Upper Deck Black Diamond.
 The
base set is broken up into Single Diamond players
(1-84), Double Diamond players (85-126), Triple
Diamond players (127-168) and Quad Diamond players
(169-210).
Each box is LOADED with six Double Diamond,
six Triple Diamond and two Quadruple Diamond
cards. To top it off 2005/2006 Upper Deck Black
Diamond Hockey boxes have two memorabilia cards
and GemoGRAPHY signature cards in one out of
every two boxes.
Black Diamond Parallel cards include, rare
Ruby parallels (all cards numbered to 100 copies),
rare Emerald parallels (#’d to 25), scarce
Gold parallels (#’d to 10), and one-of-a-kind
Onyx parallels (1 of 1).
As one of the most sought after hockey sets
Upper Deck Black Diamond doesn’t disappoint
with a wide array of rookies.

collectors can also find: Thomas Vanek, Brandon
Bochenski, Alexander Steen, Peter Budaj, Dion
Phaneuf, Brent Seabrook, Jussi Jokinen, Chris
Campoli, Keith Ballard, Mike Richards, Cam Ward,
