Autographs, more Young Guns, and massive chase cards! 2023-24 Upper Deck Extended Series is set to take the collectibles market by storm!
The third and final installment of Upper Deck's Flagship Series, 2023-24 Extended Series, will be released on Wednesday, June 26. Extended Series brings together the 98 Young Guns from Series One and Two plus 29 new Young Guns.
In short, Extended Series is the best Flagship product if having a chance to hit a card from every Young Gun in the 2023-24 set is your thing.
Connor Bedard has 11 different inserts to chase, each one will bring a nice premium. His 1st Round Rookies 1/1 Gold Outburst will carry substantial value but may not bring a $1,000,000 bounty like his Gold Outburst Young Guns from Series Two.
The Bedard Young Guns Canvas is a chase card Extended Series. Young Guns Canvas parallels can be found 1:24 packs meaning the Bedard Canvas Young Guns will appear 1:720 boxes.
The Acetate Young Guns are extremely rare and carry substantial value. There are 98 players with Young Guns Acetate hits. The Bedard Acetate Young Guns could trade for north of $5,000 on release day.
Bedard or Bust?
No. Thankfully 2023-24 Upper Deck Extended Series will not be a Bedard or bust product like 2023-24 Upper Deck Synergy. The release day price point of $149.95 and deep checklist will make 2023-24 Extended Series an enjoyable product.
Who Else Besides Bedard Are We Looking For?
Adam Fantilli and Logan Cooley will anchor the 2023-24 Extended Series base Young Guns checklist. Simon Nemec, Ryker Evans, and Ivan Miroshnichenko are some Young Guns to speculate on.
Autographs
Autographs have been a great chase for Extended Series. Bedard, Fantilli, Cooley, Dustin Wolf, and Luke Evangelista are some of the headliners of the 2007-08 Black Diamond Retros autographs checklist. Veterans such as Alex Tuch, David Perron, and Filip Gustavsson have autographs as well.
Why Do We Love Extended Series?
Extended Series is a melting pot for every player with a 2023-24 Young Guns hit from the Flagship series. There are so many different inserts, parallels, and rare cards to chase. Extended Series is an enjoyable rip as you are likely to hit a couple of cards from the featured Young Guns of the Flagship Series.
The floor is high because of the deep checklist and the fact that lesser known Young Guns could breakout during the 2024-25 season. The ceiling is extremely high because of the Gold Outburst parallels, Acetate Young Guns, and autographs.
Happy hunting and collecting!
