Do you want to own one of the most coveted hockey card collectibles of the 21st century?
Now is your chance; It just might cost you $1,000,000 dollars.
The highly coveted 1/1 Macklin Celebrini Gold Outburst Young Guns was pulled in the Chicago, Illinois, area a few weeks ago and is now officially up for auction at the world-renowned Goldin Auction site.

The opening bid was $15,000 USD and was quickly bid up to over $200,000 in the first 40-hours of the auction, which is not set to end until August 15th at 10 PM.
Many experts believe this card is heading for a record breaking number.
The owner of the card turned down a $600,000 CAD offer from Canadian eBay consignor Slab Sharks, which many expect to be the new benchmark for the card, with the ceiling in the millions.
Sports cards and collectibles have become an alternative form of investing, and a one-of-a-kind grail like this Celebrini 1/1 Gold Outburst Young Guns is certainly applicable to all supply-and-demand standards for investing 101.
The combination of Celebrini’s career trajectory, the card’s rarity, and publicity could allow this sale to break modern-day hobby records.
For context, the largest sale for a modern-day hockey card, meaning it was produced in the last 25-30 years, is a PSA 10 Connor McDavid RPA /99 from The Cup, which sold for $571,000 CAD on December 5th, 2025.
It’s entirely likely the Celebrini gold Young Guns will surpass that number, considering the aforementioned investing and collectibility factors, in addition to the outstanding bounty offer and gravity of Goldin Auctions.
It’s also fitting that the star player signed a record-breaking extension the same week, resetting the market with an $18.8M AAV on a five-year deal to stick with the Sharks.
Now that he’s been paid, maybe Celebrini himself can celebrate by buying his own grail rookie card?
