New hockey cards, posters, and plaques are sure to be developed if Sidney Crosby raises the Stanley Cup for the second time in his career Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are a single win away from capturing hockey's ultimate prize, fitting as Crosby's first known hockey card has recently surfaced.

The card was included in a magazine called Rookie Review and while it references Shattuck-St. Mary's, it includes a picture from the 2002-03 season where Crosby played for the Dartmouth Subways as a 14-year-old, according to puckjunk.com's Sal Barry.

That season Crosby would go on to score 95 goals and 193 points in 74 games while adding 24 points in seven playoff games, according to Barry. Maybe then it's no surprise he became arguably the best player in the world.
