Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
Unopened boxes of O-Pee-Chee World Hockey Association cards land on our doorstep infrequently, with this survivor from the 1977-78 season sure to garner interest and housing 48 packs. With 12 cards per pack, that works out to be 576 high grade possibilities, with the ’77-78 set being a 66-card issue and starring legends Gordie Howe (card #1 hails Gordie’s 1000 pro goals) and Bobby Hull. Cards of Mark Howe, Frank Mahovlich, J.C. Tremblay, Paul Henderson, Anders Hedberg, Ulf Nilsson and Richard Brodeur are also notable, as is the checklist. Packs cost 15 cents back in the day and the ones involved here were all checked recently and confirmed as having been not tampered with by unopened specialist BBCE. The company’s shrink wrap now seals the booty, with an identifying company label affixed to the underside. A few scuffs and a small area of paper loss are observed on the box top, with a one-inch tear in the front panel also to note, just to the left of the piece of scotch tape. A smidgeon of paper loss on a side panel and corner/edge wear on the box bottom are also to be aware of. A definite must for an important unopened shrine, this tempter will be an appreciated acquisition.
