The O-Pee-Chee company's first official hockey card issue since the early 1940s, the '68-69 set has always been popular among collectors and includes the rookie card of Hall of Fame goalie Bernie Parent. The key Parent RC here has been encapsulated by PSA which gave it a "NM-MT 8 (OC)". Bobby Hull's regular card (#16) received the same grade while checklist #61 is a "NM 7" and Gordie Howe's #29 card is slabbed "EX 5". The Bobby Orr (#2) came back as "Miscut" and with indeed a diamond cut, looks to be VG or at best VG-EX. Orr All-Star is VG-EX and Orr trophy winner VG. Among the cards that we deem NRMT and possibly NM-MT are Redmond RC, Esposito, Sanderson and Howe All-Star, with #1-Harvey at EX-MT and Sawchuk EX-MT (OC).
Checklist #121 has its boxes neatly filled in with blue ink and is otherwise VG. Difficult to give an overall grade here, but EX to EX-MT appears fair/conservative.
