Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Bobby Orr, Parry Sound, Ontario’s prodigy son and 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. The offered example recently returned from PSA headquarters where it received a VG 3 assessment, with a bit of the border of another card visible down the right edge responsible for the (MC) qualifier. Corner and edge wear and a dingy blemish in the boards/ice to the left of the young star’s image are to note. You’ll be admiring “The Great Orr” (as Milt Schmidt liked to refer to him) when this treasure is delivered – it’ll arrive in a scratch-free PSA holder.
