The most valuable rookie card by far in the set is that of Mike Bossy of the New York Islanders. Other significant RC’s include Dave Taylor, Doug Wilson, Brian Sutter and Randy Carlyle.
The number 300 card in the 1978-79 OPC set commemorates the great National Hockey League career of Bobby Orr, a career that came to a premature end due to knee injuries. That card is the second most valuable in the set behind the Bossy rookie card.
