Far and away the lead card in both the O-Pee-Chee and Topps releases of the attractive 1984-85 sets, card #67 and #49 in their respective release’s pictures the man largely responsible with getting Hockeytown back to the promise land as Stanley Cup Champions, Steve Yzerman. Offered here, is a collection of seven (7) “Stevie-Y” rookie offerings with five (5) being O-Pee-Chee releases and two (2) being from Topps. Having all been graded, a trio of companies are represented with KSA, SGC and Beckett slabs observed. Starting with the O-Pee-Chee’s, the highest graded example is a KSA 7.5 NM+ which is then followed up by an SGC NM 7 that appears better to the naked eye albeit off center. Beckett offerings include an EX-MT 6, EXCELLENT+ 5.5 and an EXCELLENT 5. The Topps releases included have been examined and slabbed by the graders at Beckett and have earned marks of NEAR MINT+ 7.5 and EX-MT+ 6.5. An excellent offering featuring the rookie card of one of the best to ever play the game, all the holders remain in good condition with just light scratches and/or scuffs worth noting.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this piece through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
