-point rigid top loaders.

Q: Does Valtteri Puustinen have other rookie card variations in the 2022-23 Upper Deck checklist?
A: Yes, collectors actively track down high-end parallel variations from the production run. This includes his standard glossy base Young Guns card (#478) from Series 2, along with the extremely rare hobby-exclusive serial-numbered Exclusives and High Gloss variations.

Q: Which other players are included on the 2022-23 Upper Deck Series 2 Young Guns Canvas checklist?
A: Series 2 features premium rookie companion cards to Series 1, anchored by high-demand textured rookie profiles including Juraj Slafkovsky (#C211), Shane Wright (#C213), and Wyatt Johnston (#C224).

Q: What are the pack insertion odds for a 2022-23 Upper Deck Young Guns Canvas card?
A: Flagship UD Canvas rookie card inserts fall at a verified rate of approximately 1 in every 48 hobby packs. Because the overall rookie checklist is spread thinly across the total factory print run, pulling a specific player from a box is mathematically difficult.

Q: Can you pull 2022-23 Upper Deck Series 2 Young Guns Canvas parallel variations from retail blisters?
A: Retail blister packs and blaster boxes contain standard base sets and standard UD Canvas variants. High-tier alternative formats, including clear cut acetate sheet variants or printing plates used in the manufacturing run, are strictly reserved for hobby boxes.
