Upper Deck 2023-24 Series Two retail products feature great value, if you could find them on the shelves at places like Target and Walmart. Available at a fraction of the price of hobby boxes, Upper Deck 2023-24 Series Two retail tins, Mega boxes, and blasters featured hits that were not found in hobby boxes.

O-Pee-Chee Glossy cards features some of the best rookies and active veterans in the National Hockey League.

Connor Bedard's O-Pee-Chee Glossy Rookie card could be found in approximately one out of 400 packs of the retail products listed above.

One of the easiest paths to guaranteeing yourself a Bedard rookie card was to purchase an Upper Deck 2023-24 NHL Star Rookies Box Set. Each box set featured 25 rookies with a chance to pull a rare autograph card.

Leo Carlsson has the distinct honor of being the only player, besides Bedard, to make the top-10 list twice. The No. 2 overall pick of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft sits at nine points (five goals) in the 2024-25 season. The 19-year-old had 29 points (12 goals) in his rookie campaign during the 2023-24 season.

It is no surprise that the Bedard Young Guns out of Upper Deck 2023-24 Series Two Hockey was the hockey card graded most by PSA in 2024. 

The Bedard effect is real. There are just over 12,000 PSA 9 and PSA 10 Bedard Young Guns. To compare, Connor McDavid has just over 5,000 PSA 9 and PSA 10 Young Guns. 

Upper Deck 2015-16 Series One Hockey was released Nov. 5, 2015. Bedard's PSA graded Young Guns have more than doubled McDavid's Young Guns in eight months.

Happy hunting and collecting!
