Like an adjacent lot featuring 1971 Topps Hockey, this is a card set where almost each and every card in the set is a blazing PSA 8 Near-Mint to Mint monster, with only four cards landing outside the range, but in this case that means the outliers are actually above PSA 8. It ranks No. 10 on the PSA Set Registry with an average grade of 8.05. With a roster that includes the likes of Bobby Orr, Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Phil Esposito, Jean Beliveau, Terry Sawchuk and an eye-popping Bernie Parent Rookie, the lot represents an opportunity to pick up an important collectible that is in virtually unimprovable condition. Here’s the breakdown of the cards above PSA 8: PSA 8.5 Near-Mint to Mint-Plus (2) – No. 11 and 72; PSA 9 Mint (2) – No. 16 and 131.
