1971-72 Topps Hockey Booklet # 2 Phil Esposito (HOF) - Boston Bruins (EX/NM)

Description: 1971-72 Topps Hockey Booklet # 2 Phil Esposito (HOF) - Boston Bruins (EX/NM) 1970-1979 Hockey CardsMore big names made their debut in 1970s hockey card sets and the decade has proven to be very popular with collectors. The main products were offered by Topps and O-Pee-Chee, abbreviated as OPC. While the look of OPC and Topps cards are very similar, OPC cards are usually more valuable. The decade also features OPC cards for a competing league to the NHL, the World Hockey Association (WHA).One big name owned the hobby among 1970-1979 hockey cards. Wayne Gretzky, also known as “The Great One,” is still one of the top hockey icons for collectors, and his rookie card is revered in much the same way as Michael Jordan’s rookie card is for basketball collectors.Other notable rookie cards include Bryan Trottier, Gilbert Perreault, Darryl Sittler, Guy Lafleur, Mark Howe, Marcel Dionne, Doug Wilson, Ken Dryden, Bob Clarke, and Denis Potvin.1971-72 Topps Hockey Booklet Trading SetThe 1971-72 Topps Booklet Trading set consist of 24 booklets. They were issued as inserts in the 1971-72 Topps regular sets. The front of the booklet has a caricature of the "Player" inside a five sided star, surrounded by a yellow border. The caption reads, The "Player" Story above the player image and the booklet number across the bottom. Each booklet has a five page comic book style biography of the player. The back of the booklet has a Hockey Booklet Checklist of all 24 booklets. How We Grade: Gem Mint (GMT): (10.0) A flawless card. To be in Gem Mint condition, a card’s borders must have a ratio of 50/50 side to side and top to bottom. Mint (MT): (9.0-9.5) A perfect card. Well-centered with parallel borders which appear equal to the naked eye. Four sharp, square corners. No creases, edge dents, surface scratches, paper flaws, loss of luster, yellowing or fading, regardless of age. No imperfectly printed cards – out of register, badly cut or ink flawed – or card stained by contact with gum, wax or other substances can be considered truly Mint, even if new out of the pack. Generally, to be considered in Mint condition, a card’s borders must exist in a ratio of 60/40 side to side and top to bottom. Near Mint/Mint (NM/MT): (8.0-8.5) A super high-end card that appears Mint 9 at first glance, but upon closer inspection, may exhibit a very slight wax stain on reverse, slight fraying at one or two corners, or a minor printing imperfection. Centering must be app. 65/35 to 70/30 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Near Mint (NM): (7.0-7.5) A nearly perfect card at first glance, but upon closer inspection, may have slight surface wear, slight fraying on some corners, slightly out-of-register picture focus, a minor printing blemish or slight wax stain on reverse. Centering must be 70/30 to 75/25 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Excellent/Near Mint (EX/NM): (6.0-6.5) Card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect. A very light scratch. Corners may have slightly graduated fraying. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. Card may have minor wax stain on reverse, may have very slight nothing on edges. Centering must be 80/20 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Excellent (EX): (5.0-5.5) Corners are still fairly sharp with only moderate wear. Card borders may be off center as much as 85/15. No creases. May have very minor gum, wax or product stains, front or back. Surfaces may show slight loss of luster from rubbing across other cards. Dark bordered cards may have one or two small nicks. Very Good/Excellent (VG/EX): (4.0-4.5) Shows obvious handling, but still looks nice. Corners may be rounded or have minor creases. No major creases, tape marks or extraneous markings or writing. Surfaces does exhibit loss of luster, but the printing is intact. May have paper wrinkles. May show major gum, wax or other packaging stains. All four borders visible, though the ratio may be as poor as 95/5. Exhibits honest wear. Very Good (VG): (3.0-3.5) A well-worn card, but exhibits no intentional damage or abuse. May be “Mis-cut or Off-Center” with no border visible. May have major or multiple creases, however, creases are not so deep as to show the underlying paper. This card is completely readable, has not been written on, and has no tape marks or holes. Corner rounding may extend well beyond the border. Good (GD) (2.0-2.5) Shows excessive wear, along with damage or abuse. Will show all the wear characteristics of a Very Good card, along with such damage as thumb tack holes in or near margins, evidence of having been taped or pasted, perhaps small tears around the edges or creases so heavily as to break the cardboard. Backs may show minor added pen or pencil writing or be missing small bits of paper. Still basically a complete card. Poor (P): (1.0-1.5) A card that has been tortured to death. Corners or other areas may be torn off. Card may have been trimmed, show holes from a paper punch or have been used for BB gun practice. Front may have extraneous pen or pencil writing, or other defacement. Major portions of front or back design may be missing. Not a pretty sight.
