Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/19/2023
The first National Hockey League season after a lockout that cancelled the year previous, the 2005-06 season was already special and was even more so due to the fact that it featured a rookie class that included the two most hyped up players since the likes of Gretzky and Lemieux going head-to-head in the form of Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin. Sending collectors into a frenzy for their cards that has lasted to this moment in time, the Young Guns rookie cards set from Upper Deck's Series 1 and Series 2 releases also included notable names such as Henrik Lundqvist, Dion Phaneuf, Corey Perry, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Zach Parise, Ryan Getzlaf, Max Talbot, Thomas Vanek, Jeff Carter, Jimmy Howard and Mikko Koivu as well as numerous others. Offered here, we present this 2005-06 Upper Deck Young Guns checklist card #242 that has been misprinted. Appearing at first glance like any of the other checklist examples picturing Crosby and Perry during their freshman season in the league, further inspection will reveal that the card is void of the foil player names, "Young Guns" title along the bottom and Upper Deck logo that is supposed to be in the bottom left corner. Existing in raw ungraded condition, the card remains in EX-MT to NM condition or better after inspection with no obvious flaws being observed with the naked eye. Don't miss out on this unique offering for your collection!
