That card is sweet

Here's a 1984-85 MJ rookie year pocket schedule.

Landed one of my white whales. I'm a huge Boston Bruins fan and I've wanted an example of this card for years and finally managed to snag one for the right price.

Nice pick up, Adam. I too am/was a huge Boston Bruins fan growing up (not so much lately) as being born and raised in Oshawa and the Generals being Boston's farm team, I guess it's in my blood. lol.

Bobby Orr, when I was an infant, played road hockey out in front of our house on Byng ave in Oshawa.
Regretfully, my Father never took pics or go his autograph.

On a side note, I acquired these Beehives from my Father and was happy to find a real signed Dit Clapper card. In all honesty I never knew how great of a player he was, but I am pretty happy to have this card now.

Although the 1988 Fleer Jordan is quite plentiful, it was difficult to find an example with near perfect centering.

I remember that Esposito card like it was yesterday, but unfortunately, it is long gone. Thankfully I kept my Howe though!

Great hockey! I love those 70/71 OPC AS and Award Winner cards, of course, that Richard is amazing. Thanks for sharing, don't see enough old hockey on here.

Sold this exact card (albeit raw at the time) right after the decision...I just couldn't stand the guy and being an Orlando Magic fan and having to deal with a loaded Heat team made it even worse. Turns out it was a bit of a short-sighted decision on my part but the opportunity to pick it back up was too enticing to pass up. Glad to have it back

Thanks. I had no intention of buying the Richard but Steve Verkman had a 25% off sale on his hockey-football-basketball cards at the show so I thought I might as well take a look. When I came across the card I was just floored. My scanner isn't very good so the image is somewhat darker than the actual card. It just popped out at me and demanded to be purchased. I will probably use a voucher and put it onto a PSA holder when I re-up my CC membership.

Picked up another nice O-Pee-Chee Gretzky RC today.

Here's a 1985 Jordan Nike Promo I picked up on ebay and a few Jordan cards from a recent PSA submission.
