Most 2013-14 Upper Deck The Cup Rookie Auto Patch cards numbered to 249, although the final six are limited to 99. Actually, to get really precise, Nathan MacKinnon has just 98. Upper Deck didn't insert one of the cards due to a smudged signature. These short prints represent some of the most desirable players in the set. Besides MacKinnon, Tomas Hertl, Alex Galchenyuk and Sean Monahan are among those that are the toughest to get.
That said, there are several standouts and top prospects that are more readily available. Aleksander Barkov and Seth Jones are a couple of the names that fall under this category.
Every box of The Cup promises on Rookie Auto Patch card. However, with each single-pack box costing around $500 at its time of release, this isn't a set that's necessarily for collectors on a modest budget. But the ultra-premium appeal leads to some high prices. Each of the first three 2013-14 Upper Deck The Cup Nathan MacKinnons to sell on eBay topped $3,000. Galchenyuk and Hertl also topped four-figures consistently out of the gate.
