Big hoard of O-Pee-Chee sets from the 1980s equals multiples of several interesting rookie cards, along with numerous Wayne Gretzky cards from when the Oilers were priming. We’ll list the number of sets, with key RCs in brackets, beginning with Wayne’s second-year appearance of 1980-81 (four sets – Messier, Bourque, Gartner). There are then five ’81-82 sets (Coffey, Kurri, Moog, Savard, Murphy, Stastny, Ciccarelli), four from ’82-83 (Fuhr, Francis, Hawerchuk), two from ’83-84 (Lindbergh, Stevens, Housley) and two from ’87-88 (Robitaille, Oates). As for overall condition, no real high grade cards are discovered upon inspection of the key cards in the first couple of years, with VG to EX tending to best describe them, but with three trashed Messier RCs to note. Sharper are the other assemblies, with NMs showing up more often than previously. What an inventory these bricks will be to the new owner.
Please note that these sets were consigned to us as being complete. We’ve inspected some but not all; there may be a small number of cards missing, although key rookie cards have been accounted for. Good luck with this interesting 1980s project.
