2005 Upper Deck #SM2 Alexander Ovechkin Stars in the Making PSA 10 – A Gem Mint Rookie-Year Insert of a Generational Goal Scorer

In 2005, Alexander Ovechkin took the NHL by storm. With blistering speed, a deadly one-timer, and relentless intensity, the Capitals rookie delivered 52 goals and 106 points en route to winning the Calder Trophy—and igniting what would become one of the most prolific careers in hockey history. Over the next two decades, Ovechkin would pile up Rocket Richard Trophies, All-Star nods, and—most notably—go on a legendary pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal record.

The 2005 Upper Deck Stars in the Making #SM2 insert highlights Ovechkin in his breakout rookie campaign. Graded PSA 10, this Gem Mint example features sharp edges, immaculate surface, and perfect centering, with a dynamic design that showcases the young sniper in full stride. Unlike his base rookie, this limited insert issue carries added intrigue due to its focused print run and standout visual flair.

For collectors chasing rookie-year Ovechkin cards in top condition, this PSA 10 insert delivers the goods. A pristine piece of cardboard honoring the early days of one of hockey’s all-time greats.
