Overview
Claude Giroux is one of the most dynamic young players in the NHL. He has quickly established his presence with speed and chippy play. His knack for finding the open man has elevated the players around him. His ability to find the opposing goalie's weakness has made him a scoring threat from anywhere on the ice. His willingness to step up and go toe to toe with the opponents top players has made his a fan favorite in Philly. Claude Giroux cards are also becoming a favorite among many collectors.
Opponents have shown the centre great respect by putting their best defensive players up against him. Once thought to be too small for the rigors of the NHL, Giroux has proven that he is a star working his way towards being one of the game's elite.
As Giroux's star power on the ice grows, so too does his hobby presence. Collectors have caught on to Claude Giroux cards and prices have risen in recent years. Giroux's jersey sales are also among the best in the NHL.
Claude Giroux has more than 20 different rookie cards, most of which are fairly inexpensive. The Flyers have already been to the Stanley Cup finals once under his leadership. Should Philadelphia hoist Lord Stanley in the near future, Claude Giroux cards will soar. Now is a great time to get in on the action.
