The fact it was printed in Italy makes me think they used whoever printed Panini’s stickers for years.

Nah Raymond and Seider should be in their own tier in tier 1 followed by Byfield then everyone else.Anyone with the knowledge feel like posting a general tier list of projected player/card value of the Young Guns?
I'm pulling a bunch but not familiar with everyone, probably overlooking some guys.
Do you guys think this list is accurate?

Got a case. Newhook and Ylonen seem to be together for me although in one of the boxes I did get Mercer, Newhook and Ylonen together.
I can attest to that. I pulled both of them in the one hobby box I opened. Only other card worth mentioning was a Sampo Ranta YG clear cut, which I suppose isnt the worst case, but would of preferred better obviously.
After watching more breaks Sieder, Neighbours and Lockwood is definitely a common combo.
No but they might be inclined to raise the prices again if we keep buying. I gave up on Upper Deck after seeing their astronomical rise. Gave in this year because I wanted Seider and Raymond but unless there is another hot Wings rookie card I have no reason to keep buying at these prices. Upper Deck may be tempted to bump the prices again. If people keep buying they have no reason not to until more people throw in the towel.
They've jacked up prices slightly when there is lots of demand. It's like $10-15 though, not $200+. When McDavid was a rookie prices went up slightly. This last year with Laf prices went to again.
If anything, it’s best to research what your have. EBay is an excellent tool if you search sold listings and the number of bids. Depending on what you have, there could be specific sets or cards that have good value. Even Victory rookies (among Upper Deck’s cheapest rookie cards) many top players have value. Crosby and Ovechkin rookie year cards (2005-06) are in demand and are valuable, as well as other years. Overall, it’s best to go on eBay and look stuff up. If you have 2001 and 2002 Upper Deck Young Guns, there are some rare ones (and errors?) that sell extremely well, even for no name players. I’m not as familiar with those myself though as those were when I was on a collecting hiatus.
Young Guns always feature the player in their NHL jersey. The deal is also with the NHL/NHLPA, so if a player was undrafted, they couldn't be included in a set that features only NHL players.

The NHLPA also has a rule that no player can be featured on an NHL card until they have actually played an NHL game:

Upper Deck has just five weeks to get the most popular rookie cards of the year created for hockey fans around the world. Check out how we do it!
Series 1 doesn't come out until after the season starts, and they have to quickly get all the rookies onto cards. They can obviously cheat a bit, as it's typically obvious with big rookies who will start the season or not.
Should have opted for a case or 5 when 15-16 S1 came out. Those prices opening week were fire sale prices compared to some of the product today.
Lol. At the time everyone was complaining. The smart move would have been to stock up on McDavid YGs for $200 CAD each and then get them graded by PSA for $9 each.... One guy also spent six figures buying the cup and everyone on the forums was baffled. I think we were shell shocked by the fact it was going for like $500 Cad a box....
My best buy was actually an Ovi at the time but yah man should have stocked up on McDavid....or not sold some of the ones I had....
