Zegras and Bedard with Mctavish or Terry would be a crazy good line.

What is your guess on the release day price of Bedard YG? 1K?

Inferno · 01-03-2023, 07:27 PM

Yeah I’d be alright with him going to Anaheim. Lots of promising young players there.

For maximum hobby chaos Montreal would be the obvious answer. Take the Caufield hype and multiply it by 100. As a Leafs fan though I can’t support it.

No way. McDavid was $200-300 at release. Bedard will probably be around the same depending on what market he goes to. Maybe $400.

No YG is going to touch $1k out of the gate. Way too much fresh supply and absorption is only just beginning. The very first PSA 10’s might hit $1k but if you think Kaprizov’s pop exploded just wait until Bedard soaks in. He might end up with more printed and graded than McDavid.

The pop for Bedard will be close to Zion Prizm numbers. I know I will rip some, but rip and sell would probably be a good idea. The fact nothing of him will be out until 2024, but those XRC redemptions for Artifact will be crazy.

McDavid was at a time when the hockey market was not as hot as it is now, especially in the USA. I think he will touch $500 out the gate.

A few people were paying 400 raw for Labustiere off the bat, lol. If he goes to Montreal/Chicago, I can see 4-500 off the bat, 2-300 if he goes to a smaller market. This stuff will be printed to oblivion though.

Buddy of mine got his 20-21 Pats team issued cards graded. 3 BGS 10's and a bunch of 9.5's. Just sold one 10 and two 9.5's on ebay last night for a combined $5400~. If you have anything Bedard in your collection right now, I'd recommend selling ASAP.

NotGoSportsBall · 01-04-2023, 08:59 AM

Anything CHL always goes down in price the second the first YG hits eBay. Happened with McDavid, Laffy, Svechnikov.. People will by CHL because they’re desperate to have a player in hand but as an investment, holding CHL cards long term is like buying into breaks to get out of debt.

If for some strange reason it hits this just buy hobby cases or retail you would make a killing. The fact it will be so overproduced I don't see it happening though.

kellmuff · 01-04-2023, 11:21 AM

I bought his Team Canada high gloss in March for $300 knowing that this tournament would see a crazy return. Sold for $1200 within 5 min of the goal the other night

kellmuff · 01-04-2023, 11:23 AM

also, does Matthews get tempted by Arizona if they win the lottery and get Bedard

This is what makes me believe his YG will hit a $1,000 right out of the gate too.
Been watching quite a few and they are moving fast and for some big bucks.
I purchased one not that long ago, a Team Canada card, which I'm sure, if I wanted to, could easily double my money now.

Big game tonight! Hoping Canada prevails but we have to start winning some faceoffs and our defense needs to step it up big time too!

The hobby was different in 15-16 compared to now. Lafreniere's YG was reaching $400~ immediately after release. I'm confident that Bedard's will go for a minimum of $500 right off the hop.

Only question is, does he get into Series 1? The last two years it hasn't happened. Can Upper Deck get Series 1 out on time, WITH Bedard in it? Or are they forced to wait until Series 2 again? If Bedard explodes out of the gate next year and he's clearly on track to win the Calder, AND he's held until Series 2? It'll go for even more.

CalderCityCards · 01-04-2023, 01:14 PM

I'm not sure he'll come in at $1k although I do think $500-700 isn't unlikely, but it is worth noting that McDavid got injured right before 2015-16 S1 released, which I think made the difference in him coming out at $200-300ea vs. $300-500ea

It's anyone's guess but judging by these recent sales I don't think they are going to be cheap?

Has the Sports Card Infester advised purchasing crummy Regina Pats and Team Canada cards for your future retirement portfolio yet? lol.

Looks like I'll only be able to afford stuff like its OPC Platinum basic rookie if he gets with the Habs.

Maybe this is the start of a new trend?

When the thousands upon thousands of his rookie cards hit the market, including the manufactured scare 1 of 1's, 1 of 10's, 1 of 25's, etc, every swinging dick is going to own one.
With these Team Canada and Pats cards, what you see now is all there is, all there will be, and those numbers pale greatly compared to what is coming.

Just look at how many McDavid cards are out there. The amount of Bedard's cards will make McDavid's look like hardly any from any manufacturer were produced.

kellmuff · 01-05-2023, 09:17 AM

I cant see any scenario where he isnt in Series 1. He's too big of a prospect. They'll do the off ice photo shoots like Laffy if they have to.

Great. Another air-brushed crestless jersey pic posed in the ever popular head's up and stick on the ice static position.
Or maybe a Ben Stiller-esque Magnum shot from Zoolander?

Soxrule111 · 01-05-2023, 01:28 PM

I just fear that in 10 Months from Now, no one will care about this tournament when the YGs come out, and prices will fall drastically from expectations. Id say track those Canada Cards, I be Opening Night next season they are selling for 50% of what they are today.

Could be wrong, but Ill be excited to watch him in Chicago for years

DontToewsMeBro · 01-05-2023, 01:35 PM

I'll be going through a few blasters and/or hangers searching for Bedard's YG. That's if I can find any.

I'm 100% sure his Team Canada and Regina Pats cards will plummet once he gets NHL cards, hence why I sold my Regina cards. You can get Crosby Rimouski Oceanic cards for $20. Anyone buying Pats team cards at these prices are nuts.
