Bobby Orr, the Parry Sound, Ontario native who would leave an impression on the hockey world like no other player appears here on his 1966-67 Topps rookie card as he embarked on a sensational, all-too-short ten-year run as our sport's most exciting performer. Orr’s forever-in-demand card #35 of Topps' 1966-67 issue pictures Bobby at 18 and is an absolute prerequisite to an important cardboard collection. Part of the write-up on the back reads "...certainly will become one of the future stars in the NHL. A rushing defenceman who can set up goals as well as score them." Bobby indeed went on to forge his legacy as arguably the greatest player ever to lace on a pair of skates, rendering his rookie cards coveted, coveted. A very attractive VG-EX 4 example is how we see this one, with perfect centering definitely striking the beholder, along with a clean, crease-free surface – nice. Corner touches/light dings and light corner wear are visible but definitely not what will catch your attention. An appealing specimen, freshly graded by PSA, is deserving of considerable consideration and is encapsulated in a scratch-free PSA holder.
