Q3What are the key rookie cards to chase?
Alexis Lafreniere and Kirill Kaprizov are among the marquee 2020-21 rookies featured in Ultimate Introductions and Ultimate Rookies Autos. Both have multiple autograph parallels including rare 1/1 Purple versions. The Ultimate Rookies Autos subset contains 100 true rookies, many autographed and numbered to 299 or 99.

The 200-card base set splits into Veterans (#1-75, /149), Legends (#76-100, /99), and Rookies (#101-200, /299 or /99). Veterans and Legends have Gold (/35) and Onyx Black (/5) parallels, plus autograph versions. Rookies come with Auto Patch (/99 or /49), Jumbo Auto Patch (/15), and 1/1 Shield Auto Patch variants.
Q5What's the difference between Ultimate Introductions and Ultimate Rookies Autos?
