The 1st overall selection at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins, Sidney Crosby was being dubbed “The Next One” even before he came into the league and has gone on to lead the Penguins to three Stanley Cups in four trips to the Finals over the course of his career. Up for grabs here from his rookie campaign of 2005-06, is this trio of Crosby rookie offerings include those from SP Game Used, Black Diamond and Fleer Ultra. Starting with the SP Game Used example, serial numbered “077/999” at the lower right hand corner, the surface remains smooth and clean while the edges and corners show light wear with the heaviest being at the top left point in the form of a light ding, dropping the card down to the condition range of EX-MT in our opinion. For the UD Black Diamond “Rookie Gems” card, sporting a shimmery front with a “quad diamond” designation under his name at the bottom, the write up on the back tells the tale of Sid notching five (5) assists in his first four (4) NHL games. With light wear to the corners being the only flaw observed with the naked eye after inspection, we put the card once again in the range of EX-MT to NM. Rounding out the trio, Sid’s Fleer Ultra rookie is included, picturing the phenom with a Sher-Wood stick in hand and a baby face, the card shows wear to the corners and edges over both sides, putting the desirable cardboard in the proximity of EX-MT condtion.
