$1,000,000 bounty offered for coveted Connor Bedard rookie card

Connor Bedard's Young Guns will be released this week, including the 1-of-1 Outburst Gold variant, which now has a $1,000,000 bounty on it from Dave and Adam's.

Upper Deck is getting ready to release its flagship Series Two product this week and it has the entire card-collecting community in a buzz.

This is one of the most highly collectible sets in hockey every year due to the popularity of the Young Guns rookie cards, featuring the best and brightest young rooks in the game.

This year, however, has more anticipation than ever before because of card #451—the Connor Bedard Young Guns.

There are over 20 different Bedard rookie cards available in Series Two, but none will be more coveted than the 1-of-1 Outburst Gold Young Guns variant, which just had the bounty set at $1,000,000 (USD) by Dave and Adam's Card World.

Dave and Adam's have been a leader in the collectibles industry for over 30 years and are known to post outrageously high bounties on highly sought-after sports cards and collectibles.

There is one catch, however.

“The card must be in good condition. That’s right, no damage like dents, dings, creases, or scrapes. It should look like it would grade a 9,” Dave and Adams wrote on their website.

There’s a good chance this card will come out of the factory looking like a PSA 9 worthy card, but boy it would be an absolute shame if the 1-of-1 gets pulled and doesn’t meet the criteria.

The set releases on Wednesday, March 6^th, and boxes are retailing for $329 Canadian at most hobby shops. That price is an increase of 106% from a Series One hobby box. That caused a stir amongst the collecting community, but I suppose this million-dollar bounty makes the cost a bit more digestible. It’s almost like a lottery ticket now.

Will you be opening a box of Series Two this week and joining the hunt for the coveted Bedard 1-of-1?
