Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023

The title here should be thought-provoking for those of you who follow the ultra-modern game, with a possible gem mint example of Connor McDavid’s coveted Upper Deck “Young Guns” rookie card coming to mind. Have you seen the kid skate and stickhandle and score and set up his Edmonton Oilers teammates? What a phenom, with the total number of NHL scoring titles in his past and future still years away from being tallied up. Let’s see, Gretzky won ten to better Howe’s record of six, with Gordie known for saying that records are made to be broken. Connor has won the Art Ross Trophy four times and is 26 years old – interesting. As are the numbers here; a dozen 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 1 Hobby boxes are in a factory-sealed case, with each box featuring (24) eight-card packs. Joining the Series 1 Young Guns roster, (that also includes rookie cards of Rantanen, Panarin, Hellebuyck, Larkin, Ehlers and others), is Upper Deck’s always-interesting assortment of inserts and parallels, with autographed and memorabilia cards among them. There are reports of an average of six Young Guns per hobby box. We all know which one pack-busters will be gunning for, whether that’s right away or in a couple/few years – the options you’ll have as the new owner are numerous. Good luck with this tempting high-stakes opportunity.
One end of the box which had a previously affixed label cut-out has the outer-layer of cardboard in this area which was removed in the process but the box is still all sealed-up and there is no other notable condition issues with the box otherwise aside from some handling wear. The sides of the box are stamped with ''84211'' while its has “56232-05-Hobby” stamped on the bottom.
