Condition wise, Lemieux’s first-year cardboard example that is included here is found to be in the condition scope of EX-MT with a bit of corner wear at the top left and 60-40 centering while his rookie scoring leaders card, #262 in the checklist, matches the grade range most of the set is in at EX-MT to NM and is also slightly off-centered.
