Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Featuring an attractive design and a checklist of 396 cards in total, the 1978-79 O-Pee-Chee hockey card set is paced by the key rookie card of Mike Bossy while also including numerous stars and future Hall of Famers of the era. Offered here, we present this collection of cards from the 1978-79 O-Pee-Chee hockey release that included over 250 signed examples. Found to be in the overall condition range of EX throughout its entirety except for card #130 of Gilbert Perreault, which is around FR to PR because of a large crease, the key group of 30-Sittler (EX-MT to NM - slight surface snow on the front - blue ballpoint pen ink signature), 34-Magnuson (EX-MT to NM - black ballpoint pen ink signature), 75-Mikita (G to VG - creased - blue ballpoint pen ink signature), 100-P. Esposito (EX-MT to NM - 90-10 centering - blue ballpoint pen ink signature), 143-Federko RC (VG-EX to EX - faded back - black marker ink signature), 168-Wilson RC (EX to EX-MT - border wear at the top left - purple marker ink signature that shows smudging), 176-Barber (EX to EX-MT - corner wear and slight surface "snow" - black ballpoint pen ink signature), 250-T. Esposito (EX-MT to NM - 90-10 centering - black ballpoint pen ink signature), 300-Orr (x2 - retirement special cards - one roughly G to VG with corner wear and rounding with a blue marker ink signature and one around EX-MT with slight corner wear and a black marker ink signature), 319-Sutter RC (EX-MT to NM - off-center top to bottom - black ballpoint pen ink signature) and 353-Taylor RC (EX-MT to NM - 80-20 centering - blue marker ink signature). With all the cards signed with a mix of marker and ballpoint pen ink signatures that are found to display well overall though some show things like fading/lightness and smudging, the rest of the assembly also includes a group of HOFers that features names such as Sittler (x3), T. Esposito, Magnuson (x2), Vachon, Perreault, P. Esposito, Ratelle, Dionne, Clarke, Bowman (coach), McDonald, Gainey and Park (x3) while additional signed rookie examples feature the signatures of players such as Federko, Taylor, Wilson and Sutter. Of note, the group is accompanied by a JSA Auction LOA that is for the first group of twelve (12) cards listed above.
