Patrick Roy O-Pee-Chee Rookie Blank Back.... Just really a BS wax box top cutout right?

Saw this listing for a Blank Back Patrick Roy O-Pee-Chee Rookie. Looking at the smooth edges on the card and from a post I saw once upon a time, pretty sure this is just a BS wax box top cutout right?
Since it is a Probstein listing, of course there is no pic of the back to see the card stock.
Thoughts?

The OPC box did have a full unobstructed Roy card on it, unlike the Topps box. If I recall, the Topps box had the full card shown and was also unobstructed, but there was a fold spot for a spot that was meant to fold when the box was opened and displayed.
There’s a market for on box cards and PSA grades many, including these. That card is from the front cover of 1986 O-P-C Hockey Box; there’s four more on the bottom of the boxes and I think the most desirable quartet is Jari Kurri, Tim Kerr, Michael Goulet and Wayne Gretzky.
Hope it helps...

There are 1986 OPC blank back proofs as well. (There are several on eBay.) I do not know if the one you’ve listed is one of those or from the box top.
By the look of the tilt on the left edge I would say it is a Box Top
