Description

1969-70 O-Pee-Chee John McKenzie #28 Boston Bruins (VG-EX) Add a fan favorite to your vintage collection with this 1969-70 O-Pee-Chee John McKenzie #28. Known affectionately as "Pie," McKenzie was the fearless, undersized winger who played far bigger than his frame and became one of the most beloved characters of the Big Bad Bruins dynasty. This card captures him during his prime as a genuine offensive contributor on one of the greatest teams in franchise history. John McKenzie's achievements are substantial. A two-time Stanley Cup champion with Boston in 1970 and 1972, he was an NHL Second Team All-Star and a consistent point producer who thrived alongside superstar linemates. A former rodeo rider before hockey, "Pie" brought relentless energy and grit, and after his Bruins years he became a marquee name and captain in the WHA. His cards remain popular with Bruins collectors chasing the complete Cup-era roster. This is an authentic O-Pee-Chee card printed in Canada, and the reverse showcases the classic bilingual English/French biography and cartoon collectors associate with the O-Pee-Chee brand — a clear point of difference from the American Topps issue. A nice mid-grade copy with good eye appeal. Centering is respectable. Corners display light-to-moderate wear with some fraying and whitening, strongest at the top corners. Edges are generally clean with only minor chipping expected for the era. The surface is bright and glossy with strong color and no major creases or wrinkles visible in the scan, aside from routine handling specks. The bilingual O-Pee-Chee back is clean and well-centered with no writing. Grade Estimate: VG-EX 4
