Surely worthy of your portfolio of encapsulated rookie cards of young superstars is that of Leon Draisaitl, with the grading already taken care of for you here and the potent power forward’s desirable 2014-15 Upper Deck Young Guns RC offered in 9.5 GEM MINT form after its inspection by MNT. Pasternak, Draisaitl, Vasilevskiy and Horvat lead Upper Deck’s RC roster from 2014-15 in terms of importance/value and fans of Leon and the Edmonton Oilers sure hope he and that McDavid guy can lead them to the promised land in the not too distant future. Sporting subgrades of Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5, Surface 9.5 and Centering 9.5 at the bottom of its label, more potent individual performances and some team success will surely propel this high-grade copy of card #223 to greater heights. Housed In a MNT holder that shows just a couple light scratches/flaws over each side, this example is definitely deserving of your consideration. Additionally, also included with the lot is a copy of Leon’s 2020-21 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Gold Etchings card that has earned a mark of MINT 9 from Beckett and sports subgrades of Centering 10, Corners 9, Edges 9.5 and Surface 9. Housed in a Beckett holder, once again a few light scratches/flaws are seen over both sides.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by MNT may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this piece through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
