Here We Go! is one of the newer inserts landing in 2026-27 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey, and it's built around a photography angle collectors haven't seen much of before.
Here's a practical breakdown of what the insert actually is and where it fits alongside the set's other chase pieces.
None of this requires prior familiarity with Series 1's insert lineup to follow.
Pull rate and parallel structure are the two most useful things to know before opening product.
Most inserts in this product line lean on action shots or posed portraits, so a design built specifically around the face-off circle gives Here We Go! a genuinely distinct visual identity on the shelf. The foilboard treatment adds shine without leaning on a heavy parallel structure to stand out.
That combination makes it an easy insert to spot in a stack of pulls, even before checking the back for confirmation.
At roughly 1:8 packs, Here We Go! sits in a more accessible tier than the set's rarest short prints, meaning most collectors opening a standard box will land at least a few copies. That accessibility makes it a realistic target for set-builders rather than a pure chase-only insert.
Checking a box's total pack count against this rate gives a reasonable expectation for how many copies to expect from a single break.
Speckle is the short-print parallel tier attached to Here We Go!, adding a textured overlay to the base foilboard design. As a short print, it pulls meaningfully less often than the base insert, giving the design a real chase tier without requiring an entirely separate numbered parallel run.
Collectors focused on building a complete Here We Go! run should treat Speckle copies as the harder half of that project, not an afterthought.
Series 1's insert lineup this year leans heavily on new designs, and Here We Go! joins Stencils, Debut Dates, Electric Soul, and Youthful Spirits as one of several fresh options collectors are evaluating for the first time. Its more accessible pull rate sets it apart from the set's rarest short prints.
Comparing pull rates across the full insert lineup is a useful way to prioritize a limited opening budget.
A fresh insert design is worth protecting the moment it comes out of the pack. EVORETRO's Topload Card Holder handles that first line of defense reliably.

Given its 1:8 pack rate, a standard Hobby box realistically delivers enough copies to start a Here We Go! run without needing to commit to case-level buying. Set-builders can reasonably plan around box-level purchases rather than assuming they need a full case from day one.
Tracking which copies you've already pulled against the full checklist keeps a set-building project from stalling out partway through.
With a base pull rate of roughly 1:8 packs, most collectors will accumulate several standard Here We Go! copies before ever landing a Speckle short print. Deciding upfront whether the goal is a complete base run or a single strong Speckle chase helps avoid spreading a limited opening budget too thin across both goals at once.
Set-builders chasing the full base checklist can treat any Speckle pull as a bonus rather than the primary objective, which keeps expectations realistic across a standard box or two.
For collectors weighing case-level buying, Here We Go!'s roughly 1:8 pack rate translates to somewhere around 18 copies across a standard 144-pack case, which is enough volume to realistically chase both the base checklist and a handful of Speckle short prints in the same purchase. That math makes a case a genuinely reasonable option for a dedicated set-builder, even without needing to chase the insert's rarest tier specifically.
Running that kind of quick math before committing to a case purchase helps set realistic expectations for how complete a checklist run is likely to end up.
