Card History & Player Achievements
The 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee hockey set is revered by collectors, but the booklets remain some of the most difficult inserts to find in decent condition. Bobby Hull is the focal point of the set as booklet #1. During his tenure with Chicago, Hull secured a Stanley Cup in 1961 and won three Art Ross Trophies. His impact on the game is immortalized here in this charming, narrative-driven format that predates the modern "chase card" era.
