1971-72 O-Pee-Chee Pete Stemkowski #217 New York Rangers (EX-MT 6) Celebrate a legendary New York fan favorite with this excellent 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee Pete Stemkowski #217 card. Known affectionately to hockey fans as "Stemmer," Pete Stemkowski earned immortality in New York Rangers lore by scoring multiple dramatic, double-overtime game-winning goals during the thrilling 1971 Stanley Cup playoffs. This card captures him right after those historic playoff heroics, making it a highly sentimental and sought-after piece for Broadway Blueshirts collectors. The front features a smiling portrait of Stemkowski in the white Rangers uniform against a brilliant green circular frame backdrop. On the reverse, the O-Pee-Chee bilingual back offers text in both official languages detailing his marathon playoff performances alongside a classic cartoon revealing his off-season job as a radio disc jockey. This card is perfect for vintage set builders, team collectors, or anyone who appreciates the rich character and personality of 1970s hockey heroes. This card is an outstanding raw example with great structural integrity. There are absolutely no creases or micro-wrinkles present across either the front or the back faces. The centering on the front slightly favors the upper right border, but it maintains very nice overall framing. The white borders are bright, clean, and free of print spots. The corners show remarkably minor wear, remaining crisp and defined with just a hint of typical soft aging at the extreme tips. The factory edges are clean with virtually no chipping. The reverse side features rich, uniform green ink tones with crisp, unblurred text. Grade Estimate: EX-MT 6
