08-09 The Cup Question

[Petrafire]

hey guys im a set collector and have been collecting the Upper Deck set since 1990 anyways i was thinking of going after a higher end set with rookies and was looking at The Cup now im wondering does this set have all the rookies that are in the Upper Deck set plus more? thanks in advance

The Cup is the last and biggest product of the year, and should have all of the biggest rookies at least. You won't see the bottom-of-the-barrel guys like you would see in an early set like Victory but the best should be there so long as they made their debuts before the checklist was determined many months before the product came out.

so are all the young guns rookies also in this set?

Some are not - guys that would have played like 1 game may not make the cut for The Cup.

Most are though. Some are just the auto version /199 instead of the auto/patch version /249 or /99.

If going after the complete set it will cost a lot because of the ones /99 though this year probably would be the cheapest with Stamkos being the most expensive.
