2005-06 Upper Deck Victory Rookies Alexander Ovechkin #264 RC

This is the 2005-06 Upper Deck Victory Rookies Alexander Ovechkin #264 RC — a certified rookie card of the greatest goal scorer in NHL history, issued during the very season that announced him to the world.

Selected first overall by the Washington Capitals in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Ovechkin captured the Calder Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year in 2005-06 and finished third overall in league scoring.

He was also named to the NHL First All-Star Team — the first rookie to receive that honor in 15 years.
