Overview
If you're considering adding any of the first Jonathan Quick cards to your collection, be fast. With an extremely limited number of rookie cards, there aren't many to go around. Not only has he emerged as one of the NHL's best goaltenders but he has done so in one of the NHL's biggest markets, Los Angeles.
Jonathan Quick cards and memorabilia took a huge leap during the 2011-12 season where he helped lead the Kings to an improbable Stanley Cup win, the first in the franchise's history. Quick won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP. He also earned a Vezina Trophy nomination, which is handed out annually to the league's top goaltender, for his regular season play.
Although the first Jonathan Quick cards have seen dramatic price increases, there is still a lot more room for growth. A huge part of the reason is that Quick has just three different rookie cards. The combined print run of those three cards: 1,597. That's not much supply for one of the hockey's elite. As a result, it won't be long before the prices of Jonathan Quick rookie cards are sent into the stratosphere.
While great play will always be the main factor in determining the value of Jonathan Quick cards and memorabilia, there are a couple more things that could help influence his status. The first is his team. The Kings may not be the most popular team in the league but they play in one of the biggest markets. Should Los Angeles fall in love with their squad once again, Quick will be a centerpiece of that resurgence. Also, as an American, national pride could also play a role in his hobby standing in the future.
Although rookies are the most important Jonathan Quick cards to get, autographs shouldn't be far behind. Although his signature is beginning to appear in more products, at this point, affordable autograph cards are still tough to come by. This is especially true for Jonathan Quick cards with on-card signatures.
Jonathan Quick Rookie Card Guide
2007-08 Be A Player Jonathan Quick RC #247 #/99
Limited to just 99 serial-numbered copies, the 2007-08 Be A Player Jonathan Quick is the goalies rarest rookie card. The bottom third of the card is dominated by a black name plate with a massive 'Rookie' notation. While the scratched look is unique, it's one that doesn't stand out over time. This is the best shot of Quick among his rookie cards.
2007-08 SP Authentic Jonathan Quick RC #177 #/999
Every year, SP Authentic is a popular set among set collectors. So while this may be Quick's most plentiful rookie card, it's also the one with the most popular brand. Overall, this card has a clean design, although the brown isn't the most appealing.
2007-08 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Jonathan Quick RC #96 #/499
Of all the first-year Jonathan Quick cards, the 2007-08 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection card is probably the least attractive. The huge vertical stripe on the side of the card dominates the overall look. Despite taking up such a large piece of real estate, this stripe adds very little.
