FUTURE WATCH AUTOGRAPHS
CLICK ON THE CARDS BELOW FOR A SUPER-SIZED VIEW
One of my most looked-forward to releases each year is Upper Deck SP Authentic. Chief among its many highlights is the Future Watch subset comprised of hard-signed on-card autographs of the NHL's top rookies. These cards are serial-numbered out of 999 and generally considered amongst the most desirable rookie cards available, chased by set builders, rookie card collectors and autograph hounds alike. Like recent Future Watch Autograph releases this is a skip-numbered set, with the following seven non-autographed Future Watch cards interspersed throughout the subset: 126 Kasperi Kapanen, 164 Troy Stecher, 171 Denis Malgin, 174 Stephen Jones, 175 Nick Schmaltz, 177 Artturi Lehkonen, and 179 Zach Sanford. Scans of these cards have not been included as this is an autograph-centric collection. Subsequently, Upper Deck has released autographed versions of these cards for the following players: 164a Julius Honka, and 177a Artturi Lehkonen (both included with 2017-18 Upper Deck SP Authentic). Placeholders have been created for the other five cards as they may have autographed versions released in future sets. SET STATUS: ACTIVE PROJECT (98.7 Percent Complete with 74 of 75 Cards).
