Which Jack Hughes card is the real rookie card

Upper Deck holds the 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 2019-20 Upper Deck Series 1 No. 201, and Series 1 also has the No. 250 Young Guns checklist card he shares with his brother Quinn. SP Authentic Future Watch, The Cup Rookie Auto Patch and O-Pee-Chee Platinum Marquee Rookies are his other widely listed rookie-year cards. Collectors searching his name should not mix his cards up with those of brothers Quinn and Luke Hughes.

Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.

How to identify your Jack Hughes card and check what it sold for

  1. Find the year and maker on the back of your Jack Hughes card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
  5. 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.
