Not a lot of collecting lately but I did manage to grab these over the last month.
|
Love those 70/71s, such a great set.

I just picked up the final 2 (I believe?) of the All Star cards last night. I needed Eddie Giacomin and Jacques Laperriere. While searching out the Laperriere All Star cards, I discovered there were 2 versions/variations so I purchased both I found in one lot. One card on the back has no writing/name and the other one has "Gilbert Perreault Outstanding Rookie" written on it. No idea which one is tougher/more rare, (if one actually is?), but I'm glad I got both just the same. (will post pics when the arrive) I don't follow these cards religiously so I really have no idea if they've been projecting up lately or not but I was surprised by some of the prices realized with some of the cards I was watching last night. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/387474712627 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/387474712625 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/315842493978 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/387474712607 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/315842493966 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/135297535713 |

I love subsets, especially All-Star and playoff ones. This Orr below is the only AS I have from 70, I think. That's great you have picked those up, a very nice project. https://images20.fotki.com/v1654/pho...00_2792-vi.jpg |

I remember pulling these as a kid and the All Star cards were, by far, my favorite cards of the bunch. Just something about the looks of the black AS cards really appealed to me. |

I really like the 71/72 OPC trophy winner cards as well. |
So I cannot post everything I pick up.But I thought these were kind of neat.

Some recent arrivals and the pics I promised of the backs of the All Star cards.

were terrible miscut cards.But it has since been confirmed that it is a legitimate variation. On the front of the card the black will run all the way to the bottom with no white boarder on the bottom. Do a search on eBay and you can easily see what I mean.Also check the very high asking prices on these cards as compared to the regular AS cards. |

I purchased this Black Bottom Bobby Orr a few years ago. It is, however, the only one I have. |
I have had them all at one point in time.Once I knew about the variation I would buy everyone
I seen at shows or flea markets.The only one I have left is Jacques Laperriere. https://i.postimg.cc/5tQgnrDQ/22a.jpg |
Interesting stuff, will have to keep my eyes open for those

Happy to finish the year with an Orr item I have been waiting to add to the collection, a 1966 Oshawa Generals Premium. Hard to believe that it's a highest graded as a PSA 1.5. Also added a junior hockey program featuring Bobby Orr and the Oshawa Generals along with a ticket to one of Orr's final Junior Hockey games. Can't wait to see what the new year brings.

It is interesting that there are four future Boston Bruins in that program. Along with Orr there are Cashman and Beverly with Oshawa and Ace Bailey with Edmonton. |
Not a new pick up but I figured some here would like stuff like this. A menu from Bobby Orr's Pizza Parlor. Very few around as they are very thin and tear very easily.

Thanks for sharing. I was only 7 in 71 so maybe that's why I don't remember there being one here but, I guess I'll have to ask my dad to see if we ever went? https://forums.hfboards.com/threads/...-1971.2916578/ |

It was a really good day at the show. Some of the “haul” below. While I am not a Leafs fan, I couldn’t pass up the Mahovlich number match (27/99) card. I could make that available for the right trade if anyone is interested.

Nice pick ups, Anthony!

1970/71 Dad’s Cookies Bob Clarke. Same year as his rookie at a fraction of the price. :)

Eric,
Nice pickup. The Perreault and Park are also in the set as "alternative" rookie cards to their OPC/Topps. |

It generally makes pickups like these so cheap they can be impulse purchases. |

A small lot of '80s Flyers cards arrived in the mail yesterday. Nothing high-value; however, they bring me straight back to my youth. Ideally, that's why we collect, right?
|
This to just let anyone know that may be interested in a 1970 OPC Bobby Orr black bottom all-star card
that there is one on eBay right now and I believe someone may be going to get a great buy on the card. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/235925758548 |

First card I have posted in a while.
A Wyatt Johnston 3 color patch auto RC that I've been coveting for a long time now. Not this particular one, anyone, but this one fit the bill. 33/49. First time a card I've ever purchased that went for eBay authentication. I always thought, but, I was wrong, obviously, that the auth was only for cards over $300 (this one wasn't) and they had to be graded. I also didn't think, especially this one being raw and only $200 dollars, that a CDN buying off a fellow CDN that this card would apply/count as a eBay requirement. All new to me. Was concerned/worried, because these cards are sensitive to damage being so thick, that changing hands so many times and being shipped to the other side of he country/Americas it would get damaged but, thankfully, it arrived safe and sound in a very nice, well protected case from eBay. |
Very nice!
I have a friend who's a big fan of Wyatt and I happily picked him up as a free agent in fantasy hockey - good subject, good card. |

I also really like Wyatt Johnston and have been following him for a while now and collecting many of his cards along the way. I have some signed cards, patch cards, an Exclusives Young Guns, Canvas black and white Young Guns, etc, but never a patch/auto combined card. At only 21 yrs of age, his upside is huge, imo. Glad to scratch that one off the list. |
Irv - great selection of cards as usual
