Let’s look back at some of the best Upper Deck Young Guns cards from the past five seasons:
2005-06 Upper Deck Sidney Crosby Young Gun (card #201) – Current Beckett Value in Mint Condition = $350
Sidney Crosby has lived up to the amazing hype around him and become one of the best players in the NHL. Over the past two years he has really become a true hockey hero having won the Stanley Cup and having helped lead Team Canada to a gold medal in the Vancouver Olympics. His cards go for big money and those who were wise enough to snatch up these cards early are likely very happy today.
2005-06 Upper Deck Alexander Ovechkin Young Gun (card #443) – Current Beckett Value in Mint Condition = $120
Alex Ovechkin has become one of the most popular players in the world over the last few seasons. He beat out Sidney Crosby for the Calder his rookie year and has won the Hart Trophy for the NHL’s Most Valuable Player the last two seasons. He is poised to bring the Washington Capitals a Stanley Cup Trophy soon and like his legend, interest in his cards should continue to rise.
2006-07 Upper Deck Evgeni Malkin Young Gun (card #486) – Current Beckett Value in Mint Condition = $100
Adding Evgeni Malkin to the Penguins line-up has made life a lot easier for Sidney Crosby. Malkin won the Calder Trophy his rookie season and quickly helped the Penguins capture the Stanley Cup his second season. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy during those playoffs as well. Malkin is a lethal scorer who continues to get better each year. His cards seem to get better every year too.
2007-08 Upper Deck Jonathan Toews Young Gun (card #462) – Current Beckett Value in Mint Condition = $80
Jonathan Toews has helped lead the Chicago Blackhawks from the basement to the penthouse in only a couple of seasons. He is the third youngest player to be named full captain of a team and he showed his leadership by helping the Blackhawks win their first Stanley Cup last season. That same season he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as well. He helped Team Canada get gold and that’s what many collectors feel his cards are worth, gold…
2008-09 Upper Deck Steven Stamkos Young Gun (card #245) – Current Beckett Value in Mint Condition = $60
Steven Stamkos got off to a relatively slow start his rookie season and all eyes were definitely on him to be the next great player. He broke out of that slump his sophomore season in a big way by scoring 51 goals, tied for the most in the NHL with Sidney Crosby. If he continues to blossom like this in Tampa Bay, he’ll be one of the biggest stars, and most collected players very soon.
2009-10 Upper Deck John Tavares Young Gun (card #201) – Current Beckett Value in Mint Condition = $60
John Tavares finds himself at the center of the rebuilding effort of one of the most storied NHL franchises in the game. Tavares led rookies in scoring for most of his freshman season and scored five consecutive Islander goals over a 4-game span, tying a club record. His talent is undeniable and if he can lead the Islanders back to greatness, his cards will be in high demand.
