The recent arrival of 2015-16 Fleer Showcase hockey cards from Upper Deck included a mix of styles from the rich history of 1990s Fleer cards applied to the ice.
Like past years and other sports, the Precious Metal Gems cards have captured the attention of buyers on eBay with the card of Connor McDavid above fetching a pretty penny, despite not having one dollop of autograph ink or a jersey swatch anywhere on the card.
We all knew that Connor McDavid was going to be a big deal and we all knew his Young Guns Rookie Card from 2015-16 Upper Deck would be kind of a big deal, too.
But what about a perfect BGS Black label specimen? Well, one of these sold this week so we know how big it can get.
A perfect copy of a basketball legend’s Rookie Card reached legendary status on Saturday night in a sale via SCP Auctions.

After a recent interactive vote from collectors that helped decide its image, Upper Deck revealed the Young Guns Rookie Card for No. 1 draft pick Connor McDavid on Thursday.
Here’s how the card will look when it arrives in packs of 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 1 when it arrives in stores on Nov. 5.
