The card collector's view

Crosby's flagship rookie is the 2005-06 Upper Deck Young Guns, one of the most-chased modern NHL rookies in the hobby and the cornerstone of any Penguins collection. His autograph rookies from The Cup, SP Authentic Future Watch, and Ultimate Collection are the high-end chases. Twenty years of Upper Deck flagship base cards give Pittsburgh gift-givers accessible options at every price point.
