1971 Topps #100 Bobby Orr PSA 8 - A Legendary Scorer from an Iconic Set

In the 1970–71 season, Bobby Orr was operating at a level the sport had never seen from a defenseman. He posted a staggering 139 points, including a then-record 102 assists, leading the NHL in both categories while anchoring the Bruins’ blue line. That same year, he claimed his fourth straight Norris Trophy and added another Hart Trophy to his collection, further cementing his status as the most dominant two-way force in hockey. Orr wasn’t just changing games—he was changing the game, singlehandedly rewriting the role of the modern defenseman.

This PSA 8 example from the colorful and condition-sensitive 1971 Topps set showcases Orr in the thick of his prime. The card features sharp corners, strong registration, and vibrant color, all wrapped in the full-bleed black borders that make this issue so tough to find in top condition. The centering on this example is strong for the grade, and surface clarity is excellent—making it a standout within this notoriously challenging release.

A true cornerstone from one of Orr’s greatest statistical seasons, this card is a high-grade tribute to the most transformative player in hockey history. An essential piece for any serious vintage hockey collection or collector focused on the golden era of Bruins dominance.
