1966 Topps Bobby Orr #35 PSA NM 7. The 1966 Topps Bobby Orr rookie card is quite possibly the most coveted hockey card in the entire universe of hockey cards. The Boston Bruins organization caught wind of his prodigious skill at the tender age of fourteen. An exceptional talent, Orr was ready for the big stage of the NHL by the time he was eighteen years old graced with superb speed, phenomenal stickhandling and out-of-this-world defensive prowess. Few who had seen him play would say that the Bruins were out of line when they made the teen the highest-paid player in NHL history for his rookie campaign. To say that he was good in his debut professional campaign would be a glaring understatement. The Calder Trophy (top rookie), a spot on the Second All-Star Team and second in scoring by defenseman are all rookie-year honors. Orr revitalized Beantown's zest for hockey much in the same way that Eddie Shore had sparked it generations before. When Orr dominated a game there was very little anyone could do about it.

Graded PSA NM 7. The physical condition of the card is close to being un-improvable. Starting with the surfaces free of any blemishes or mishap. The layer of gloss is shiny and consistent, proof that handling was been kept to a bare minimum. Corners all come to 90-degree angles with defined tips. Centering teeters on the cusp of perfection. A very strong example that would fit nicely into any collection.
