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, offered here is this complete set of Young Guns rookie cards from Upper Deck's Series 1 and Series 2 releases. Paced by the key first-year examples of Crosby and Ovechkin, both have been inspected and slabbed by Beckett where they were deemed worthy of GEM MINT 9.5 designations with subgrades of Centering 9.5, Corners 9.5, Edges 9 and Surface 9.5 displayed on the label Sid and subgrades of Centering 10, Corners 9, Edges 9.5 and Surface 9.5 over the label of Ovi. Both housed in Beckett holders that remain in excellent condition, the rest of the set includes the key cards of players like 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 with all remaining in EX-MT to NM condition or better and showing just light signs of wear to the corners and edges to make note of for accuracy. A fantastic complete set from one of the modern era's most important sets, don't miss out on these!
