Which Wyatt Johnston card is the real rookie card
Upper Deck holds the exclusive NHL and NHLPA license for physical trading cards, so all of his rookie cards are Upper Deck products. Johnston made the Stars out of camp in October 2022, and 2022-23 Series 1 did not carry him, so his Young Guns card is 2022-23 Upper Deck Series 2 No. 459 (with a UD Canvas Young Guns C218). His other widely listed rookie-year cards are O-Pee-Chee Platinum Marquee Rookies No. 294 with a Rookie Autographs card, and SP Authentic Future Watch autograph No. 146.

Graded Wyatt Johnston rookie cards: PSA 10, BGS and CGC
A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) or BGS 9.5 is the top grade most collectors look for; it means sharp corners, clean edges, centered printing and an unmarked surface. A graded card and a raw one are different cards to look up. How the four graders compare and what grading costs.
How PSA, CGC and Beckett grade
PSA
- Top grades:
- Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.
- Half grades:
- 1.5 through 8.5 since February 2008; there is no PSA 9.5.
One overall grade on the label. Centering weighs heavily in it.
CGC

- Pristine 10 (virtually flawless, 50/50 centering), then Gem Mint 10 and Mint+ 9.5.
- 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 Wyatt Johnston card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Wyatt Johnston 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 Wyatt Johnston rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
