A rookie class that featured the likes of Steven Stamkos, a two-time Stanley Cup champion who was the 1st overall pick at the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, as well as others such as T.J. Oshie, Drew Doughty, Claude Giroux and Blake Wheeler, offered here is this complete assembly of Upper Deck's 2008-09 Young Guns rookie card set that was released as a part of their flagship Series 1 and Series 2 releases. Headlined by the key card of Steven Stamkos, this particular copy of the set's most valuable first-year offering has been inspected and slabbed by Beckett, who have deemed it worthy of a GEM MINT 9.5 designation. Displaying subgrades of Centering 9, Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5 and Surface 10, the holder the card is housed in remains in excellent condition, sporting just light wear via a couple light scratches and scuffs over both sides. For the other four (4) most valuable cards in the set, picturing players T.J. Oshie, Drew Doughty, Claude Giroux and Blake Wheeler, all four (4) remain in raw ungraded form and display in the condition range of NM or better in our opinion after inspection, showing just very light wear to the corners and/or edges that is worth pointing out for accuracy. For the rest of the set, notable cards include those of Zach Bogosian, James Neal, Wayne Simmonds, Patric Hornqvist, Kyle Okposo, Jakub Voracek, Kyle Turris, Alex Pietrangelo, Luke Schenn, Simeon Varlamov, Ben Bishop and Corey Schneider among many others, all are found once again in raw ungraded form and fall in the same condition range of NM or better. A fantastic set chalked full of top end talent still making their presence felt in the league today, don't miss out on these!
