Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/26/2021
The image of a very special player, Evgeni Malkin, and an early autograph penned by the Penguins’ star combine on the unique and alluring production from “The Cup” highlighting this pair, with 2006-07 being the season that Malkin arrived on the NHL scene and was named the winner of the Calder Trophy as top rookie. Just two years later, “Geno” was instrumental in Pittsburgh’s Stanley Cup triumph, winning the scoring championship and then the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP – sweet. With a “1/1” hologram on the back, the card recently received a mark of 7.5 NEAR MINT+ from Beckett, with the following sub grades also on the label: Centering 8.5, Corners 7, Edges 9 and Surface 9, while the “10” autograph grade is on the back of the label. The Auto Rookie Masterpiece is joined by a dandy non-encapsulated bonus, also from the same season as Evgeni’s rookie cards, with his signature penned to a piece of a patch on a Scripted Swatches card, also from The Cup and serial-numbered “08/25” on the front. A couple of minuscule corner touches are observed, while no scratches are detected in the Beckett holder of the “masterpiece”.
