A veteran of ten (10) National Hockey League seasons who had his career cut short due to injuries, Mike Bossy would win four (4) Stanley Cup’s and go down as one of the best goal scorers the NHL has ever seen, still owning the best goals per game percentage in the league history. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1991, up for grabs here is this collection of various Bossy hockey cards totaling thirty-three (33) that date between 1978-79 and 1987-88 with all having been graded by either PSA or BVG.
