Overview
The value of Corey Crawford cards and autographed memorabilia are slowly starting to earn their rightful place for a goalie of his caliber. Drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2003 with the 52nd pick, he was slowly groomed for the starting position that he eventually took over in 2010-11. Crawford helped lead the Blackhawks to their 2013 Stanley Cup Championship.
Crawford's 11 rookie cards can be found in multiple Upper Deck products from 2005-06. He is part of the year's dual rookie class that also features Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.
In addition, Crawford has several pre-rookie cards including several team-issued cards from his playing time in the QMJHL with the Moncton Wildcats. One of his most popular early cards is from 2004-05 In The Game Heroes & Prospects.
Crawford's first certified autograph card can be found in 2005-06 In The Game Heroes & Prospects, a minor league autograph. In the Game also made his first memorabilia cards in 2005-06. Crawford's first NHL autograph was issued in 2010-11 Panini Dominion Hockey. 2010-11 Zenith and Dominion were the first sets to include memorabilia cards of the goalie.
Corey Crawford's autographed memorabilia has seen a steady increase in demand since winning the Stanley Cup in 2013. Fans and collectors of the Blackhawks had been hesitant to invest in a goalie who the organization was slow to give the starting spot. With that now behind him, the sky's the limit for the prices of his autographed memorabilia.
Top Corey Crawford Rookie Cards
2005-06 SP Authentic Corey Crawford RC #257 #/1999
SP Authentic's Future Watch subset is very popular with hockey collectors. Crawford's card is no different. It is serial numbered to 1,999 total copies.
2005-06 Upper Deck Black Diamond Corey Crawford RC #225 Triple Diamond
The limited nature of the triple and quad diamond versions provide a nice chase element to the Black Diamond base set. Despite not being serial numbered the three diamonds on the front of the card indicate it is more rare than cards with just one or two.
2005-06 Upper Deck Ice Corey Crawford RC #260 #/2999
The Ice brand is immensely popular with many collectors. In this day and age, a card serial numbered to nearly 3,000, is hardly considered rare. However, the quantity produced is more an attempt to meet collector demand than it is to create a short-printed rookie card. What sets Ice Rookie Premieres apart is the fact that they're printed on acetate, giving them a look and feel.
