For regular collectors, getting a tin of 2009-2010 Upper Deck’s The Cup might give you a thrilling rush to open. Each box, which contains one pack, costs about $400.
For a man making a little more than $9 million a year, that surge is a little tempered.
Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin ripped a pack of Upper Deck’s 2009-2010 The Cup (Ovechkin signed a 13-year $124 million contract extension in 2008) at a private party recently and there’s video proof.
He also ripped a $100 box of 2009-2010 Ultimate Hockey.
See the autographs and patches he gets.
Spoiler: He didn’t get any of his own cards.
In 18 games this season, Ovechkin has 10 goals and 15 assists. He’s third in the league with 25 points.
