I've always preferred the 1968-69 OPC #2 Bobby Orr card over any of his other cards, including his rookie. I like the design and the combination of action and posed pictures on the card. It is a very tough card to find in high grade. Pop 5 in an 8 with only 3 9's. I finally got an 8. Hard to believe it took my almost a decade of constant searching and bidding to finally land this.

Thanks for looking.

    Beautiful card, Nathanael. Very tough, I know; commonly off-center and prone to tilt. Congrats on the monster pick-up.

    Thanks, guys. 1968 OPC isn't all that tough to locate, but some of the cards are almost impossible to find centered. I'm happy I can stop looking for this card now. I had actually given up and thought my 7 would have to suffice.

    Again, I appreciate the feedback.

    Wow, just an amazing card! The centering is so tough on those. Great pick-up.

    Fantastic card!

    Would love to see a back side scan. The backside color from this issue - I love!

    Congrats!

    Here's the back. I'm always impressed when people show off their rare and high grade stuff here, so I'm happy to contribute. Even if it is mostly the hockey collectors that can appreciate the scarcity of this one.

    Great pick up. One of Orr's toughest cards in high grade.

    I love the Orr RC, but it's just not a card I'm likely to own right now. I chose the 68 as well. It's such a cool card and yours is so nice. Great pickup.

    Congrats

    Congrats on a great pickup! The ones that take a long time to acquire are always special. Nice card!!
