Announcing his arrival on the professional scene with his very first NHL game occurring seven months after his 18th birthday, Bobby Orr first donned the classic spoked-B jersey of the Boston Bruins on Oct 19, 1966 vs Gordie Howe and the Detroit Red Wings, with the young superstar scoring his first assist. Orr would score the first of his 270 NHL goals four days later vs the Montreal Canadiens, with his inaugural two-goal game played on Nov 23rd vs the Rangers, with the contest also witnessing the dominant blueliner net his first power-play goal. We have an MSG ticket stub from the historic Nov 23rd contest, graded PR 1 (MK) by PSA. One of only three stubs from the contest to meet PSA’s approval (in 'PSA certified' there is one graded PSA authentic along with our specimen, while in 'PSA/DNA certified' there is one graded PSA 2), the date and venue are listed along with the $4.00 ticket price, with “Rangers 5 Bruins 4” handwritten to the reverse. Down by one in the third, Orr tied the score at 7:25, only to have the Rangers add two more. The power-play goal would be the last of the contest at 14:27, with Pit Martin and Ron Murphy assisting. Sporting a few creases along with minor toning, the stub is ideal for any advanced Bobby Orr collection.
