This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/20/2024
One of the most popular sets among vintage collectors, especially those seeking out cardboard from the era of the 1960s, O-Pee-Chee's 1968-69 release is the subject of discussion here, with this starter set being offered here featuring 144 of the 216 cards that make up the checklist with the included specimens largely in a low-grade state as many have red ink over their reverses that reads "1969" as well as creases and corner wear. Missing a total of seventy-two (72) cards for completion including notables of 2-Orr, 7-P. Esposito, 29-Howe, 61-Checklist, 89-Parent RC, 121-Checklist, 123-Horton, 164-Vachon, 165-H. Richard, 166-Beliveau, 200-Orr AS and 208-P. Esposito AS, the special Howe 700 Goals sticker is also not included as well. Among the cards that are present, the list of keys is led by a VG-EX to EX example of card #140 that pictures Gerry Cheevers over the front, with the image off-center and the corners sporting slight wear. Also featuring a G to VG copy of #203, Gordie Howe's all-star example that has corner wear all the way around, Jacque Plante's card (#181) is seen as being in the scope of GOOD due to ink over the reverse while #'s 1-Harvey (ink on back, paper loss, creases), 16-Hull (creases and ink on back), 34-Sawchuk (crease and ink on back), 142-Unger RC (surface wear and ink on back), 155-Mikita (ink on back and general wear), 204-Hull AS (creases) and 214-Orr AS (creases) are all in the neighbourhood of FR to G for their efforts.
