Top 10 FWA's all time

[bp06km13]

Was just contemplating what the top 10 FWA's are to own. Here's my list below...what would you change?

1 2005-2006 Sidney Crosby
2 2005-2006 Alexander Ovechkin
3 2015-2016 Connor McDavid
4 2016-2017 Auston Matthews
5 2013-2014 Nathan Mackinnon
6 2007-2008 Patrick Kane
7 2003-2004 Marc Andre Fleury
8 2020-2021 Kirill Kaprizov
9 2014-2015 Leon Draisaitl
10 2019-2020 Cale Makar

Malkin would be the main one you left off. Stamkos, Hedman, and Vasilevskiy all have arguments as well. And I'd put Makar over Marner at this point.

For long term value on a hold do you see Makar (even though amazingly talented with a couple awards now) as a defenseman performing better than a forward like Marner playing for the Maple Leafs?

Yes. Makar led all 23 or younger players in scoring last year - not just defensemen, forwards too. Even if he wasn't a defenseman, people would be buying his cards based on that alone.

[ThoseBackPages]

a new "13"!

[JanuaryRains]

In no particular order:

1. Crosby
2. Ovechkin
3. McDavid
4. Matthews
5. Malkin
6. P. Kane
7. Stamkos
8. Draisaitl
9. Bergeron
10. Mack

Some goalies and defenders with an argument to be on there for sure i.e. Makar, Vasi, etc.

Classic card and amazing player....although I wouldn't include in the top 10 FWA's to own.

He should be higher then Marner (LOL) and Kaprizov (maybe one day) by the shear fact that his is the OG FWA hit.

I listed Marner at 10 mainly due to playing for the Leafs and possible future potential based on current production. Kovalchuk has 1 Rocket to his name, which is more accolades than Marner at the moment obviously. Based on that, Kovalchuk imo will be less sought after (even as an OG FWA). If you want a giggle, you should have a few other candidates over Kovalchuk lol. Would love to see your list, as indicated, it's open for interpretation.

[rohara99]

Wasn't trying to offend. Its just funny how Leafs players are always so cherished.

My list would be something like this:

1. Crosby
2. Ovechkin

Small Gap

3. McDavid
4. Matthews

Large Gap

5. P. Kane
6. Stamkos
7. Malkin
8. Bergeron
9. MA Fleury
10. Mackinon

Just outside the top 10

Makar (likely to knock someone out of top 10)
Price
Toews
Kovalchuk (OG status makes a difference IMO)
Vasi
Hedman
Draisaitl

I'd put Marner in the category with Gaudreau, Tavares and those types who haven't really won anything.

[NHRonin]

I can’t believe there’s no Pasta love here.

[CB Nostalgia]

Datsyuk is the 4th best player on that list historically and no one has listed him yet. Unless you’re going purely by how much the cards sell for, Datsyuk should be in the top ten. Even without the auto.

[Wyatt2506]

In terms of current market value, I would put Ovechkin and McDavid ahead of Crosby. I didn't realize the gap between Ovechkin and Crosby had increased so much until I saw these two FWA's that ended on 08/28/22 over at Heritage Auctions. The Crosby has slightly better subgrades. The Ovi sold for more than twice as much. Maybe it was just a weird anomaly...I don't follow these cards closely.

Tough to crack the Top 10 Future Watch Autos without an Auto

Tom Brady says hi.

Chara one is underrated especially in high grade which will have lower pop than any of these.

If we're going by FW (non-auto) Chara cracks the top 10 list for sure IMO. Datsyuk up there too.

Hejduk with the honorary mention for being the first big FW chase card too.

This might be my exact list too. I agree Makar will be in it in a few years. Only player I might sub in is Toews in for MacKinnon, though another Cup for the Avs would make me reconsider

[bradyvick]

1. Derek Boogaard

Everyone else

[booky]

the list above is basically the order with a few shuffling around.

Honerable mentions (buying Low/and praying high)
Huberdeau
Barkov
Fox
Robertson
Hughes
Petterson
Connor
Letang
Keith
Kopitar
Doughty
Miro
Weber
Tage Thompson

[CB Nostalgia]

Just had these come in today. I still think Kovalchuk belongs in the top ten personally. Available by the way.

[slev]

those are slick.

don't collect Kovy at all, but /25 and first issue...too bad he didn't hit 500g in the NHL

I own a Crosby BGS 9.5, 10 auto. I wouldn't take under $6k for it. The market is the market, but I would imagine that the person who sold that card was figuring he would have another grand or so on top of that.

Especially since they sold for $15k + during the season.
