2024-25 Upper Deck DC Annual Checklist

DC Comics characters, creator signatures and physical e-Pack achievement cards

2024-25 Upper Deck DC Annual brings DC heroes, villains and comic-book stories together in a 100-card base set with themed inserts, creator autographs and original sketch artwork. Its Pack Wars format launched on Upper Deck e-Pack on October 14, 2026, extending the existing collection with combining rewards and achievement cards. The format launch does not change the product's original May 27, 2026 release listing.

What's in the checklist

• Base: The 100-card character checklist includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, Nightwing and a broad selection of DC characters.
• Parallels: The physical Color Wheel Blue Sparkle reward follows the 100 base card numbers and subjects. It is earned by combining five matching fractional Pack Wars Parallel cards. The separately listed Black Variant Cover Printing Plates also cover 100 subjects and are numbered one-of-one. Fractional Pack Wars cards are game items and are excluded from the physical checklist additions.
• Inserts: Existing families include #1 Spot, Absolute Power, Backscatters, Elseworlds, Nightwing, Shazam!, Star Rookies, Suspended Animation and Wonder Woman. Pack Wars adds Premieres P-10 The Joker, numbered to 99, and Premieres Gold Parallel P-12 Batman, numbered to 25. These are distinct numbered achievement identities, so a matching version of each subject should not be assumed in the other finish.
• Autographs and artwork: Creators Corner and Creators Corner Dual remain part of the original checklist. The Pack Wars source names 24 sketch achievement artists and a separate leaderboard sketch achievement by Jarod Vickery. Artist listings identify contributors, not the number of unique artworks or a guaranteed depicted character.

Notable subjects

Batman and The Joker are the named first-week Premieres rewards. Jarod Vickery is the first leaderboard sketch artist; the separate sketch achievement roster also includes Cleber Lima, Christine Tsin, Don Nguyen and Jamie Sullivan.

Grading considerations

Confirm that an e-Pack item has been fulfilled as a physical card before preparing it for grading. Check the exact reward name, card number and serial numbering, and distinguish a printing plate from a printed parallel. Inspect corners, edges and surfaces under consistent light, and choose appropriate protection for the card's construction. Original sketch artwork should be identified by its stated artist without assuming identical artwork across copies.
