Jean Ratelle is a Hall of Fame center and member of the NHL Top 100.  In his 21 seasons in the NHL, he averaged nearly one point per game.  At the time of his retirement, he was 6th on the all-time scoring list.

Below is a look at some of Jean Ratelle’s career accomplishments and highlights.

  • 2x Lady Byng Trophy Award Winner
  • 1x All-Star
  • 1,267 career points

Jean Ratelle’s rookie card is in the 1961 Topps set.  Throughout the years, he has been very hit or miss TTM.  I was fortunate to get him once on a lower end card but always wanted to upgrade.  I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it into a paid signing.  The card look stunning signed with his HOF and career points inscriptions.
