Patrick Roy is considered one of the greatest hockey goalies in NHL in history. Throughout his 17-year NHL career, he was regularly at the top of the league in saves, shutouts, and other statistics.

His rookie and early cards are very sought after and somewhat valuable. Let's take a look at some of these vintage Herschel Walker cards:

1986-87 O-Pee-Chee

The 1986-87 O-Pee-Chee Hockey set was made up of 264 cards. This is the most popular major-release Patrick Roy rookie card.

1986-87 Topps

The 1986-87 Topps Patrick Roy is nearly identical to his O-Pee-Chee card aside from the logo and the color of the cardstock. It is less valuable than the OPC rookie.

1985-86 Montreal Canadiens Postcards

An early Roy from a team set. These are called postcards, but the back of it doesn’t allow room for an address and message like a usable postcard would.

1986-87 O-Pee-Chee Sticker

This is Patrick Roy’s “regular” sticker from the set, but there are also two special foil stickers in this set. These stickers re great options for collectors seeking an inexpensive Roy rookie.
