Macklin Celebrini becomes fifth-youngest player to 200 NHL points

His Young Guns rookie runs about $2,000 in PSA 10, with more copies graded in less than two years than Crosby’s in 20.

On Wednesday night, the 20-year-old captain of the San Jose Sharks scored his 200th career point. Macklin Celebrini is now the fifth-youngest NHL player to reach that mark at 20 years and 151 days. The only players younger are Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, Wayne Gretzky, Jimmy Carson, and Mario Lemieux.

His cards are already setting records this early in his career. In August 2026, his Young Guns Outburst Gold 1/1 sold for $1.281 million at Goldin, the highest price ever for a hockey card of a player not named Wayne Gretzky. The card was PSA authenticated with no grade.

Celebrini’s base Young Guns sells well. A PSA 10 runs about $2,000, a PSA 9 about $480, and a raw copy about $350.

​

For reference, here are the other players who quickly reached 200 points. Sidney Crosby was 19 years and 207 days old when he reached the benchmark. He’s been the Penguins’ cornerstone ever since. His 2005-06 Upper Deck Young Guns runs just under $5,000 in PSA 10 and just over $2,000 in PSA 9. Crosby slabs don’t come up for sale regularly because PSA has graded only 3,085 Crosby Young Guns in 20 years against 11,247 Celebrini Young Guns in less than two (as of Nov. 12).

If we look at retired players, sales volume narrows. Mario Lemieux’s 1985-86 O-Pee-Chee rookie card runs about $4,300 in PSA 9 and just over $1,000 in PSA 8. Two of the greatest Penguins of all time have very high card markets for their premier rookies. A Lemieux PSA 9 sells within $700 of a Crosby PSA 10. A Lemieux 9 trades like a gem because PSA has graded only 48 Lemieux PSA 10s against 1,410 for Crosby.

Let’s finish with “The Great One.” Wayne Gretzky’s 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee is probably the most famous and most desirable hockey card ever made. A PSA 8 runs $19,350, while a PSA 6 goes for just over $4,200. That two whole grades are worth more than $15,000 on this card is notable. Not every card carries the same grade multiplier.
