Really nice game used stick from Bobby Orr with this type Victoriaville being used during the 1974 playoffs and the following 1974-75 season. The graphics changed at the end of the 1973 season to this more dynamic type font more easily seen by TV audiences and fans in the stands. 4 Orr faded in red stamping on the upper shaft near the butt end tape with a period signature, to Robbie Best of Luck Bobby Orr. This stick was given to Frank St. Marseilles son for his Birthday, as Frank was playing for the LA Kings during this time. Period signatures on Orr sticks are rare and hard to find and this autograph, although personalized, is done really well. It shows perfect game use with Orr's later career tape job on the knob, puck marks all over the blade and shaft with the one strand of tape missing from the blade as this style was used sparingly during this era. The photos show Orr using this style Victoriaville playing the Flyers in the playoffs and the other photos are from 74-75. Just an amazing piece of lumber from the defenceman who changed the game forever.  Bobby Orr, a 1979 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, won the Calder Trophy as the top rookie in the NHL in 1966-67; the Norris Trophy as the best defenseman in the League eight times (still a record) in eight seasons, from 1967-68 through 1974-75; the Art Ross Trophy as the top scorer in the NHL in 1969-70 and 1974-75, the only defenseman ever to win it; the Hart Trophy as League MVP in 1969-70, 1970-71 and 1971-72; and the Conn Smythe in both Stanley Cup-winning seasons as the MVP of the playoffs. Add to those honors his MVP award at the 1976 Canada Cup, his nine points having led that tournament. And then there was "The Goal," immediately a proper noun in Boston, that Orr scored 40 seconds into overtime of Game 4 of the 1970 Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues. Tripped by Blues defenseman Noel Picard, Orr took flight in front of St. Louis goalie Glenn Hall an instant after having scored the Cup winner, arms outstretched, howling with joy. He was frozen in midair in what would become one of hockey's most famous photographs, his flight immortalized in a statue outside Boston's TD Garden.
