Upper Deck Celebrates 25 Years of Upper Deck Hockey with Special Young Guns Promotional Set

Fans at the 2014 Fall Sportscard & Memorabilia Expo had a ball with all the different giveaways that Upper Deck had going on. One of the more unique card sets Upper Deck created was the Young Guns Tribute cards of standout players who never had a Young Guns rookie card. The cool thing about the cards is that it showed the athletes in their rookie seasons and with ten different versions to collect, it was exciting for collectors to try to put together the set or capture their favorite player’s card. These cards will also be available through Upper Deck Authorized Internet Retailers and Authorized Group Breakers in the future.

There will be fifteen more cards released as well that fans should be on the lookout for bringing the total amount of cards in the set to 25. Below is a breakdown on all the cards that will be in the set and how you can get them!
