Yes, not one but two Larry Robinson rookie cards are involved in this good-looking batch of condition sensitive 1973-74 O-Pee-Chee cards, displaying well in 9-pocket pages. We would say NM or very close to it (EX-MT+) for the nicest (grey back) Robinson RC, with the other (white back) at EX+. Other keys are led by Bobby Orr and Billy Smith, both with NM characteristics but with a wax stain affecting the back of the Smith RC. Pages can sometimes hide small flaws and the pulled stars and some random pulls lead to the discovery of intermittent touched corners, along with some NM-or-better examples. EX-MT to NM cards appear to outnumber EX and EX+ entries, with grey back versions the vast majority; all have grey backs except for (18) from Series 1 and (20) from Series 2. Checklists are unmarked and in the EX+ to EX-MT vicinity. Other noteworthy rookie cards are those of Barber (EX), Schultz (NM+) and O’Reilly, the latter (otherwise NM+) lowered by a chipped top edge. O-Pee-Chees from ’73-74 are challenging – you’ll enjoy flipping through the offered ensemble when it arrives.
