In this story:

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard sent collectors into a frenzy for much of last year with his Young Guns card.

Bedard, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL draft, has been called a once-in-a-generation talent. At the same time, his rookie cards soared in value. Bedard's base Young Guns card rose to nearly $1,200 last March when it was released as part as Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey.

Within months, the price dropped and eventually settled into the $300 to $500 range. In the process, Bedard was awarded the Calder trophy as the NHL's top rookie last season.

The hype around Bedard has kept his rookie year cards out of reach for most collectors. Nonetheless, there are plenty of option for those looking to add a Bedard first year card to their collection.

A look at eBay listings reveals that there are plenty of cheaper options. Some of them are even as cheap as $5.

You won't score a his Young Guns card for that little, but there are plenty of other Upper Deck-isused rookie cards featuring Bedard to be had.
