This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2020
Cards and inserts from the late-1960s and early-'70s lead here and obviously come from an admirer of goaltenders, with goalie cards galore, including some duplication. A half-dozen '68-69 OPCs include a miscut and multi-creased (F) Bernie Parent, with Hall of Famers Worsley and Vachon also present. Two Tony Esposito RCs (EX and G+) headline three dozen '69-70 OPC entries, with an EX #189-Sawchuk and duplicates of Parent, Favell RC, Desjardins RC (3), DeJordy, Bower, Maniago, Binkley and Broderick RC also contributing. Non-goalie notables are creased and do not make it to VG but include 61-Howe, Howe Mr. Hockey (NNO) and 209-Orr Norris Trophy. A couple of PSA-graded representatives are an alluring NM-MT 8 Four-in-One insert featuring Bobby Hull and Gump Worsley and 49-Floyd Smith at EX-MT 6. More goalies dominate some 30 OPCs from '70-71 (Cheevers, Plante, four Tony O including three different, Hall, Sawchuk Memorial (P)), although condition is not great. There are some nicer exceptions but overall, condition tends to be VG or lower. There are two dozen mostly OPC '71-72 booklet inserts, including Orr (writing on the back), Howe and Hull, with two Dryden Topps versions also present. .....And then it's on to the 1980s material, (in superior condition) with two complete sets of '80-81 OPC "Jumbo" cards, another near set (21/24), an extra Gretzky and a store display box. NHL team photos appear on (34) '80-81 Topps mini posters. They're in 5" by 7" toploaders with duplication, heavy at times, to be aware of and a total of 13 different.
