Here is the Card Company's list for the each team's all-time great.

While only one player per team made the All-Time Greatest Collection - with players really only battling other members from the same franchise - it was a battle all season to see who would finish with the most overall votes.


The New York Rangers' Andy Bathgate led the vote for the contest's first three months, all the way up until the contest's final two weeks. Bathgate will still represent the Rangers in Upper Deck's collection, but was overtaken for all-time greatest player by both Boston's Bobby Orr (No. 1) and Montreal's Maurice Richard (No. 2).



Orr won the title by less than one-tenth of a percent of the overall all-time player vote. In total, 4.5 million votes were tallied across the contest's three categories.



Rookie Alexander Ovechkin, who became only the sixth rookie in NHL history to score at least 100 points in a season, was voted the best Washington Capital ever, besting Mike Gartner.



Gretzky, Perreault and Lemieux were the only players to have two cards in the set, being selected as the best rookie and one all-time greatest player for their individual team. Fans of hall-of-famer Bobby Hull and son, Brett, came en masse to vote as Brett was St. Louis' all-time player representative while finishing in the top-six all time. Brett also nearly beat Mike Modano to become Dallas' all-time greatest player, and Bobby Hull, who was not listed on the ballot, got the most write-in votes of any player, with 2,225 for his tenure with Chicago.

Anyone agree with the picks? At least they gor one thing right...Orr as the most popular of all-time.
