Description
A classic 1977-78 Topps Hockey 'Assist Leaders' card features three legendary Hall of Famers: Brian Trottier (Islanders), Guy Lafleur (Canadiens), and Darryl Sittler (Maple Leafs). The card features three individual portraits against vertical rectangular frames with the NHL shield prominently displayed at the top left and bold red/blue text.
Key Features
Features three iconic Hall of Fame players on a single card. Part of the popular 1977-78 Topps design. High-demand vintage set for hockey collectors, specifically featuring Guy Lafleur during his peak era.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. The printing pattern, ink soak on the card stock, and natural aging of the paper are consistent with late 70s Topps issues. No signs of modern reprints or digital pixelation.
Flaws to Note
Slight whitening on corners, particularly the bottom left. Minor edge chipping typical of 1970s Topps stock. Centering is decent but slightly shifted to the left.

Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card due to the high volume of vintage hockey buyers. COMC is also a great option for low-to-mid grade vintage raw cards.
Selling Tips
Due to current grading costs ($20+), this card should only be graded if you believe it is a flawless PSA 8 or higher. For raw sales, take high-resolution scans of both front and back. Use keywords: 'Hall of Fame', 'Islanders', 'Canadiens', 'Maple Leafs', and 'Vintage Hockey'.
