All 2016-17 Upper Deck Artifacts, MVP Rookie Redemptions revealed

By Stephen Laroche | Beckett Hockey Editor

Wondering what 2016-17 Upper Deck Artifacts Hockey Rookie Redemption you have? The card maker has started to release the names of the players that will fill in the checklist as well as some of their other planned redemptions from 2015-16 Upper Deck Portfolio and 2016-17 Upper Deck MVP.

What many collectors have been chasing as of late are the rookie redemptions from 2016-17 Upper Deck Artifacts. Split into those that extend the base set and those that are part of a group of 20 that were assigned roman numerals, there is often quite a bit of speculation as to which players are picked.

Starting with the Roman Numeral rookie redemptions, Upper Deck has only announced Auston Matthews, Patrik Laine, and Jesse Puljujarvi as the first three in the set. The 30 redemptions based on teams include many key early season debuts and each NHL club is represented. There are 10 additional Wild Cards and Kyle Connor and Mitch Marner are part of that lineup.

The longest wait for collectors for rookie redemptions at this point is from 2015-16 Upper Deck Portfolio. A late summer release, it included six different XRC Rookie Photo Redemptions that came in Color (1:360), Wire Photo (1:480), Color Art (1:720), and Black and White Art (1:1,440) variations. Each of those also had an even tougher signed version with insertion odds that began at 1:1,000 packs. While William Nylander, Anthony Mantha, and Pavel Zacha‘s cards were previously announced, they are now joined by Matthews, Laine, and Puljujarvi.

There are also supplemental rookie cards only available via redemption cards grouped by division that are found in packs of 2016-17 Upper Deck MVP. However, there was the confirmation of the obvious for the 2016 #1 Draft Pick redemption card, which of course is Matthews.

Stay tuned to this page as these checklists are fully announced by Upper Deck.
