As my first post on this board I thought I would show my favorite card that I added to my PC a couple of weeks ago:
It's not my highest dollar card, nor is it in great condition, but to me this is one of those cards you take in any grade you can get because they don't grow on trees. IMO the 1965 Topps Bobby Orr is/should be the hockey equivalent of the 1952 Topps Mantle. Similar eras, iconic card, Mount Rushmore hockey player, and extremely scarce. Love, love, love this card. |

Great stuff. Love the 74/75 pack, very nice. My favorite year for all four sports sets from Topps in the '70s. Hope I can run across one of those some day.

Thanks! BBCE had 7-8 of them a few weeks ago and I managed to snag the last one. They went fast. 74-75 was the first hockey set I collected as a kid so it was purely a nostalgia purchase. I remember needing only Phil Esposito to complete it. Being in Bruins country during the peak of the Orr/Espo years that drove me nuts because nobody would trade me one! I never did get it and sold off the partial set (along with all the other cards I collected as a kid) at a yard sale a few years later.

I never did. I did OPC but not the Topps. More focused on baseball lately but I do hope to get it done one day.

I only got to one game in the Garden, toward the end if its final year, against the Penguins. I was a guest of the company my wife worked for at the time and we were in a luxury box so it was hardly a true taste of the Garden. My dad refused to take me as a kid because of the crowd you described!

Larry, just picked up my PSA 1 yesterday, ironically my card must have been in the same stack as your card during the grading process being 1 digit ahead of yours! Fun stuff.

But you're absolutely right. In fact, your copy ran at auction four or five weeks ago and I lost the auction by THREE DOLLARS. Talk about disappointment. But the next day the same seller listed another one that was graded in the same batch, and I won that auction which is the card I posted above. He actually sold a third one after that as well that had been bent in half with a huge crease down the middle. Whoever bought your copy relisted it on eBay maybe a week ago on a BIN/OBO and it looks like you got the deal done It's a great looking PSA 1 for sure! I wish I had bid a few dollars more lol Last edited by FrozenInferno; 02-22-2021 at 10:24 AM. |
