1978-79 O-Pee-Chee NHL

mike bossy rookie hockey card 1978-79 o-pee-chee new york islandersThe 1978-79 O-Pee-Chee NHL set consists of 396 hockey cards. The Topps version comes in short at just 264 cards. This is the last NHL set before the World Hockey Association merger and the last set before the Wayne Gretzky era.

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.
