"He looked at our hockey, basketball, and Pokémon cards. He liked a LeBron we had. He didn't end up getting anything, but asked if we could order some older hobby boxes, which I did immediately."
"Ovechkin specifically requested some older hockey trading card boxes from 2005-06 and 2008-09. We showed him some of the stuff we had of his. He was more interested in a rare Lebron we have in the shop."
"He said his wife collects Pokémon and looked at some of those as well. He said he didn't have any cards but had a lot of memorabilia. Sounds like he might be trying to get into some cards, though."
Alex Ovechkin, the NHL's top goal-scorer, visited Goatz Sportz Cardz in Herndon, VA, surprising owner Bryan Janick.

Although he did not purchase anything, he admired a rare LeBron James card and mentioned his wife's Pokémon card collection. Ovechkin has a significant memorabilia collection but seems keen to start collecting trading cards. His rookie cards are valued highly, with some exceeding $1,000.
