The 4-Nations Face-Off produced memories that will last a lifetime for players and viewers. Did those memories lead to increased values in trading cards for tournament standouts Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, Jordan Binnington, Matthew Tkachuk, and Brady Tkachuk?

McDavid produced the golden goal for Team Canada in overtime of the championship game. While McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers came up short in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, McDavid was not to be denied in the 4-Nations Face-Off championship game.

McDavid’s Upper Deck 2015-16 Young Guns PSA 10 is showing a gain of approximately $600 over the last 14 days. Makes you wonder what happens when, or if, McDavid wins his first Stanley Cup.

Big Gain For Jack Eichel

Eichel was comfortable on the biggest hockey stage of his career. The second pick of the 2015 NHL entry draft, behind McDavid, was a plus-3 with four assists in the 4-Nations Face-Off. Eichel’s 200-foot game was on display as well.

The tournament was kind for Eichel, his Upper Deck 2015-16 Young Guns PSA 10 saw a 20% gain in value.

Jordan Binnington Young Guns Trading Heavily on eBay

Prior to Feb. 20, 2025, Binnington Young Guns were trading at an extremely low volume. Most days saw one or two of his Young Guns sold on eBay with many days featuring none of his Young Guns being sold.

Feb 20, 2025 changed that.

Binnington Young Guns sold for the $40 USD range before the 4-Nations Face-Off championship game.  An immaculate overtime performance in the 4-Nations Face-Off led to 11 sales of Binnington’s Young Guns with a highest raw sale of $88 USD.

Global Stage Kind to Tkachuk Brothers

Matthew and Brady Tkachuk stole the show for Team USA. When they were on the ice, you knew it. When they were on the ice, the opposition knew it as well.

Physical play, fights, and timely scoring led to the Tkachuk brothers being two of the most talked about players of the 4-Nations Face-Off.

As expected, the Tkachuk Brothers saw noticeable increases in their Young Guns hockey card values. The Tkachuk Brothers saw increases in the 30% range in their Young Guns.

Could next year’s Winter Olympics drive a greater increase than the 4-Nation’s Faceoff?

Happy hunting and collecting!
