Ah, those ‘70s sets, beginning with the rookie card-laden 1974-75 ensemble that saw O-Pee-Chee include all cards in one big series for the first time, are offered up here, with the ’74-75s dominated by EX, EX+ and EX-MT examples and averaging EX+. The key rookies and stars are in that range, with Shutt RC better at NM. Like with all other sets present, checklists and team checklists are not marked – nice. Housed in binders, with not an obvious crease spotted and none in the pulled key cards, this is an attractive run, with three of the four other sets averaging NM and the ’76-77 assembly just a tad lower at EX-MT. Notable rookie cards are led by the ’76-77 Bryan Trottier (EX+) and the ’78-79 Mike Bossy (EX-MT (OC)). Our consignor had admirable taste, tracking down two different wrapper variations for the first four sets, with two of the same from ’78-79. Also, card variations (traded, etc.) will be welcome discoveries for the new owner.
Rookie cards not already mentioned and among these five sets are highlighted by those of Denis Potvin, Borje Salming, Lanny McDonald, Bob Gainey, Scotty Bowman, Don Cherry, Rick Middleton, Clark Gillies, Harold Snepsts, Dave “Tiger” Williams, Mike Palmateer, Dave Taylor, Bernie Federko, Brian Sutter and Doug Wilson.
