A rookie class that featured the likes of future Russian born superstars Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk as well as others such as Ilya Bryzgalov, Erik Cole, Pascal Dupuis, Kristian Huselius and Raffi Torres, offered here is this complete assembly of Upper Deck's 2001-02 Young Guns rookie card set that was released as a part of their flagship Series 1 and Series 2 releases. Paced by graded copies of the first-year cardboard picturing Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk, the Datsyuk example has earned a mark of NM-MT+ 8.5 from Beckett along with subgrades of Centering 10, Corners 8, Edges 9 and Surface 9.5 while the Kovalchuk displays a designation of GEM MINT 9.5 on its label along with subgrades of Centering 9.5, Corners 9, Edges 9.5 and Surface 10. Both housed in Beckett holders that remain in excellent condition and show just slight wear via light scratches and scuffs that are worth mentioning for accuracy, the rest of the set, all found in raw ungraded form and seen as being in the condition ranges of EX-MT to NM and NM or better includes the key cards of players such as Ilya Bryzgalov, Erik Cole, Pascal Dupuis, Kristian Huselius and Raffi Torres as well as Young Guns "Flashbacks" of legendary names such as Gretzky, Messier, Roy, Jagr, Bourque and Hasek among others. A fantastic set chalked full of top end talent that went on to long NHL careers, don't miss out on these!
