1972-73 O-Pee-Chee & Topps

This is one of the goofier looking hockey card releases, but a step or two above the 1971-72 design. Looks like the teams on either side of the border intentionally avoided using the same number for any card.

More challenging than collecting all of the Bruins cards was collecting all of the checklist cards in unmarked condition – including multiple errors, a problem throughout the 1970s.
