Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2017

We know, we know ….what some of you will be mumbling upon learning of the mega-offering here; “are you kidding me, 45 sets without the Gretzky rookie card??” Yes indeed folks, from one old hoarder to another blue border-loving entrepreneurial hobbyist these 1979-80 bricks will go. Ah, but how to describe the condition? Well, we can tell you that, in general, it is all over the board, and we mean all over. Now, the original “assembler” pulled the more important cards from each 395-card grouping and then sealed up the rest, hence the “brick” reference. By examining several of the “better card” groups, we discover some nice NM-or-better examples but also everything from P-F-G to VG to EX to EX-MT and so on and so forth. Some of the checklists and team checklists, the latter led by the Oilers logo which carries some weight/book value, are marked while others are unmarked. Other key/notable cards include legends Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull, in the twilight of their illustrious careers, and Mike Bossy’s second-year card. The rookie card lineup includes the first O-Pee-Chee cardboard appearances of Bobby Smith, Charlie Simmer, John Tonelli, Ken Linseman, Barry Melrose, Dave Semenko, Glen Hanlon, Don Maloney and others – how would you like 45 of each?! In summary, this is one huge grab bag that offers oodles of possibilities - lots of Gretzky rookie card holders wouldn’t mind acquiring the rest of the set if they haven’t already done so - and one that will keep the new owner busy for quite some time indeed.
