1971 Topps #125 Stan Mikita PSA 8 - A Gorgeous Tribute to a Black Hawks King

A decade into his Hall of Fame career, Stan Mikita remained one of the smartest and most complete centers the game had ever seen. Known for his creativity, elite passing, and trademark curved stick blade, Mikita was both a fan favorite and a tactician on the ice. By 1971, he had already secured two Hart Trophies, four scoring titles, and a Stanley Cup championship, all while playing with a level of sportsmanship that earned him two Lady Byng Trophies as well. Few players in NHL history have combined intelligence, toughness, and offensive vision the way Mikita did.

This PSA 8 example from the colorful and condition-sensitive 1971 Topps set presents with rich color, crisp image quality, and clean edges, with overall eye appeal that makes it stand out in the grade. The bold design of the ’71 issue pairs well with Mikita’s confident portrait, and centering is well above average for this notoriously off-center release. Cards of this caliber featuring original six legends continue to be highly sought after.

A sharp, vintage piece of one of the game’s all-time greats, this card offers a snapshot of Stan Mikita’s legacy during the twilight of his brilliant career—an essential addition for serious collectors of 1970s hockey or Chicago Blackhawks royalty.
