2009–10 Upper Deck Ovation Evander Kane #43 – WHL Vancouver Giants (Embossed)

Evander Kane card from 2009–10 Upper Deck Ovation Hockey, featuring Kane during his dominant WHL Vancouver Giants years prior to becoming an NHL regular. This card uses Upper Deck’s Ovation embossed foil technology, which creates raised contours and reflective texture across the surface — often mistaken for creasing in photos but fully intentional by design.
