For you rich people out there who thought collecting hockey cards was too cheap of a hobby, Upper Deck and the National Hockey League Players’ Association introduced today the Grandeur Hockey Coin Collection. For Caps fans, Alex Ovechkin is part of the 20 players available, along with former superstars like Wayne Gretzky and Patrick Roy.
The collection has some head scratchers (a Daniel Sedin coin but no Henrik? William Nylander? Patrice Bergeron?), and collectors will have to put up with the blind package – you don’t know what you’re getting until you open it.
