About this card

David Pastrňák’s 2014 Upper Deck Hockey card is number 495 in that release, in the Young Guns edition. Upper Deck has made NHL cards since 1990-91, and its Series 1 and Series 2 sets are the league’s flagship release. In modern sets, rookies appear as Young Guns, a short-printed subset with its own design, and Young Guns are among the most collected modern hockey cards.

The catalog labels this a rookie card, based on the source cited below.

How to identify it

Young Guns sit inside the main numbering, so a number alone does not tell you whether a card is a Young Gun; look for the Young Guns banner. Parallels such as Exclusives and High Gloss share the number but are serial-numbered or differently finished.

Young Guns is part of this card’s name: it marks an insert or parallel inside Upper Deck Hockey, and the number on its own can point to a different card.

The issue stays 2014 · Upper Deck Hockey — Young Guns. These are research checks, not a condition assessment of a specimen.

Raw / ungraded

Match the issue: Match the full year or season, release, number and named edition to this reference. Ask for readable images of the actual item’s front and back.
Record visible condition: Inspect corners, edges, centering and surface in suitable photographs or in person. Record damage or unanswered questions without assigning a predicted professional grade.
Keep authentication separate: Ungraded does not establish authenticity or mean “never authenticated.” A protective case alone does not establish a professional condition grade.

Professionally graded

Read the complete label: Record the grading company, exact issue, card grade and any qualifiers or designation. Keep an autograph grade separate from the card’s condition grade. An authentication-only designation may have no numeric condition grade.
Compare the certification record: Use the company’s official lookup and compare its issue details and available images with the actual item, label and holder. A matching certification number alone does not establish that an offered item is genuine.
Compare within the stated scale: Retain the company’s exact grade name and number. Different companies and grade designations are not automatically equivalent; a numeric label does not establish a current price.

A source-linked reference or historical scan does not authenticate the card you are considering. CardRoster supplies no assigned grade, certification or price for it.
