Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2015
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/17/2015
O-Pee-Chee cards from the mid-1970s star here and overall are quite attractive/appealing. A rookie card-laden ’74-75 near set features mostly EX to NM cards, with lesser cards/exceptions leading to an EX average. A Cherry RC, a checklist and three others are missing for completion. A complete ’75-76 ensemble improves to EX-MT, with many NM and better cards present, along with “traded” variations. One checklist and one team checklist are marked. An EX-MT Bryan Trottier RC leads a rather sharp complete set from ’76-77 (NM average), while a 132-card WHA set from the same year features mostly pack-fresh cards, with however poor centering hampering a marked portion. A wrapper accompanies the WHA group, with a ’75-76 NHL wrapper also present. Info on a second near set from ’75-76, along with further details of the above, on our website.
The second group of ’75-76 cards is missing the four checklists, 240-Tony Esposito and 290-Lafleur All-Star for completion and typically is not as nice as the complete set. A “filler” Dryden, some marked team checklists and a VG-EX average are to mention. To be aware of in the ’74-75 near set are the RCs of McDonald (G+) and Bowman (G), while we spot a small crease in the ’76-77 Bobby Orr, sending it to VG+. Standard intermittent less-than-perfect OPC centering is also notable throughout, but all-in-all, these cards are in nice collectible condition and offer numerous possibilities.
