BGS Grading Averages (chart included) for Young Gun Rookies

[Taxi]

Actually, from my recollection, since 2000-01, they have always been "short printed" and seeded about 1:4 packs. in 2002-03, they super short printed them to 1:24 packs for series 1 (Zetterberg, Nash), but not for Series 2 (Spezza). On
e could argue that 200-2004, the YGs were more rare than the 2005 to present YGs due to increased overall production of Upper Deck base cards.

You might be right...I thought that the SP didn't begin until 2002 or so, but it may have begun in 2000/2001. The biggest issues with 2000/2001 was that the biggest rookies, Gaborik, Ryder, and Heatley, all fell off the face of the Earth, in terms of hockey skills.

From 2001 onwards the cards seem to hold very good value. Players like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Bergeron, Burns, and Nash all sell very well.
