Description

1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Red Berenson #123 Detroit Red Wings VG-EX 4 This second copy of Red Berenson from the 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee series is the budget friendly way to own the Red Baron, offering the same great image of the Detroit center in his road whites against the set's cheerful green backdrop with the winged wheel emblem at the lower right. All the design charm of the Canadian printing is present, from the vertical team lettering to the yellow name banner, and the bilingual reverse carries the legendary six goal game story that makes Berenson one of the most discussed players of his era. It is an ideal placeholder for set builders or a perfect second copy for fans of the Blues' greatest scoring night. That night is the headline on the reverse. The Red Baron holds the modern NHL record with six goals in one game in 1968, and the card adds the delightful detail that he once scored four goals in a single period, proof of a player who could get hot faster than almost anyone of his generation. The bilingual text traces his path through Montreal, New York, St. Louis, and Detroit, and notes his reputation as one of the fastest skaters in the game, while the printed career line of 530 games and 378 points backs up the legend with numbers. For collectors of Michigan hockey royalty, Blues history, or Red Wings scoring leaders, the card is a compact hall of fame plaque. this copy is honestly presented with a visible crease running across the card, accompanying light corner softness and mild edge wear on the tan borders, while the photo area otherwise stays glossy and the centering remains acceptable for the issue. The reverse confirms the Canadian O-Pee-Chee bilingual back rather than a puzzle back, with the two language text and cartoon fully legible despite the matching crease line on the back. Because a crease caps the ceiling under any conservative grading standard, the honest estimate is VG-EX 4, and the price is set accordingly so the buyer gets the legend at a working collector's price. This 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Red Berenson #123 is a smart, affordable pickup for legends collectors and set builders alike. Grade Estimate: VG-EX 4
