2015-16 Upper Deck Young Guns Gallery
By Ryan Cracknell | Hobby Editor
When 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey another batch of Young Guns rookie cards arrived. Another 50 came with Series 2. Even in the slowest of seasons, these are, traditionally, some of the most popular rookies of the season.
This isn’t the slowest of seasons and the 2015-16 Upper Deck Young Guns are anything but average.
Although Connor McDavid is getting a lot of attention and driving lots of sales, the depth goes beyond just the Oilers super-rookie.
Jack Eichel, Max Domi, Dylan Larkin and Artemi Panarin are some of the other 2015-16 Upper Deck Young Guns drawing lots of early interest.
Ultimately, though, it comes back to McDavid. Early sales of his Young Guns vault him towards the top of an all-time list for the subset comparable to Sidney Crosby and well ahead of Carey Price and Steven Stamkos.
A total of 49 players have Young Guns in 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey. There’s also a checklist with McDavid and Sam Bennett. All are short prints inserted 1:4 hobby packs (six per box). These run #201 to 250. Another 49 plus another checklist are in Series 2 (#451-500).
Here’s a gallery and vitals of all of the 2015-16 Upper Deck Young Guns so you can see how your team’s represented, players’ ages and when they were drafted.
