When I started my Viktor Arvidsson collection, one of the cards I knew I wanted to have relatively soon was his Upper Deck Young Guns rookie. It seems like most collectors would agree that it and maybe the SPA Future Watch are the two key rookie cards to have.
Considering this is only my third new Arvidsson post on here since I started this, I would say this is soon enough for me to have a copy. The best part is I was able to find a great deal on eBay from a local seller. This one only ended up costing me $2 including shipping.
Here is card #222 in the 2015-16 version of the flagship Upper Deck set.
I actually really like the look of this Young Guns set. While the design at the bottom lacks any bright colors, it looks great and doesn't distract from the rest of the card above it.
Now I just need to work on finding the Silver Foil, UD Exclusives, High Gloss, Canvas and Acetate versions to complete the Young Guns rainbow. Some of those will definitely be hard to find. So far I've only see copies of the Canvas version for sale.
$2 for YG rookie card of a guy who routinely scores 30 goals every season? I'd say you got a great deal.
ReplyDeleteNice deal. I had the complete set of 2015-16 UD but sold it recently to buy some vintage baseball. Kinda wish I could have kept a few cards like this one.
