The highest valued card in the 1968-69 O-Pee-Chee set is the number 2 card, belonging to Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins. The top valued rookie card belongs to Bernie Parent of the Philadelphia Flyers. Parent was the number one goalie for the Boston Bruins in 1965-66 but Topps failed to produce a hockey card with Parent’s face on the front.
Other important rookie cards in the 1968-69 O-Pee-Chee set belong to Danny Grant, Mickey Redmond, Garry Unger, Bob Plager and Les Binkley.
The Topps sister set has a very similar design with a slight difference in colour scheme on the back. Also, of course, the Topps cards lack anything in French. The 1968-69 Topps set consists of just 132 hockey cards and a full collection is valued at about a third of a full collection of O-Pee-Chee cards.
I’m looking to purchase the complete set of 1968-69 O-Pee-Chee NHL cards. The set must be is excellent to near mint condition.
Thanks!
