Which Connor Bedard card is the real rookie card
Upper Deck holds the exclusive NHL and NHLPA license for physical trading cards, so his licensed NHL rookie cards are Upper Deck products, including O-Pee-Chee. His Young Guns rookie card is 2023-24 Upper Deck Series 2 No. 451; he had no Young Guns card in Series 1 because he had not yet played an NHL game when it was made. SP Authentic Future Watch, The Cup Rookie Auto Patch and O-Pee-Chee Platinum Marquee Rookies are his other widely listed rookie-year cards.

PSA
- Top grades:
- Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.

- Half grades:
- Yes, from Fair 1.5 up to Mint+ 9.5.
Authentic (AU) for a genuine card that cannot take a number; Authentic Altered (AA) for one that was altered.

How to identify your Connor Bedard card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Connor Bedard card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
- Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
- Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
- Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
- Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.
Check Connor Bedard rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
