The card collector's view

Yzerman's rookie card is the 1984-85 O-Pee-Chee #67 — the Canadian-market base and the most desirable Yzerman card in the hobby, with high-grade copies driving strong auction prices. The 1984-85 Topps #49 is the US-market parallel. O-Pee-Chee and Topps releases from 1985-2006 cover his Detroit captaincy and championship runs. Modern Upper Deck SP Authentic, The Cup, and retrospective Red Wings sets offer signed and patch options for the Stevie Y collection.

About Steve Yzerman at FreshDCards

Steve Yzerman captained the Detroit Red Wings for 20 seasons — the longest captaincy in NHL history — and he started doing it at 21. His scoring was incandescent in the late 80s (155 points in 1988-89), then Scotty Bowman asked him to play two-way hockey, and Yzerman won three Stanley Cups (1997, 1998, 2002) and the 2000 Selke as the league's top defensive forward. He retired in 2006, ran the Tampa Bay Lightning to a championship as GM, and is back in Detroit running the team that ran him.
