Default Always liked this card when opening 1985 topps hockey so had to get this.
Pretty nice action shot, probably in warm ups.

A couple old and a couple new.

Clark Gillies OPC RC 75-76 and an OPC Bobby Orr 76-77. Both cards were rather tough to find centered so I'm glad I was able to get both of these.

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.

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.

Larry owns the SGC, the PSA one was mine

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

Nice gets, Adam. I remember the 72-73's the most from my youth, and thanks to mom and/or dad, I still have some.

As I dive back into collecting I want to fill out a couple of my favorite players from childhood. Plus I wanted to buy a PSA and KSA for a low price, hold them, and compare them with my own two eyes. These sure look good to me and very similar and they both came this week.

Excited to contribute to the site.

Time to find some more cards.

Very nice. Two great ones there, can't go wrong with Lafleur, but I especially like the Perreault. Have a small little PC of him going. Enjoy the search for your next additions.

Congrats.
Are you planning on purchasing/collecting one card at a time type of thing or going for lots or maybe a whole set?
Been watching some sets recently, and although it isn't something I necessarily follow too often, I've seen some real nice sets sell on the cheap, imo. (From CDN sellers)

Default Set building
I'm probably going to keep it on the back burner and find cards here and there, primarily through trades, if I can. That Gretzky is the only one I have, but will look at add more as I see them.

Cheers,
Geno

Just a few recent cheap P/U's of some of Philip Tomasino's RC's. Personally, I think the kid is going to be a good one, but then again, I am likely being biased as I use to watch him quite a bit when he played for the Oshawa Generals.
He is currently playing on Nashville's farm team (a big mistake, imo) but I'm hoping he makes it back up soon.
