Show & Tell Contest - Week 18 - Best Card of a player from the #1 Seed in the Eastern Conference

[RGM81]

Today we begin Week 18 of the 2024 Show & Tell Contest, sponsored by Market Movers by Sports Card Investor - you can see the weekly themes and get the "how to" in the main contest thread. If you didn't see the announcement, you'll all be thrilled to learn that our prizes are confirmed! The overall winner will have their choice of a hobby box of 2023-24 UD Series 1 OR a hobby box of 2023-24 UD Artifacts. 2nd Place will receive the other box. Thank you to our sponsor!

The theme this week is: Best Card of a player from the #1 Seed in the Eastern Conference

With the 2023-24 regular season in the books, and the playoffs getting underway, let's see some cards featuring the top team in the Eastern Conference: the New York Rangers. They have already made their way through their first-round opponent, dispatching the Capitals in a sweep. With the legacy of an Original Six club, there's some amazing cards of past players but also some great stars of today to be featured.

Posting guideline: please ensure that you have proof of ownership in your image. This can be as simple as having your SCF user name on a decoy card alongside your submission. I'll share an example below.

Contest is open to all SCF Members except for myself, fellow TM's, and anyone in the upper management. We can play, but we won't be eligible in the voting rounds.

Reminder about the points & RP available for participation:

How points will be awarded:

1pt for a valid entry

Voting:

4pts for first place
2pts for second place
If we get more than 10 entries, an additional point will be awarded to both 1st and 2nd place, and I'll award 1 point for 3rd place.

Each entry will earn you 25 Rewards Points. For those not familiar with SCF RP, it's a site currency that can be used to purchase cards from other members, the SCF Rewards Store, and get into special Group Breaks hosted by @doniceage

The winner of each week's contest will be awarded an additional 250RP.

So this one actually predates him being with the Rangers, but it's my favourite Lafreniere:

We'll see how the fan club votes this week with a big market New York theme.

I'll start it off with this card from Marian Gaborik's stint with the Rangers. A nice "REEBOK" Tag 1/1 card.

Let's go with another Gretzky. This is one of my favorites, I pulled this card over 20 years ago. Some folks don't care for jersey numbered cards, but I think one is a beauty.
