U/D question

[jim bradt]

In this years U/D who are the top YG cards?

What are the Canvas cards? Are they game used cards, are they numbered and are they rare or just a common insert?

What is the rarest and hardest inserts to pull?

Hi Jim,

the most desired Young guns from a price standpoint are #1 Nugent Hopkins, #2 Landeskog, #3 a few, Couturier, Connolly, and Hodgson.

Canvas card set is a 90 basic card subset and the 50 young guns. Numbered to C1-C90 and C91 - C140. The "canvas" is the finish on the cards, it gives the surface a "canvas" feel and look to it. They look great. They come 4 to a $75 box.

The base card photography is the absolute best I've seen in my opinion for the UD series sets.The canvas photography is even better, in particular Marc Andre Fleury.

The other set I like are the 1950's hockey heroes set. It's the oldies in a sepia tone look. They also can come with rare autos out of 15.

Hope that helps,
Regards, James (416beatles)

Good thread as this is the information I was seeking earlier. I'd like to try and pick up a YG card of Landeskog and maybe Couturier. Don't want to overpay now and find I *may* not get a return in years to come.

Sorry to hijack, but I have a 11/12 UD Exclusives Spectrum /10 of James van Riemsdyk. Not overly knowledgable on this set; is this a desirable card?

Hi,
there is a JVR 4/10 2011/12 UD card on ebay right now. It's at a $1 with 4 days to go. He is quite collectable, so I would expect the card to sell at about $20 - $30 (my guess only).

Around the figure I thought. Might keep it though. I like JvR.

Heck, even Darren Helm's /10 is going for some pennies right now!

Thanks for the info, exactly what I was looking for.
