Not that there was ever a time when Bobby Orr wasnt popular but it sure seems like Bobby Orr mania has taken full flight . In the past week or so we had a 1971 OPC # 245 PSA 9 1 of 2 sell for $2000. then another card from 69-70 OPC high series PSA 10 1/1(there are a ton of 9's of this card) sell for $2500. Over and above these 2 cards prices have been much stronger for all Orr cards
Do you think this is registry driven with guys building Orr collections but havent registered them yet

I sold the 71 opc double trophy for 2,000.00 and the
69 All Star psa 10 for 2,500.00
I sold a nice PSA 8 rookie for 5,450.00 last week too.
I thought that was a steal for the buyer too.
Bobby has always sold well on ebay. However, the prices
on his rare cards are somewhat disrespectful when
compared to Mantle. What would a fourth year Mickey Mantle PSA 10 sell for ? Over 10 grand ?
Forget Mantle, how about a seventh year Yastremski
PSA 9 1/2 selling for 2,300.00 last month.
Then a fifth year PSA 9 1/2 (probably the nicest Orr card layout on
the planet) sells for 2,000.00 and people are shocked ?
I think some hockey card buyers live back in the 80's
when it comes to buying and selling RARE Orr cards.
I've also seen on these boards how 1975 topps baseball collectors
are "shocked" at some of the prices people are paying for
PSA 9 Yount and Brett rookies. The people who have bought in the
past have to understand that prices continue to go up as more
collectors enter the PSA world. These older collectors think these new collectors are foolish
for paying such high prices.
I don't think this is a set registry thing because the two guys who bought the
71 double trophy and Orr AS PSA 10 do not participate on the registry.
So in my opinion, those who still want to spend pennies
on quality Bobby Orr cards may have a hard time finishing collections.
It's about time Bobby is getting the respect he deserves in
the hobby.

The recent prices being paid makes Wallinga's purchase from Scerb last April an absolute steal
Hockey set! Always looking to buy, trade or upgrade 1966 Topps to 1969 OPC.

the card was wicked dude
As we both know, PSA graded the card a 9.
They properly slabbed it MINT 9, not 8.
As we both also know, many of the wax pack
Dryden's, LaFluers, and Orr's from that year
have the slant cut.
Some of my nicest parkhurst cards have the
slant "cement mixer" cut on them.
Many of us in the hobby not only accept this,
we love it, because it is the way the cards were printed.
I wish you could have seen this Orr card in person,
you would understand why it had such a high reserve.

If you know where these cards exist with MINT 9
corners, 55/45 centering, opc butterknife wax cut, and no slant, get them
graded, you'll make lots of money. Most of these
double trophy cards are 70/30 at best.

Congrats on getting $1500 for your Orr card . I wish you had been a little greedier i would like to have seen how high this could of gone. You owe Mickey a very nice Christmas gift
I wish vegas was taking odds on my prediction.

As of the end of the 2010–11 season:
First and only defenceman to score nine hat tricks
First defenceman to score 30 goals (1969–70) and 40 goals in a season (1974–75)in a season.
First player to record 100 assists in a season (1970–71)
Only defenceman to lead the league in scoring (1969–70, 1974–75)
Only player ever to win the Norris Trophy, Art Ross Trophy, Hart Trophy, and Conn Smythe Trophy in one season (1969–70)
Second all-time in career plus-minus rating (+597) (retired as the overall leader)
Fourth in league history in career point-per-game average, all-time, (1.393) (highest among defensemen)
Fifty-ninth overall in league history in career assists and 90th in career points
It needs to be Orr Vs, Ruth
Mantle was great. popular but simply not the best all time.
I have always said and always will say Orr was simply the best all time.
His cards are worth every penny.
I have been noticing cards of Beliveau going strong
