Sidney Crosby’s right hand man since he entered the league beginning with the 2006-07 season, the Pittsburgh Penguins 1st round draft pick in 2004, 2nd overall, has helped lead the Penguins to a trio of Stanley Cup championships throughout his 17-year NHL career. Offered here, is this collection of Evgeni Malkin cards totaling thirty-four (34) that date between 2004-05 and 2008-09. Consisting of both base and insert cards from brands such as Upper Deck, O-Pee-Chee, ITG, Fleer and others with Malkin pictured in both his Russian National Team and Pittsburgh uniforms over the front, the notable cards total eight (8) and is led off with a copy of Malkin’s Young Guns rookie card from 2006-07 Upper Deck Series Two that remains in the condition range of EX-MT to NM in our opinion after inspection while another RC that is present is that of Malkin’s 2006-07 UD SP Game-Used “Authentic Rookies” card that is serial numbered “532/999” over the front and remains in a similar condition range. For the memorabilia cards, all containing pieces of jersey worn by Malkin, the group of four (4) includes a 2006-07 In The Game Used International Ice Signature Series “International Rivals” card featuring Malkin in his Team Russia uniform and Justin Pogge of Team Canada. A silver version with only 50 made as indicated on the reverse, the front sports swatches of jersey worn by each player while the card is in the vicinity of EX-MT condition or better.

The first two cards display in the condition scope of EX-MT to NM or better while the Malkin/Ovechkin offering is around the range of EX-MT. For autographed cards, a 2006-07 Upper Deck Sweet Shot “Signature Shots” card, sporting Malkin’s fine blue ink signature over an embedded puck at the right side is included, as is a 2006-07 Upper Deck The Cup “Honorable Numbers” offering that is numbered “24/71” at the bottom right. Featuring a similar fine blue ink signature penned directly to the card at the bottom, two beautiful pieces of patch cut from a Penguins jersey worn by the Russian star have been embedded above. Condition wise, the “Signature Shots” card is found in the range of EX-MT while the “Honorable Numbers” card is closer to the scope of EX to EX-MT with some edge and corner wear.
