He already has a Stanley Cup Championship and has been a Norris Trophy finalist as one of the league's top defensive players.
Drew Doughty has 21 rookie cards from various 2008-09 products. Some of them include his first NHL certified autograph and memorabilia cards as well. The values of his rookie cards range from inexpensive base cards to premium, short-printed cards that command top dollar.
Doughty also has several pre-rookie cards. His first autographed card is from 2006-07 In the Game Heroes and Prospects. The company also produced his first memorabilia card the following year. Both of these cards are minor league cards from his time in the OHL.
Being a Stanley Cup Champion has its rewards. An increased demand for autographed memorabilia is one of them. Anything related to the Kings 2012 Stanley Cup victory carries a premium. Doughty was a big part of the Kings Championship, which was the team's first in franchise history.
