2005-2006 Upper Deck The Cup Rookie Patch Autographs /99 – Sidney Crosby & Alexander Ovechkin.

Remembering a time when I saw these two cards in person at the Spring Expo in Toronto.

A sealed tin of 2005-2006 Upper Deck The Cup.Throwback to the 2019 Toronto Spring Expo when I saw these two cards side-by-side. Such a cool moment!

I remember when these came out in 2005-06 and the initial buzz around these cards, especially the Crosby. The Gold parallel versions (Sid’s is #/87 and Ovi #/8) are super nice, but I think the regular RPA’s are more iconic. The Cup was the first super high-end product in the hockey card industry at the time.

What’s the coolest or most expensive card(s) you’ve seen in-person?
