1980 O Pee Chee Bruins Card Back Appraisal

1980 O-Pee-Chee Boston Bruins Hockey Trading Card (Back)

This item is the reverse side of a vintage 1980 O-Pee-Chee hockey trading card, featuring biographical and statistical information about a Boston Bruins player drafted in 1979. The card is predominantly yellow with a green top border and green rectangular sections for text. The card number '140' is visible within a white puck-shaped graphic in the upper left corner. Details include player height (5'11"), weight (197 lbs), shooting hand (left), first pro season (1979-80), acquisition method (Via Draft), birthdate (12-28-60), and birthplace/home (Montreal, Quebec). There's a bilingual description of the player's skills, noting their puck-handling, skating, and poise. A stat line for the 1979-80 season shows 80 games played, 17 goals, 48 assists, 65 points, and 73 penalty minutes. The bottom edge includes the copyright '© 1980 O-PEE-CHEE PRINTED IN CANADA'. A small graphic on the right depicts hockey sticks and a puck, with text about a Bruins' NHL record. The card shows general wear consistent with its age, including slight rounding of corners and some visible surface dirt or light discoloration, particularly along the edges and in the yellow background. The print quality appears standard for the era, with clear, legible text. No significant damage like creases or tears are overtly visible, suggesting a good, but not necessarily mint, vintage condition. Its craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced trading cards from the early 1980s.
