The main checklist highlights of every flagship Upper Deck release since they were first introduced to the hobby in 1990-91, for the season’s incoming crop of rookies, some consider the sight of their Young Guns rookie card as the true sign of having officially fulfilled their lifelong NHL dreams. Presented here, we offer this complete set of Young Guns rookie cards from Upper Deck’s 2014-15 release. Paced by the likes of superstars Leon Draisaitl and David Pastrnak, both have had their respective examples graded with the Draisaitl earning a mark of GEM MINT 9.5 from Beckett (subgrades of Centering 10, Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5 and Surface 9.5) while the Pastrnak has garnered a MINT 9 designation from PSA. Both housed for preservation in holders that remain in excellent condition with just a couple of light scratches/scuffs observed, the duo is joined by the card of Oscar Klefbom, who has also had his example marked with a grade of GEM MINT 9.5 from Beckett (subgrades Centering 10, Corners 9.5 Edges 9.5 and Surface 9.5). For the rest of the group, featuring prominent names such as Nurse, Ekblad, Vasilevskiy, Gaudreau, Reinhart, Karlsson, Binnington, Kuznetsov, Drouin, Duclair, Trocheck, Teravainen and many more, all are either housed in magnetic one-touch holders or basic top loaders with all the cards making up the set that are still in their raw ungraded form presenting in the condition range of Near Mint condition or better after inspection. A fantastic high-grade set profiling a strong rookie class, it is worth noting that the cards of Jyrki Jokipakka and Andrew Agozzino are Exclusives parallels that are numbered “012/100” and “017/100” respectively.
