Various O-Pee-Chee inserts from some five decades ago are among the interesting elements of this group of cool collectibles, with three intact 4-in-1 mini-cards from 1969-70 having survived in appealing crease-free (EX or EX+) condition a good place to start. Serge Savard is featured on one and we’ll let our images inform of the rest of the lineup, with a complete set of (12) mini-card albums all featuring all of their mini-cards, affixed appropriately – neat. Also intact (with tabs) but looking like they could separate if handled much are four pairs of fragile ’69-70 stamps, with Hall of Famers Hall, Gilbert, Parent, Mikita and Keon involved, while two Bobby Orr ’70-71 Deckle Edge inserts (VG, F) are amid 27 total. Better (VG-EX) and crease-free are Howe and Hull and 11 others, with the rest VG or lower and the nicer ones shown. Over six dozen ’70-71 Esso Power Players include two Orrs, although overall condition is not high grade. A 22-card ’72-73 Player Crest set is led by Orr and Dryden and includes creaseless (mostly EX+ or better) contributors, with most but not all affected by a small factory-caused mark or two. Two (66-card) OPC World Hockey Association card sets include Gordie Howe on the first card, with “The Howes” (VG) leading a ’73-74 assembly. Mostly EX-or-better entries are to report but Hull and Plante, as well as Hedberg (P) and Nilsson (P) RCs are notable exceptions. EX-MT to NM-MT examples dominate a ’77-78 set, although a pronounced curvature to the cards is to note, with 1-Howe at EX. Miscellaneous cards and coins (11) and a vintage Montreal Alouettes window decal complete the stash, sure to provide fun when it's delivered.
