Crosby cards!!

[bsilentassassin]

Ok crosby collectors ive been doing research (nostly off ebay sales through the years) and outside of rookie year 1 of 1s there seems to be four distinct Crosby cards that are his best:

Cup rookie/99
Cup gold/87
Ice patch/10
Ice/99

Id like fellow Crosby collectors to rank these cards 1-4. My order is above. I value your opinion. Just like to see where the matkets at. Assume that the patch autos are 3 clrs (:

This is just my personal opinion based on what I like the most in my collection. I will say I do not collect Crosby but I do live in Pittsburgh so I know his value in the area.

I would go with
Ice Patch /10 (I'm sure many will disagree)
Cup Rookie /99
Cup Rookie gold /87
Ice rookie /99.

what about HG YG?

I saw one at a show years ago in Windsor he had priced his at 20k

The high gloss is a great one. I wouldnt put it ahead of the four i listed but id slot it in at 5. His BGS 10 goes for 1000 usually so if say the high gloss would fetch qbout 2500. 20 k though is a little rediculous but a great card (:

Not really the most creative answer, as my list stands identical to yours. (They are all great cards, respectively.)

Cup rookie/99
Cup gold/87
Ice patch/10
Ice/99

Great thread!

Thanks man (:

This is the way I see it. For me the best RC trumps everything, and then it's got to be the lowest insert, which in this case also has an auto/patch. After that you have other RCs and parallels.

Cup rookie/99
Ice patch/10
Cup gold/87
Ice/99

I am a collector of crosby and my order would be

Cup rookie/99
Ice/99
Ice patch/10
Cup gold/87

I would also say that his yg should be in the top 5 right along with th HG

thanks

Great answers guys. I personally went with the order i went with based on sets. Ice is a great set every year theres no dpubt about that but it will always rank secomd to Cup. And to me its a fairly distant second. Theres also the fact that the 05 Cup set used game used patches for all the rcs and gold parallels (not just event worn) and that the 05 Cup will probably go down as one of the greatest if not the greatest set of cards ever made. Once i got to 3 and 4 I just figured id rather have the RPA/10 than the base 99 rc which doesnt sport neither a patch or an auto.
