Robbie Logan, part-owner of RAD Cards and Collectibles, predicts that Bedard's Young Guns card will be the most sought-after rookie card of the year.
The Upper Deck Series One collection has already featured a Connor Bedard card, but collectors are eagerly waiting for his Young Guns card in Series Two on February 28th.
Increased interest in hockey cards in recent years, partly due to the pandemic, has led to higher demand and prices. Bedard's cards are gaining attention and fetching prices that surpass those of established stars like Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid.
Bedard's SP One card has been listed for over $10,000 on eBay, with collectors valuing the rarity and quality of the card.
Cards can be graded for quality on a scale up to 10 by companies like Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), and the highest-quality cards are fetching five-figure prices.
Dave Logan, part-owner of Rad Cards and Collectibles, notes that the challenge of obtaining a PSA 10 grade for Bedard's cards is due to factors like centring and potential chipping, particularly with foil elements.
Despite the digital age, the thrill of opening a physical pack of hockey cards remains timeless.
Robbie Logan emphasizes the joy of physically holding a card, a sentiment shared by collectors who appreciate the tangible experience.
As excitement around hockey cards, especially Bedard's rookie card, continues to grow, collectors are eager to secure these prized possessions and engage in the traditional thrill of opening packs to find their desired cards.
The anticipation builds as fans await the release of the highly coveted Connor Bedard Young Guns card, creating a buzz in the trading card community.
