The card for every Penguins devotee, hockey fanatic, and anyone who has ever watched #87 and understood that some players don’t just lead — they define what leadership looks like under pressure.
Canadian artist Chris Tutty created Sid — a breathtaking, painterly vintage hockey card tribute to one of the greatest players in NHL history. Styled as a classic Topps collector edition, the card features a stunning action portrait of Sidney Crosby — #87, Centre for the Pittsburgh Penguins — white CCM helmet, intense focused eyes, white and gold Penguins jersey with the iconic penguin crest and captain’s C, stick in hand, bearing down on the play. A fiery explosive background of red, orange, and black paint swirls behind him. A smaller action shot inset shows him in full stride on the ice in his #87 Penguins jersey. The bold header reads HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ★ TOPPS ★ PITTSBURGH PENGUINS. The Penguins crest blazes beside the number 87 circle. Bold black and gold typography across the bottom reads:
SIDNEY CROSBY ★ CENTRE ★ THE KID. THE CAPTAIN. THE CLUTCH.
For the hockey lover. The Penguins devotee. The person who has always known that Sid isn’t just the best player of his generation — he’s the standard by which all others are measured. For the birthday, the hockey night, or just because — this is the card that will make every Penguins fan lose their mind.
