Paced by the key first year cardboard of Mario Lemieux, the only player capable of holding a candle to Wayne Gretzky during the era, up for grabs here is this complete 264-card assembly of O-Pee-Chee’s 1985-86 hockey release. Found to be in an overall high-grade condition range of EX-MT to NM, the aforementioned Lemieux rookie card is in a slightly less better condition exception, falling into the vicinity of EX to EX-MT due to the slightest corner wear at the bottom left point and a tiny dent to the left border. Joining the Mario rookie example is that of card #258, Gretzky’s Assist Leaders card, that shows a small notch at the left border as well. For the rest of the key cards, those of 29-Yzerman, 40-Bourque, 85-Coffey, 110-Lindbergh, 120-Gretzky, 177-Messier (70-30 centering), 237-MacInnis (RC), 257-Gretzky Goal Leaders, 259-Gretzky Scoring Leaders and 262-Lemieux Rookie Scoring Leaders are all seen as being the previously mentioned EX-MT to NM condition scope, as are the two checklist cards, #165 and #256 respectively, with both not having been marked. Of note, card number #198 shows a small ink mark and #’s 2 and 142 display a dinged corner that makes them condition exceptions. A fabulous trip down memory lane featuring examples of some of the best players to ever lace up the skates in the NHL, don’t let this one pass your or your all-important vintage collection by!
