The last card set featuring the "Original Six" teams, Topps 1967-68 effort features appealing early cards of Bobby Orr and is not easy to put together in high grades. That however is exactly what our consignor was able to accomplish, with the details as follows: Orr's second year card (#92), along with his All-Star card (#128) both received "NM-MT 8" status from the PSA grading company, while the Orr trophy winner card came in at "EX-MT 6". Other PSA-slabbed cards include an "8" Rod Gilbert, with "NM 7" cards of Esposito, Howe (#43), Worsley, Lemaire RC, Vachon RC ("NM 7 (ST)"), Mikita trophy winner (#64) and #s 12-Stemkowski and 61-Stapleton. A tad lower at "EX-MT 6" is Bobby Hull (#113) and Howe All-Star at "EX-MT 6 (ST)". The remaining ungraded cards average NRMT with EX-MT and NM-MT cards present. Checklist #120 is a scorcher while checklist #66 off-center with evidence of some erased pencil marks. Random less than perfect centering, wax stains and slight corner/edge wear are the minor flaws to consider. Overall, a sharp set and coveted by collectors.
