Upon the release of 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup, collectors flocked to hobby shops to chase Connor McDavid’s rookie cards in the high-end offering. As the top overall selection in the NHL Draft and an Upper Deck-exclusive signer, McDavid began his career with tremendous expectations, igniting interest not seen since The Cup’s 2005-06 premiere buoyed by Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby rookie patch autographs..
More than 50 cards throughout the 2015-16 The Cup product feature McDavid (excluding printing plates), but few are more coveted than this classic RPA /99. This card features a vibrant three-color swatch of Oilers jersey with plenty of eye-catching stitching. Simply put, when it comes to ultra modern hockey cards, this is one of the benchmarks.
This is one of three Gem Mint 10 copies of the card in the PSA registry. However, it's the only copy to receive a 10-grade autograph as well.
