The first round draft pick of the Washington Capitals in 2004 at 1st overall, Alex Ovechkin finally brought the franchise their first Stanley Cup championship in 2018 and now finds himself less than 100 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal scoring mark. Up for grabs here, an sure to pique the interest of all collectors looking to buy into the Ovechkin hype, is this collection of ten (10) cards featuring the Russian born sniper dating between 2004-05 and 2006-07. Led by a precarious 2004 Fall Expo “1/1” that comes to us from ITG’s 2004-05 Heroes and Prospects release, Ovi is pictured over the front in Russian National Team uniform with a foil “1/1” designation found over the bottom right corner. A blue coloured piece of jersey worn by Alex has been embedded into the card which is found to be in the condition range of NM with just very light edge wear observed. Of the remaining nine (9) included cards, five (5) are RC’s include 2005-06 Upper Deck releases from Victory (x2 – one with a long fold line along the top edge as well as light surface, edge and corner wear that is seen as being in EX range while the other shows just light edge and surface wear and is closer to the vicinity of EX-MT), Beehive (Red parallel – EX-MT to NM range), Fleer Ultra (Small crease/ding at the upper right corner with other light corner wear also exhibited, remains in the condition scope of EX-MT) and Rookie Class (Graded Gem MT 10 by GMA). The last four cards include two different 2005-06 ITG Heroes and Prospects base cards showing Ovi in his Russian uniform, a 2006-07 Upper Deck Power Play base card and a 2006-07 Fleer Ultra “Scoring Kings” insert with all four remaining in EX-MT to NM condition or better. The GMA holder remains in good condition with just light scratches/scuffs over each side.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by GMA 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.
