Which Mark Stone card is the real rookie card

He debuted for Ottawa in the 2012 playoffs, and his rookie cards are 2012-13 Upper Deck issues. 2012-13 was a lockout year in which Upper Deck cancelled Series 2, so his Young Guns card (#239) and UD Canvas Young Guns card (C111) are both in 2012-13 Upper Deck Series 1. His SP Authentic Future Watch autograph is #229, numbered to 999. Wikipedia counts 2014-15 as his Calder-eligible rookie season, but his rookie cards are dated 2012-13.

How to identify your Mark Stone card and check what it sold for

  1. Find the year and maker on the back of your Mark Stone 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.
