Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/1/2022
Thousands of 1980s O-Pee-Chee cards from the original owner are offered here, with 1200+ from ’81-82 leading chronologically and highlighted by the rookie cards in our title. An EX-MT Denis Savard RC and one of three Larry Murphy rookies, at NM, are most notable, with classic OPC off-centering and not-always-smooth edges affecting most of the other keys, although nice clean surfaces throughout the issue are attributes. Four #1-Bourque cards, 15 unmarked checklists and six Gretzky “specials” are also in the mix. You can anticipate mostly EX-MT to NM, with however plenty of NM+ and NM-MT cards to come upon. Two Ron Francis RCs (EX-MT, VG) are among over (600) ’82-83s, with three Gretzky (#106) cards all affected by a series of factory-produced wrinkles in the upper left corner region, while ’83-84 representatives total 800+ and include Scott Stevens (2), Guy Carbonneau (2), Mats Naslund (2) and Phil Housley (5) rookies. The popular ’84-85 issue (of more than 800 strong) is led by two well-centered Dog Gilmour RCs but they both have rough/chipped right edges. Centering problems hinder Neely (2), Chelios and Lafontaine (2) RCs which have EX-MT characteristics. Completing the stash are entries from ’88-89 (300+) and ’89-90 (750+), along with small quantities from a couple of other years, with a Wendel Clark RC (EX-MT) and some stars among them. With the large quantities, expect duplication, heavy at times, with a curvature in the cards from the early-to-mid-’80s also to note. We’ve shown most of the pertinent cards in our images – have a look and decide whether you will be the next owner – a 4000+ card project awaits.
