Thanks! I wanted to pick one up after reading about them in Brian Powell's book, and Mr. Mikita was the first card I pulled from my first pack of hockey cards many moons ago. It's in perfect condition, and I was surprised at how inexpensive it was.

• 1970's Bobby Orr Rally Hockey Equipment Promotional Card

Great P/U's, Jeff.
How was the Expo by the way? I was wanting to go but I just couldn't co-ordinate my Father's and my schedule. I was hoping to meet Larry personally and talk further about my Beehives too, but it just wasn't met to be I guess?

Yes, Beehives, surprisingly, considering their age, etc, just aren't all that popular/in demand, unfortunately. I have 245, (sold one to Jeff above) that my Father gave me and they are great, imo.
I am currently thinking about trading/selling them to Nicknock, but I just can't bring myself to it lately knowing these were my Father's and what he collected as a kid.
