Market outlook
Stable Outlook 4/10
The card’s value is driven more by player popularity than scarcity, and the promo-set supply remains large. Unless Suzuki’s on-ice profile increases substantially or grading interest grows, prices should remain near current low levels.[2][3][5]
Next months. Likely to remain in the low single-digit raw range with small fluctuations based on demand and grading supply.
Long term. Expected to stay a low-value common insert unless broader Nick Suzuki collecting demand increases or sealed product becomes meaningfully scarcer.
History
Nick Suzuki is a Canadian professional ice hockey player and alternate captain/leader for the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL. He was drafted 13th overall by Vegas in 2017, traded to Montreal as a major part of the Max Pacioretty deal, and became one of the Canadiens’ key young stars and a face of the franchise. His inclusion in Tim Hortons’ 2022 Superstar Showcase reflects his status as a prominent Canadian NHL player and marketable star.[1][4]
First released in the 2022 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Hockey promotion, with Beckett listing the set’s release date as October 3, 2022.[4] The Nick Suzuki card is #SS-15 in the Superstar Showcase insert subset.[1][4]
- SportsCardsPro identifies this as Nick Suzuki #SS-15 from the 2022 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Superstar Showcase and notes it is not a rookie card.[1]
- Beckett’s checklist shows the Tim Hortons set had 120 cards total and the Superstar Showcase subset was part of the 2022-23 Tim Hortons hockey release.[4]
- Marketplace listings and price guides show this card is common in the hobby marketplace, with low raw values typically around about $1 to $3 depending on seller and condition.[2][3][5]

Collector notes
Condition. Check for corner wear, edge chipping, surface scratches, and centering issues. Tim Hortons promo cards are often handled quickly in packs, so white edge wear and light surface scuffs are common even on pack-fresh copies.
Storage. Store in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, keep away from humidity and direct sunlight, and avoid stacking loose cards because promo cards can pick up edge wear easily.
Authenticity. Authentic copies should match the standard 2022-23 Tim Hortons SuperStar Showcase design and numbering (#SS-15). Compare print quality, font sharpness, and card stock with known authentic examples; suspiciously glossy, blurry, or oversized copies may indicate counterfeits or altered reprints.
