This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
Featuring an attractive design (at least in this writer’s eyes) as well as the names of players who had once dominated the era of the Original Six and some of those that would become the star power of the upcoming decade, O-Pee-Chee’s 1969-70 assembly continues to be popular in the hobby and is found in partial set form here with 92 of the 231 cards that make up the checklist present and accounted for. Missing the key rookie cards of 4-Savard and 138-T. Esposito, some of the notables that are missing include 1-Worsley, 10-Beliveau, 24-Orr, 30-P. Esposito, 31-checklist 2, 33-Giacomin, 61-Howe, 70-B. Hull, 132-checklist 1, 165-Vachon, 180-Plante, 189-Sawchuk, 193-Howe as well as most of the All-Star cards and trophy cards. A lower end of the grade scale grouping that sees its cards largely fall into the range of G, VG and VG-EX with some slightly betters specimens throughout. Plagued by flaws such as varying degrees of corner and edge wear as well as surface wear that includes blue colouring spots coming up to the top from the reverse, around ten (10) of the cards also show creases. For the notables, the group is led by VG-EX examples of 54-Ullman, 62-Mahovlich and 182-Horton with all three showing even light-to-moderate toning and a surface scratch over their fronts worth mentioning while retaining sharp corners that show just light touches of wear and displaying edges that show only a bit of wear on the reverses. Followed by VG to VG-EX specimens that include 26-Bucyk (toning and slight corner/edge wear along with a ding at the bottom left and light surface wear), 37-Gilbert (surface wear, heavily off-center right-to-left, slight corner wear), 51-Keon (surface scratches and corner wear), 76-Mikita (surface scratches and corner wear including a ding at the bottom left), 163-Richard (light fading, toned bottom left corner, durface wear, fold line at top left) and 201-Sanderson (surface scratches and light wear as well as light corner wear), two cards are seen as GOOD including 89-Parent (stamp applied to the reverse, surfaces scratches, top right corner ding with wear to the others as well) and 186-Quinn (small top right corner crease and surface scratch plus corner wear). For the last of the notables a beat up FR to G copy of Bobby Orr’s All-Star card, #212, is present, sporting creases, corner wear/dings and surface wear worth mentioning.
