Hockey fans sure seemed to enjoy the 2009-10 NHL Be-A-Player product Upper Deck released over the summer. Boasting one autograph card in every pack, there was plenty to get excited about. Additionally 2009-10 NHL Be-A-Player had rookie cards from the current season live in packs, but also offered collectors the chance of pulling a rookie exchange card for a rookie from the upcoming 2010-11 NHL season.
The NHL prohibits trading card manufacturers from releasing rookie cards of players before they have skated in an official NHL game, so including these rookie exchange cards is a great way to add some additional value to the product while also creating excitement for the upcoming season. It’s important to us to allow enough time for this new rookie crop to skate and for some late call-ups before we finalize the checklist and begin production on these cards as we want to have a strong checklist.
We have taken the necessary time to allow for a strong checklist for these rookie exchange cards and we are very happy to share that list with you now. Below is the final rookie exchange checklist for 2009-10 NHL Be-A-Player:
