16-17 SP Authentic Checklist is up!

Interesting checklist. I noticed that Vesey, Matthews, Marner, and Laine all have "Authentic Moments" cards which appear in the set before the FWA. Based on the RC convention of the first card in the set being your rookie card (like in Trilogy), wouldn't that make these moments cards RCs and the FWAs not?? I know no one would actually think that, but it is interesting based on the way things are normally defined.

You know I didn't actually notice that. That is definitely an odd little quirk to this set that I don't think was ever there before.

My guess would be in the $1,000 range to start. You Leaf fans are a crazy bunch! lol

I'm a Leafs fan but anyone who willingly offers a four-figured amount for a raw rookie card of any player needs to be committed to an institution, because they have clearly lost their mind.

I usually wait a few years before acquiring "big ticket" rookie cards because I don't buy into the hype. Most (but not all) players have the "sophomore slump".
