Series 2 Retro Acetate YG

[penfield]

Apparently there is an unannounced insert - acetate versions of older yg - anyone have details on this?

450Sports pulled a Doughty and a Kessel out of about 20 cases. I've seen the scans!

Very cool! Hope to see a Linden or Bure as part of this

Yep, so far saw the Doughty & Kessel on Facebook. They look pretty cool.

Linden would be interesting;I know there's the 25th anniversary version but his RC was 1989-90 IIRC.

Haven't heard about this, but it sounds cool. I'd love to see some scans. Seems like a great concept.

Correct! That 25th anniversary YG definitely doesn't count imo. The pic used wasn't even from his RC year. I was so disappointed in that release.

There are also redemptions for complete OPC Update Black Bordered Rainbow Foil sets (50 cards)

About 1 per 10 cases? They look pretty cool, but man are those long odds.

Snagged some pics from FB for you guys curious about these and how they look.

Pretty cool little easter egg by UD on this one, I must say.

 

[cburt]

Sweet! Thanks for those scans Mooche.

I pulled a P.K. Subban out of my 3 cases, but unfortunately its missing the top left corner. :|

Looks like these have been inserted as opposed to the acetate young guns they have done the past few years. I like this idea, as they already do the clear cut acetate young guns, so doing the retro ones are way better!

Well done upper deck. Interested in seeing what pops up from this

 

[creasecollector]

Man, these look excellent. A must for collectors of these players I think. Hats off to UD on this one!

 

[lucscaps]

Have seen a Kane, Kessel, Doughty, Stamkos so far

Props to Upper Deck on this one. Very cool.


Edit: Doughty, also from Facebook...

 

[odjickfan]

It will probably be the best insert set of the year!

With these and the addition of the Fluorescence series I'm loving this years S2.

Will the hobby consider these to be Rookie Cards?

For me I’m honestly not sure. I’m sure they say 17-18 on the back so probably not but will the RC Collectors and the rainbow collectors want one?
