$200.00USD

PSA Graded Card - Certification #88899635 - Grade: MINT 9

This is the sought-after 2023-24 Upper Deck Young Guns rookie card of Connor Bedard, card #451. The card features an action shot of Bedard in his Chicago Blackhawks uniform, skating and preparing to play the puck, with an arena crowd blurred in the background. The 'Young Guns' logo and the Blackhawks' team logo are foiled at the bottom, alongside Bedard's name in bold white type on a black and silver banner. The border design uses metallic silver foiling with a cosmic-style blue and purple background accent, typical for the Young Guns subset. Visually, the card uses sharp color separation between the red of the uniform, the white ice, and the detailing of the border. This example is encapsulated and graded PSA 9 (Mint), indicating only the slightest signs of wear under magnification. There is no autograph or special printing technologies beyond typical Upper Deck high-gloss/photo stock and silver-foil stamping. This release is notable as Bedard is one of the most anticipated hockey rookies in decades, making this one of the flagship rookie cards of the 2023-24 hockey collecting season.
