This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/2/2023
Perhaps the best player in the National Hockey League and game of hockey in general from the start of his career until the arrival of Connor McDavid on the scene, Sidney Crosby has won everything that one can in their hockey career, highlighted by a trio of Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals. Offered here, is this collection of 2004-05 and 2005-06 ITG and other brand hockey cards of “Sid the Kid” totalling eleven (11). Starting with those that do not contain any embedded memorabilia which totals three, the trio includes a 2004-05 ITG Heroes and Prospects card of Sid that has been deemed worthy of a MINT 9 mark from Beckett. Pictured over the front in his QMJHL Rimouski uniform, subgrades on the label include Centering 10, Corners 8.5, Edges 9.5 and Surface 9. Other Heroes and Prospects cards with Sid seen still playing in the “Q” include another 2004-05 example as well as a 2005-06 “CHL Grad” offering with both in the condition range of EX-MT to NM or better. Now for the juicy stuff, we have non-holdered memorabilia cards of Crosby made by ITG including a 2005-06 ITG Used Sidney Crosby Series “Country of Orgin” card that contains a piece of his 2004 WJC Team Canada jersey and a piece of game-used stick, a 2005-06 ITG Sidney Crosby Series “Teammates” card containing pieces of jerseys worn by Crosby and Mario Lemieux and lastly, a 2006-07 ITG Used International Signature Series “International Rivals” card that displays pieces of jersey worn by Crosby while playing for Canada along with Al Montoya while playing with the Hartford Wolf Pack. Cards housed in ITG Ultimate Memorabilia holders include 2005-06 6th edition offerings in the form of an “Ultimate Double Memorabilia” card featuring pieces of Sid’s jersey and glove that is numbered “06/25” as well as an “Ultimate Future Stars” card numbered “10/25” that has a two-colour red and black jersey swatch embedded into it. Both cards display in the condition range of NM or better. Lastly, we have three (3) slabbed National Sports Authenticators custom cards that exhibit pieces of a jersey worn by Crosby. Limited to 87 total cards, #’s 64, 66 and 71 are present here with all three found in the scope of EX-MT to NM condition or better. All the holders included remain in good condition with light scratches seen over both sides of all.
