Upper Deck Inks All-Time Hockey Great Bobby Orr to Autographed Memorabilia Deal

New Collection Gives Access to Never-Before-Seen Authentic Signed Memorabilia Featuring the Iconic Hall of Fame Defenseman

CARLSBAD, Ca. (August 4, 2020) - Bobby Orr’s career in the NHL lasted just 12 seasons, but his legacy as of one of the greatest defensemen of all time carries on to this day. Now fans who watched his Hall of Fame exploits on the ice more than four decades ago can share in the excellence he brought to the game, thanks to a new autographed memorabilia deal with Upper Deck, the premier global sports and entertainment collectibles company.

“Bobby Orr is an icon in the hockey world,” said Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck. “He fits perfectly alongside the company’s roster of all-time greats, including Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, LeBron James, Patrick Roy and Serena Williams.”

Orr scored 270 goals in 657 NHL® games with the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks, leading the Bruins to the Stanley Cup® Final three times and hoisting the most coveted trophy in sports in 1970 and 1972. A three-time league MVP who was named the NHL’s best defenseman for a record eight times, Orr was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979.

Among the most unique items in Upper Deck’s exclusive Orr collection is an impressive three-foot square ‘Tegata’ framed collage, inspired by a Japanese style of art featuring an athlete’s actual handprint as the centerpiece. The company has created a limited run numbered to just 50 of these showstoppers, which are currently available at upperdeckstore.com/bobby-orr.

The portfolio also includes a never-before-seen, dual-signed ‘Unmatched’ piece featuring Gretzky and Orr showing off their stick handling skills in full vibrant color, set against a sepia tone backdrop of the dynamic duo hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup™ in tandem. This striking, gold-signed limited-edition piece is sure to be the highlight of any hockey legends collection.

Even more rare are multi-signed pieces autographed by three legendary hockey icons; Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky and Patrick Roy, releasing later this year. Fans can view the new Orr collection, including autographed black home and white road versions of Orr’s Heroes of Hockey alumni Bruins sweater, starting today at upperdeckstore.com/bobby-orr.
