Topps' popular 1965-66 puck issue includes several notable rookie cards, with none more important/valuable than that of Phil Esposito. The big center was a 20-goal scorer for three seasons with Chicago but after a trade to Boston, Espo started to really score, setting the single-season mark with 76 goals in '70-71 and totaling 717 for his career. Offered here, is this copy of card number 116 in the 128-card set, showing Phil in his early days as a member of the Chicago Black Hawks. Deemed worthy of a respectable NM 7 designation, the card displays with good centering and clean surfaces along with smooth edges and sharp corners. Touches of wear are seen on the corners, particularly the top right and bottom right ones. The comic on the back of the card has become visible over time. Slabbed by PSA, the holder remains in excellent condition with light scuffs over the front and a trio of small scratches near the bottom on the reverse.
