The key card in Topps' nifty 1965-66 hockey card effort and picturing a young man who would smash NHL single season scoring records in astonishing fashion is offered here in splendid NM-MT 8 form. The back of Phil Esposito's rookie card describes him as "Big, good-natured guy, Hawks wishes he was more ornery on ice." Chicago brass later also wished they hadn't traded the big center to Boston! Not until Wayne Gretzky came along were Phil's scoring exploits surpassed. This example of card #116 is one of 82 on the PSA Population Report at NM-MT 8, with just 11 of 245 total Espo RC submissions ranking higher.
