2025-26 Rookie Class - Who you gonna collect?

[mooneyes]

Oldish thread... I was thinking of investing in a few nice Brad Lambert cards, but he is such an enigma...I know he's not from this years crop but not much else for Jets to be excited about?
On the flipside, I am almost tempted to preorder my first case, of this years series1 to almost guarantee I get a Demidov Young guns, but that seems a tad nuts. lol

I'll look for Demidov low-enders in trades, cards like the Skybox Metal, OPC and OPCP basic rookies. I'm downsizing my collection to buy a few bigger vintage cards, I'm very picky on what I buy now.

@odjickfan Do you need an MVP RC? I may have an extra...

I took a minute to look at completed sales and I was shocked. They are selling very well at the moment. I'll wait a bit to try for one. Thank you for the offer.

@odjickfan I suspect they may drop down the road once other rookies hit the market. But for now, unless you're paying COMC tariffs this is his only card out there.

I agree with you, it's the only option at the moment to get a Demidov rookie, with the Montreal market being what it is, when there's a good prospect, the hype is huge.

Ryan Leonard is probably going to get the full gambit of RC's this year. He signed his ELC and joined the team after BC lost the finals, and played in the playoffs. He has a ton of hype behind him, so I can see Upper Deck fully utilizing that to plaster his face into every brand and product they can.

After that, I'm not sure who all else the Caps are going to bring up this year. Possibly Andrew Cristall, if he excels at camp. Cole Hutson (Lane's brother) has an outside chance, but I think everyone expects him to go back to college again this season.

Sam Rinzel on the Hawks is going to be a stud. In the handful of games he played last year, he already plays like a top pair dman. Hoping he's in series 1.
