A quest for high grade 1974-75 O-Pee-Chee cards over the years has led to this offering, with OPC's effort that season featuring a then-record 396 cards which included, for the first time, team photo/checklist cards and team leaders. This intriguing assembly features 112 that have merited NM-MT 8 or better grades from PSA, with the condition leader being one MINT 9; #349-Greg Boddy. Eight others have MINT characteristics, along with (OC) qualifiers; 9-Francis, 21-Shero RC, 181-Mohns, 188-Stackhouse, 264-Irvine, 291-Oliver and team cards of the Bruins (350) Rangers (370). .....A couple of NM-MT+ 8.5s are present; 301-MacAdam RC and 341-Rolfe and then it's on to the big batch of (101) NM-MT 8s. Most notable are rookie cards of 11-Davidson , 304-Middleton and 353-Resch, along with 40-Sittler, 45-Herron RC, 53-Savard, 69-Hawks Leaders, 88-Hammarstrom RC, 141-Rangers Ldrs, 145-Ratelle, 147-Geoffrion, 154-Flyers Ldrs, 170-T.

Of 15 overall duplicates are four 8s that are aforementioned MINT 9s (OC); Francis, Shero RC, Stackhouse and Bruins CL. Fourteen of the NM-MT 8 lineup have qualifiers, including 50-Park (OC). ......Meanwhile, NM 7 contributors total 41, including Hall of Famers 25-Perreault, 70-Lapointe, 135-Clarke All-Star, 138-Parent AS, 235-Vachon, 236-Ullman and 239-Bucyk, as well as RCs of 292-Paiement and 297-Larocque, a team checklist (315-Blackhawks) and the last card 396-Bladon RC. .....Completing is one NM+ 7.5 (221-Marcotte), one EX-MT+ 6.5 (347-D. Grant RC), a dozen at EX-MT 6, seven EX 5s (54-Checklist, 72-Dionne, 131-Park AS), four at VG-EX 4 and 11 duplicates, the latter in miscellaneous grades. Much to decipher and consider with this encapsulated stash, with kudos to our consignor for taking good care of the holders themselves. Enhancements to a slabbed '74-75 O-Pee-Chee project await!
