One of the greatest goal scorers our sport has known and whose name is being heard in discussions as Alex Ovechkin chases Wayne Gretzky’s all-time mark, Mike Bossy arrived on the NHL scene and proceeded to set the league on fire, firing a rookie-record 53 goals, his scoring prowess resulting in nine straight 50-or-more-goal seasons, another record. This perfectly-centered 1978-79 Topps Bossy rookie card tells of his 25 power play goals during his Calder Trophy-winning season and was deemed worthy of MINT 9 status some years ago at PSA. A quick check of the PSA Population Report informs that of the over 1300 Topps Bossy rookies to have been assessed by the firm over the years, just four have scored higher than 9. A back injury denied Mike a higher career mark but no one in NHL history has averaged more regular season goals per game than the prolific New York Islander right winger – what an all-too-short career hockey fans of a certain age were witness to. We do not spot any noteworthy scratches/flaws to the PSA holder.
