Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/5/2019
Released a year after Wayne Gretzky arrive on the NHL scene, O-Pee-Chee’s 1980-81 hockey card effort is highlighted by Wayne’s second-year card, his four other appearances and the rookie cards of Hall of Famers Mark Messier, Ray Bourque and Mike Gartner, with NM, NM+ and NM-MT cards showing up the most often in this ensemble, with some better/worse. The cards look to have been housed back-to-back in nine-pocket pages for decades and exhibit minimal handling/wear, with the intermittent touched/dinged corner spotted. We see the perfectly-centered key Messier rookie as a NM-MT highlight, with the Bourque RC affected by a very subtle back wrinkle, detected just above Ray’s helmet when viewing the front. The Gretzky is NM but with an image right of center, with the Gartner rookie NM. Checklists are unmarked, with condition exceptions among the notable cards including the Oilers team checklist (with Gretzky)(EX-MT) and 162-Assist Leaders (VG). Also making rookie card appearances, among a total of 70, are Goulet, Liut, Vaive, Craig, Propp, Secord, Langway, Sevigny, Nilsson, Peeters, Ruff, Foligno, Morrow, Ogrodnick and Marsh.
