Part of the rookie class that featured players such as Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby as well 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 among numerous others, 2004 6th overall pick, Al Montoya, would play in 168 games over the course of his NHL career and be featured as card #455 in Upper Deck's 2005-06 Series Two release with the cardboard serving as his Young Guns rookie card. A true obscurity, offered here is this misprinted Montoya Young Guns that features that image of Alex Ovechkin's first-year card over the front instead. Still displaying Montoya's name in silver foil near the bottom with the reverse the one typically depicted on a Montoya example, the miscut front shows the young Russian born sniper instead. Having been graded as "Authentic" by KSA, the company has added "Alexander Ovechkin Front Error" to the bottom of their label at the top of the holder. Appearing to be in the condition range of EX-MT to NM or better, the holder the card is housed in remains in excellent condition with light scratches and scuffs to report over both sides for accuracy.
