This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/2/2023
Owning a trophy case that includes a trio Stanley Cup championships, two Olympic gold medals, a World Cup of Hockey championship, a World Junior Championship gold medal, two Conn Smythe Trophy’s, two Art Ross Trophy’s, two Hart Trophy’s and numerous other awards and accolades, it’s easy to see why Sidney Crosby is regarded as the best player of his generation. Offered here, is this collection of twenty-three hockey cards of “Sid the Kid” that date between 2005-06 to 2007-08. Headlined at least size wise by a 2005-06 Upper Deck Beehive oversided card that displays in the condition range of EX-MT to NM with just light wear to the top left corner, additional RC’s of the then young phenom total seven (7) and include issues of from Upper Deck’s Parkhurst (EX-MT to NM), Victory (x2 – one around EX-MT to NM while the other is EX to EX-MT due to a corner ding at the top right), Rookie Class (Graded GMA Gem MT 10), Diecast (Graded GEM Grading Inc. GEM Mint 10), McDonald (EX to EX-MT with corner and edge wear/damage) and Rookie Showdown (EX-MT to NM – motion card with Ovechkin - light surface wear). Memorabilia cards featuring swatches of jerseys once donned by Crosby are also present including a 2005-06 ITG Heroes and Prospects “Game-Used Jersey” offering that pictures Sid during his time with Rimouski in the “Q” and sports a piece of his 2004 World Junior jersey according to the back of the back (EX-MT to NM) as well a 2005-06 Upper Deck Beehive “Matted Materials” jersey card that shows a single white jersey swatch over the front. Condition issues are present with the card including paper loss at the bottom corners and a fold to the right of the jersey piece along with the typical edge and corner wear. The last memorabilia card included is that of a 2007-08 Upper Deck SPx “Winning Combos” dual jersey of both Crosby and Evgeni Malkin that is found to be in the range of EX-MT to NM condition after inspection and showing light corner wear/dings. The last cards of the group hail from both 2005-06 and 2006-07 and are all a mix of base cards or low end inserts that largely remain in a condition vicinity of EX-MT to NM. The holders the graded cards are in remain in good condition with just light scratches/scuffs observed over each side.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by GMA and GEM may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this piece through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
