Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2020

Hockey’s most prolific and feared goal-scorer the past 15 seasons and an eight-time winner of the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy, Alex Ovechkin stars here on this tempting Upper Deck production, issued during his initial NHL season, which was also the first for “The Cup”. What a start for both, with “Alexander” firing 52 goals and totaling 106 points to garner the Calder Memorial Trophy as rookie-of-the-year. The impressive Ovechkin rookie card offered features a perfect blue ink autograph, (indeed graded “10” on the back of the Beckett label), between Ovie’s image and a nifty three-color swatch. The back of the card informs that the latter is “an authentic piece of a patch from a jersey worn by Alexander Ovechkin in an official NHL game.” The delectable card merited MINT 9 status at Beckett, with the following sub grades: Centering 8.5, Corners 9, Edges 9.5, Surface 9.5. The company’s population report informs that out of the 95 Ovechkin The Cup RCs to have been assessed by the firm as of this writing, just 16 scored higher, at 9.5, than this Pop 39. Additional numbers to contemplate are Alex’s eight 50-plus goal seasons and his 700-plus career total – and he’s not done yet – there’s still heaps of potential for both The Great 8 and this formidable rookie card!
