"The Great Orr" as Boston Bruin icon Milt Schmidt used to like to refer to him, leads the star-studded lineup here, with a run of Bobby's regular issues from 1973-74 to '78-79 present (all are O-Pee-Chees except '75-76 Topps) and joined by three All-Star cards, a '72-73 In Action example and a couple of "leader" cards, while OPC inserts from '71-72 (booklet #24) and '72-73 (player crest #3) are VG and VG+ respectively. We spot a little corner touch or ding on most, denying them high grade status (VG-EX to EX is the average), with the only creased entry being the '71-72 All-Star (G). Hockey's other most prolific Bobby, Hull that is, also contributes (9 times), with '71-72 OPC #50 (EX), booklet #1 (VG-EX) and '72-73 #336 (EX) most notable and accompanied by four WHA issues, with EX-or-better condition to note. A beauty '74-75 WHA card #1 of "The Howes" is NM, similar to three other cards featuring Gordie. Eighteen Mario Lemieux cards are mostly from the '90s, with however a third-year OPC ('87-88) present and EX+, with Patrick Roy's second-year card (NM) from the same issue highlighting 21 of Saint Patrick, again mostly '90s affairs. Completing are 21 Mark Messier representatives, with nine from the '80s carrying the most weight/appeal. Several possibilities for the new owner of this batch.
