      The Hockey Card Report

                                                         counted on to take care of the details
                                                         that don’t make the highlight reel.

                                                           The 2019-20 MVP Silver Script
                                                         from UD of Nathan MacKinnon
                                                         is worth around $7 in the current

                                                         market, ungraded. MacKinnon gave

      think are not only the heartbeat of                MVP scored Canada’s opening goal
      Team Canada, but 4 players who                     in the final and never slowed down
      individually,  would  be  the  best  on            throughout the game and the OT
      any team, anywhere, in any league                  period. MacKinnon has grown into
      or competition.   Starting with our                our Team’s next Crosby and between

      Captain, Sydney Crosby, who led the                him and McDavid we don’t have
      team on and off the ice, setting the               to worry about someone else being

      2020-21 NHL Worldwide UD series 1

      card that I chose because of its visual

      This card is currently valued at around
