Manufactured in Canada, this authentic 1969-70 O-Pee-Chee card features the beloved stick-and-puck motif framing a sharp portrait of Boudrias. Vintage cards from this series have built-in demand due to their beautiful retro aesthetics and the distinct cardboard stock utilized by O-Pee-Chee during the late sixties. Andre Boudrias, affectionately known as "The Super Pest" or "Andy," was an incredibly gifted center. While he played an important role for the St. Louis Blues during their early playoff runs, he would later go on to become the historic first true superstar and captain for the Vancouver Canucks, setting franchise scoring records. This card captures him right as he was establishing his foothold as a premier point producer in the NHL. The card presents beautifully with great eye appeal. Corners show minor touching at the tips. The borders are clean, and the printing registration is sharp. Front centering looks well-proportioned. On the reverse, the O-Pee-Chee bilingual back is bright and exceptionally well-preserved. There are no signs of surface creases, wax stains, or ink marks, providing a great candidate for a raw set upgrade. Grade Estimate: EX 5
