Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction October 2016

Exhibiting moderate handling/wear is this group of O-Pee-Chee cards from 1970-71, an issue bolstered by multiple cards of Bobby Orr, Tony Esposito and other legends. VG-EX, VG-EX+ and EX cards dominate, with intermittent creases sending some to VG, with EX+ examples also present. Centering issues affect key (crease-free) rookie cards of Sittler and Clarke, the latter miscut and both otherwise VG-EX, while multiple light diagonal creases send Perreault to G+. The four Orr trophy winner cards are EX (2) and VG-EX+ (2), while Bobby’s regular card #2 is warped by an elastic band, similar to the first ten Bruins cards and otherwise VG-EX. The Orr All-Star card, Howe and the Esposito brothers are EX notables, with the Sawchuk Memorial an off-centered VG-EX+. A significant crease affects #50-Hull (G+), with two of each checklist curiously present, showing wear and with all boxes blackened-in. Also curiously, several Rangers (10) are among the missing 18 cards, including the Park RC. The decision to break up or complete awaits the winning bidder here.
Required to complete the set are 18 cards; #'s 63, 64, 67, 68, 91, 180, 181, 182, 185, 197, 201, 202, 204, 205, 206, 207, 239 and 244.
