One of the most desirable rookie cards of the modern era, that picturing Parry Sound, Ontario's wonder boy, Bobby Orr, is offered here and features a wonderful sprawling Orr blue sharpie autograph. The young phenom who had goaltenders sprawling, onlookers gasping and teammates marveling as he revolutionized the way in which defencemen played hockey, was indeed, like the write-up on the back states "A rushing defenceman who can set up goals as well as score them." Bobby added "#4" after his coveted signature. Good-looking Orr RC is free of any unsightly creases, with an extremely light 3/4" diagonal surface crease in the lower left corner only detectable upon close inspection. With corner wear and the appearance of a VG or VG+ card, this specimen will look smashing in your Bobby/rookie card/autograph shrine - what a combination!
Classic Auctions is pleased to offer an exceptional collection of autographed hockey rookie cards, all of which have been encapsulated by PSA and certified “Authentic.” An area of the hobby which has gone under-appreciated and which has tremendous growth potential is that of the signed rookie card, when one considers the comparatively miniscule amount of vintage rookie cards which feature autographs. Our consignor’s sensational stash includes a marvelous array of Hall-of-Famers and stars. The fact that the pictured players handled and autographed the cards is indeed intriguing and thought-provoking. Please note that the cards themselves are not PSA-graded and that we’ve done our best to give an accurate account of their condition, with however no returns accepted in regards to condition details, as understandably, minute grade-lowering flaws may not be visible through PSA holders. Good luck with this outstanding collection.
