The Hall of Famer’s RC has a microscopic gem rate of 1.1%, with just 36 of the 3,153 examples assessed by the service earning a PSA 10 holder.

Considering his reputation with fans and collectors, plenty of bidders will be patrolling the blue line of this month’s Premier Auction with the goal of netting this beautiful Bourque RC.
