Bobby Hull — \"The Golden Jet,\" one of the most physically gifted and imposing players in the history of hockey, the Chicago Blackhawks left wing who redefined the slap shot with triple-digit velocity, the player who jumped to the WHA and changed professional hockey's economic landscape — appears on this 1979-80 Topps card, PSA-certified at 3 VERY GOOD. Authentic. Vintage. The legend in paper.

Bobby Hull's physical gifts were legendary: a skating speed that earned him the \"Golden Jet\" nickname from observers who struggled to process his acceleration, and a slap shot measured at over 118 miles per hour in an era before modern tracking technology existed to measure it with precision — the hardest shot in the game, a weapon that goalies feared and that changed how the position of left wing was defined. The 1979-80 Topps card documents Hull near the end of his career, having returned to NHL competition with the Hartford Whalers after his historic WHA tenure.

In June 1972, Hull shocked the hockey world by signing with the Winnipeg Jets of the newly formed World Hockey Association for $2.75 million — then the largest contract in professional hockey history, a deal that gave the WHA credibility and forced the NHL to dramatically raise player salaries to prevent further defections. Hull's seven seasons in Winnipeg were some of the most dominant of his career, winning multiple WHA MVP awards and leading the Jets to three WHA championships before the league merged with the NHL in 1979. The 1979-80 Topps card captures Hull in his post-WHA return to NHL competition. Hockey Hall of Fame: 1983.
