Martin St. Louis’ rookie card is in the 1998 Upper Deck set. Throughout the years, he has been fantastic to fans and quickly responds to fan mail. However, I never had any luck getting him to add any inscriptions so I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it into a paid signing.
Currently there are only 6 autographed 1998 Upper Deck Martin St. Louis rookie cards in the PSA registry.
