Selected first overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2023 NHL Draft, Connor Bedard entered the league with a level of hype not seen since McDavid. After two NHL seasons demonstrating elite offensive ability, his cards have settled into strong secondary market values — particularly high-grade rookie cards and short-print autographs. For Canadian collectors, Bedard cards represent the most exciting new pawn loan collateral in the hobby.

Bedard vs McDavid vs Crosby: The Rookie Card Comparison
The 2023-24 Bedard Young Guns PSA 10 at ~$5,000 compares to the 2015-16 McDavid Young Guns PSA 10 at ~$13,000 and the 2005-06 Crosby Young Guns PSA 10 at ~$15,000.
