Graded NM/MT 8 by PSA. Bobby Orr changed the way the game of Hockey was played, Orr inspired the game of hockey with his command of the two-way game, which was unique for a defenceman. Defencemen with goal-scoring ability were not common in the NHL before his arrival. Orr was unique because he could score goals as well, and he influenced countless defencemen who followed him. His speed – most notably a rapid acceleration – and his open-ice artistry electrified fans as he set almost every conceivable record for a defenceman. The featured card appears at the very top end of the opined grade with a scintillating convergence of a lacquer like faux wooden surface and four upper end NM/MT or better corners with exceptionally light touches apparent at the extreme tip of several of the points. Pleasingly well centered with a colorful well focused image of the man who was selected by The Hockey News as the second greatest player in the history of the game. Presented in outstanding and important strict NM/MT condition.
