Alex Ovechkin achieved a historic milestone on April 6 by scoring his 895th career goal, making him the NHL's new all-time goals leader. Following this accomplishment, a variety of memorabilia, such as t-shirts and Funko Pops, have emerged. However, Upper Deck's decision to cut pieces from the ceremony carpet where Ovechkin celebrated to create unique collectible cards stands out. While collectors are excited, opinions are mixed on the desirability of carpet memorabilia. Getting ahold of this historic memorabilia is challenging, as key pieces are already destined for auction or a museum in Russia.
Upper Deck plans to cut up the carpet from Ovechkin's on-ice ceremony and insert pieces into trading cards, creating unique memorabilia for collectors.
The carpet features Ovechkin's name, his chase logo, and the number 895, and the cards have drawn mixed reactions from the collector community.
