1970-71 O-Pee-Chee
Gilbert Perreault Rookie #131 - Buffalo Sabres HOF - PR
Available now at Alex Collect: a genuine 1970-71 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) #131 Gilbert Perreault Rookie Card.
This iconic "High Series" card is a must-have for Buffalo Sabres set builders and vintage hockey investors. Released in limited quantities during the 1970-71 expansion season, this #131 rookie features the legendary "French Connection" center in his very first professional appearance. Despite its distressed vintage character—including rounded corners and surface staining—the card remains unmarked on the reverse, preserving the original 1969-70 Junior "A" stats and the classic scouting report that compares a young Perreault to Jean Beliveau.
This original O-Pee-Chee production is a perfect "entry-level" piece for collectors who value authenticity and rarity over mint perfection. It represents a piece of hockey history from the era when Perreault took the league by storm, winning the Calder Trophy and becoming the first-ever draft pick for the Buffalo franchise.
