Over the weekend, Lelands auction house sold one of the world’s rarest modern era hockey cards and the highest graded example for $204,000. The 1966-67 Bobby Orr Topps USA Test card, which belonged to a private collector, is the only mint PSA 9 (on a scale of one to ten). The sale serves as a reminder of what a profitable investment special hockey cards can be and how enduring the popularity of the legendary Orr is. [Gordie] Howe, Orr, and Gretzky are the immortals of the vintage hockey market, pursued by virtually all blue chip investors. But rarity is not the only factor in the test card’s high value.
