These 6 hockey cards represent my biggest sports card transaction EVER. I never thought I would be lucky enough to own a Topps Test Bobby Orr RC, but it feels great to own one of the best hockey cards ever made! A big thank you to fellow member Frozencaribou for making these available. A top-notch transaction from the BEST hockey card collector I've ever had the pleasure of talking with! Here are links to the cards, if someone could help me post these pics that would be great.

    Thanks, Jeff! Like others have been saying in the ongoing B/S/T thread, in our community there still are guys that deal the old fashioned way, through trust and mutual respect. In the hockey card community, we have a lot of great people and I'm happy to be a part of it. Since I've already uploaded the cards I sold to photobucket I'll share the scans of the main components of the deal too...

    << <i>Topps Hockey as a whole really does get a bad wrap in the card collecting world >>



    True, but I think that's because aside from 1965, 1961-1967 (a golden age in Topps baseball) are pretty ordinary. But 54, 57-60, and 68-71 hockey are some of the best looking sets Topps ever produced.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Fanta$$$$$$tic Card$$$!!!!!

    What, no 10 on Roy? image


    While the Orr is amazing, the one that makes me green with envy is the 1954 Howe.

    Congratulations!
