Description

1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Keith McCreary #25 Atlanta Flames NHL Hockey Add a piece of expansion history to your sports card collection with this 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee Keith McCreary card. Representing the freshman season of the Atlanta Flames, McCreary was selected in the 1972 NHL Expansion Draft to provide veteran leadership and reliable left-wing scoring. The front showcases a classic portrait of McCreary, while the back features the distinctive Canadian O-Pee-Chee bilingual back containing writeups and stat blocks printed in both English and French. Collectors prize these Canadian variants for their cultural uniqueness and lower production runs compared to their American Topps counterparts. This card serves as a reminder of the broad talent migration during the early 1970s hockey boom. Assessing the physical condition from the high-resolution imagery shows a solid raw survivor. Centering is quite strong for this particular vintage release, showing even borders all around. The edges remain relatively clean with only minimal factory paper fuzz visible. The corners show modest softening and light wear, but they avoid major blunting or severe splitting. The surface is free from any distracting spider creases, deep indentations, or pen marks, allowing the classic orange back to pop. This is a very clean mid-grade item ready for any team collector or set builder looking to lock down their early Flames roster. Grade Estimate: EX 5
