Jeff Skinner Cards, Rookie Cards Checklist and Autograph Memorabilia Guide

Jeff Skinner

Date of Birth: 5/16/1992

Rookie Card Year: 2010-11

Investment Rating: 5.0 (Average)

Overview

Selected as the seventh overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, the Carolina Hurricanes found a diamond in the rough with Jeff Skinner. The forward has an instinctive ability to be in the right place at the right time. His puck awareness and ice vision helped him rack up 63 points in his rookie campaign (31 goals and 32 assists).

Skinner was named to the 2010-11 All-Star Game, replacing the injured Sidney Crosby. He was the first 18-year-old since Steve Yzerman to be named to the game's starting roster. Exceeding many critics' expectations, Skinner topped all freshman en route to capturing the league's Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie.

Skinner has 18 different rookie cards, half of which are autographed. They are available at multiple price points for collectors of every budget, but it is his 2010-11 Upper Deck Young Guns card that draws the most consistent interest. Playing in a smaller market has hindered his hobby stature, however, only slightly. The Hurricanes are recent Stanley Cup Champions and have displayed a dedication to winning, earning the team, and its players, a loyal fan following.

Jeff Skinner Key Signature Attributes: An authentic Jeff Skinner signature autograph will exhibit several distinguishing characteristics. Regardless of  the type of item or when it was signed, look for the following signature features:

  2. The signature is quickly written and very fluid with few stops and starts.
  3. The signature is written on an elevated angle of about 20 degrees with a right leaning slant.
  4. Look for the first character to look like a tall and rounded at the top numeral "7."
  5. A line that starts to the right crosses the first character making a point and then curls under forming a backward looking "c."
  6. At the end of the "c" a line comes back to the right to start the next character which consists of a downward line into what looks like a lower case "m."
  7. A long, straight diagonal line crosses the previous character.
  8. He often inscribes his jersey "53."
