Dazzlers has been one of Upper Deck AEW Wrestling's most reliable hobby-box inserts since it debuted in 2023, and it is back again in the 2026 flagship set.
What's different this year isn't the concept, it's the math: Dazzlers Blue now hits at roughly 1 in 21 packs and the Green parallel at roughly 1 in 64, both noticeably tougher than any prior year's odds.
For collectors who remember pulling three or four Dazzlers out of a single 2023 or 2024 box, that shift changes how realistic chasing a specific name on this year's checklist actually is.
Here is the full 25-card checklist, what separates the Blue and Green tiers, and exactly how this year's odds stack up against Dazzlers' own three-year history.
Dazzlers first appeared in Upper Deck's AEW Wrestling flagship in 2023, carrying over the bright, foil-heavy insert style Upper Deck had already established for years in its hockey products before bringing it into wrestling.
The design concept is straightforward: take AEW's most recognizable on-screen names and give them a standalone insert built around color and shine rather than base-card photography, which is part of why it has returned every year since its debut.
The 2026 Dazzlers Blue checklist runs 25 cards deep, numbered DZ-1 through DZ-25, and covers a mix of AEW's top current stars and mid-card names with real on-screen momentum.
The full lineup: Mercedes Mone (DZ-1), Mina Shirakawa (DZ-2), Kyle Fletcher (DZ-3), "Timeless" Toni Storm (DZ-4), Anna Jay (DZ-5), Penelope Ford (DZ-6), Harley Cameron (DZ-7), Rocky Romero (DZ-8), Lance Archer (DZ-9), Hologram (DZ-10), Skye Blue (DZ-11), Wheeler Yuta (DZ-12), Mansoor (DZ-13), Mason Madden (DZ-14), Wardlow (DZ-15), Will Ospreay (DZ-16), Max Caster (DZ-17), Kevin Knight (DZ-18), "Speedball" Mike Bailey (DZ-19), Lio Rush (DZ-20), Ricochet (DZ-21), Turbo Floyd (DZ-22), Truth Magnum (DZ-23), Action Andretti (DZ-24), and Anthony Bowens (DZ-25).
Every name on the 25-card checklist exists in both a Blue and a Green version, with Blue functioning as the base tier at 1:21 packs and Green sitting above it as the tougher parallel at 1:64 packs.
That's roughly a 3x gap in pull rate between the two colors on the same 25 names, meaning a specific wrestler's Green card is meaningfully scarcer than that same wrestler's Blue card, not just a cosmetic color swap.
Dazzlers debuted in 2023 at a relatively generous 1:7 packs for Blue and 1:96 for Green, with hobby boxes averaging four total Dazzlers pulls. By 2024 and into 2025, Blue tightened to 1:5 packs with Green landing around 1:20, and boxes still delivered roughly three Dazzlers on average both years.
2026 breaks that pattern hard: Blue alone is now rarer than Green ever was in 2023, and the insert drops to roughly one Dazzlers pull per hobby box on average, a real step down in overall supply rather than a minor odds adjustment.
A 2026 hobby box runs 16 packs, which puts the expected Blue count at roughly 0.76 cards per box and Green at roughly 0.25 cards per box, a combined rate that lines up with checklist trackers' own reported average of one Dazzlers insert per box.
In practical terms, that means a meaningful share of hobby boxes opened this year will land zero Dazzlers of any color, a real possibility that almost never applied to the 2023-2025 versions of this same insert.
Mercedes Mone's DZ-1 slot and Will Ospreay's DZ-16 card lead the checklist in secondary-market attention, both tied to two of AEW's most consistently pushed current stars across 2026's storylines.
"Timeless" Toni Storm's DZ-4 card and Wardlow's DZ-15 round out the names collectors are most likely to target specifically, rather than simply hoping for any Dazzlers pull regardless of who's on it. Collectors planning to submit a DZ-1 or DZ-16 pull for grading should have graded card sleeves ready for when the slab comes back.
Dazzlers isn't competing alone for pack space; 2026 also debuts Mighty Ones, Star Entrances, Toni's Timeline, and Total Access, plus the returning UD Canvas and UD Portraits lines, all drawing from the same 16-pack hobby box.
Against that backdrop, Dazzlers' roughly 1-per-box average still makes it one of the more attainable named inserts in the set, even with 2026's tighter odds, since several of the newer debuts land at odds similar to or rarer than Dazzlers Green.
25 cards, numbered DZ-1 through DZ-25.
Blue hits at roughly 1 in 21 packs, Green at roughly 1 in 64 packs.
Roughly one, combining both Blue and Green odds across 16 packs.
Yes, noticeably; 2023 Blue odds were 1:7 and boxes averaged four Dazzlers pulls.
A Green-tier Dazzlers pull at 1:64 packs is rare enough that it deserves rigid protection before it ever changes hands at a show or gets mailed off for grading.
Start with EVORETRO's 180pt toploaders for the thicker foil inserts, since a bent corner on a 1:64 pull is a permanent, unrecoverable loss.
