Wanted to share something weirdly wonderful with the community. I got an Ovechkin bootleg from Upper Deck Series One a while back in a break hosted by Maritime Sports Cards, who I’m convinced runs the best breaks and may possess secret card-pulling powers. This card has been hanging out in my collection for a bit, just waiting for its time to shine, so here it is.

Anyone else out there hit a bootleg from this release? Let me know if you’ve got one hidden away and which bootleg design makes you laugh the most. Bonus points if your card looks like it was cooked up in Microsoft Paint at 2 a.m. Can’t wait to see the unique treasures people have found!

Before the goals, the records, the legacy — there was this card.

From the 2006-07 Ultimate Memorabilia 7th Edition, this stunning printed art card features Alexander Ovechkin illustrated by Madden in a bold, painterly style. It captures the intensity and promise of a young Ovi just entering his prime.

Consigned and up for grabs.

For those who collect not just the player — but the moment in time.

A beauty for the leader goal scorer 25/25 Eagle

Grabbed 2 packs of the Upper Deck Tim Hortons cards this morning, managed to pull a rare card in each pack (worth approx $75-$100 each).
