About this listen
Welcome back to The Top Shelf Cookie Sniper Hockey Show! — where the takes are sharp, the corners are soft, and unlike some Young Guns… we’re always well-centered.
In Episode 105, we’re diving stick-first into Upper Deck’s quality control — or as some collectors call it, “quality roulette.” We’re talking roller marks, off-centering, dinged corners, and cards that look like they went a few rounds with Ryan Reaves.
But it’s not all rough edges — we’re also breaking down the real Gem Rates on Young Guns rookies. Is grading still a smart play? Or are PSA 10s becoming rarer than a clean bench in a Battle of Alberta?
So, grab your sleeves, prep your magnifiers, and pray for sharp corners — it’s time to find out if your next Young Gun is bound for glory... or destined for the dollar bin.
Let’s rip into it.
