Three 396-card O-Pee-Chee sets are up for grabs here and showcase the rookie cards of the Hall of Famers in our title, plus numerous others, with Wayne Gretzky showing up multiple times in each. A pronounced curvature to the cards throughout the lot should be mentioned right away, with however hardly a crease spotted in a 1981-82 assembly and very little below EX-MT; NM-or-better cards are abundant and the centering of the keys, as you can see from our images, is overall rather pleasing, with light toning on the backs observed in the white sections. Very little handling/wear/creases is again to report with an ’83-84 set (mostly EX-MT to NM-MT characteristics) but toning to the edges and on the backs stands out and brown spots, at times, make their way onto the borders on the fronts. As for an ’84-85 ensemble, edge dinginess and light toning on the backs is to mention, along with rather frequent corner touches and light dings, a couple of the latter dropping the Steve Yzerman RC to EX. Stevie Y’s Rookie Scoring Leader card is creased, while Doug Gilmour’s RC has rough left and right edges and is otherwise EX-MT. Neely (EX+) and Chelios (EX) rookies are also noteworthy, as is 243-Gretzky (EX-MT (OC)). A possible flattening out project and some decisions await you here.
