Only missing the rookie card of “The Great One” that falls at #18 in the 396-card checklist, up on the auction block here is this near set of the iconic blue bordered cards offered as part of O-Pee-Chee’s 1979-80 offering that features the 395 cards that would accompany the famed Gretzky rookie. In a very pleasing and consistent EX/EX-MT condition throughout, the stars in the best condition include cards #40 Borje Salming, #150 Ken Dryden (heavily off-center right-to-left), #185 Bobby Hull (heavily off-center left-to-right) and #200 Guy Lafleur, with all falling in the condition range of EX-MT in our opinion. Other notable offerings present include those of 125-Clarke (bottom left corner ding), and 175-Howe (top right corner ding) in the vicinity of EX while card #230 of Mike Bossy shows two very small creases and presents in the scope of VG/VG-EX. All three checklists remain unmarked and present in the range of EX/EX-MT condition as do the three logo cards of the Jets, Oilers and Whalers. While void of the Gretzky, don’t let that take away from a wonderful trip down memory lane through this near set chalked full of stars of the era that we’re confident will be pleasing to our lucky winning bidder.
