13/14 The Cup Rookies

[sunbaseman]

Do you have any information about the release date?

[RGM81]

We won't hear anything that even confirms the existence of 2013-14 Cup until the summer, let alone a release date.

No love for any swedish rcs?
Maybe Lindholm Elias or Hampus?

Its not based on performance unfortunately...or Palat and Johnson would be in, Bjugstad > Barkov, Trouba, Hampus > Jones etc

I wonder what a 3 color Mackinnon will net. 1k to 1.5k

Try 3k to 5k, i'm forecasting Mackinnon to be the highest valued Cup RPA since Crosby and I'm going to pull one! Lol

I wouldn't be surprised if upper deck doesn't even have an rpa for johnson or palat. Especially since there have been 0 autos of johnson or palat produced by upper deck so far. And neither company has produced any memorabilia cards of them as well.

I realize that the products are designed well in advance and before the season these guys were unknown, but you would think they would at least have added redemption for these guys. Or is it just because they are in Tampa.

It's not every day we see people actually advocating for a redemption of a popular rookie. LOL

It is a difficult thing to try to forecast which rookies will catch fire at the start of a season. Hertl made a splash early with his 4-goal game and UD was able to get a very cool Canvas YG produced in time for Series 1, and that card was gangbusters early. But it's a lot more difficult when it comes to acquiring autographs and memorabilia. You have to be able to schedule a good 2-3 hour block of a player's (in the case of Tampa's rookies, two players') time for them to sign stuff, wear stuff, etc. Not always easy. Is it the case of a ball being dropped here? Absolutely. Panini's had Palat autos in a number of products -- no memorabilia, though.

I'm not making apologies on anyone's behalf here, but coordinating and securing autograph and memorabilia content is not an easy feat. If it were I wouldn't be sitting here waiting and hoping for my PK Signature Pucks to be made still. LOL
