Description
A vintage 1975-76 Topps hockey card featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins team statistical leaders for the previous season. The card displays two portraits each of Jean Pronovost (Goals, Power Play Goals) and Ron Schock (Assists, Points) in their classic blue and white Penguins jerseys. The center banner features the vintage Penguins triangle logo.

Vintage 1970s Topps design; featuring Jean Pronovost who was the first Penguin to score 50 goals; iconic Pittsburgh Penguins 'Smoking Penguin' era logo.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock shows correct age-appropriate oxidation (browning on reverse); the 'halftone' print pattern in the player portraits is consistent with Topps 1970s printing technology.
Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right centering issues (very thin left border); rounding of the four corners; surface snow/print defects typical of mid-70s Topps; minor edge wear on the bottom left.

Selling Tips
This card is best sold as part of a 1975 Topps set-building lot or a Pittsburgh Penguins team lot. Professional grading is not recommended as the cost of the service far outweighs the market value of the card in this condition.
