Perhaps the most famous hockey card set of all-time, cards from O-Pee-Chee’s 1979-80 release came in wax packs that contained 14 cards and cost young ones 20 cents, with the rookie cards of a young phenom by the name of Wayne Gretzky coveted by all by seasons end. Offered here, we present this near-complete assembly of O-Pee-Chee's iconic 1979-80 hockey release. Stepping up to the face-off dot with 381 of the 396 cards making up the set present and accounted for, the group is missing only those of 18-Gretzky RC, 50-Robinson AS, 82-Oilers Team Checklist, 146-Tonelli RC, 150-Dryden AS, 161-Bossy RB, 175-Howe, 185-Hull, 191-Simmer RC, 200-Lafleur AS, 206-Smith RC, 220-P. Esposito, 230-Bossy AS, 237-Checklist and 346-Checklist for completion. Still featuring firepower through the likes of cards such as 1-Goal Leaders, 2-Assist Leaders, 3-Scoring Leaders, 8-Shutout Leaders, 70-Potvin, 81-Jets Team Checklist, 100-Trottier, 131-Checklist, 155-Mikita and 163-Whalers Team Checklist, most of the cards making up the near-complete assembly presented here remain in the mid-grade condition ranges of VG-EX to EX, EX and EX-MT for their efforts mostly deterred by light amounts of wear and/or defects to the corners and the typical centering issues that O-Pee-Chee releases of the era are known for. Missing most of the more expensive and better cards value wise but still perfect for someone looking to complete their own edition of the hobby's most famous set, don't miss out on this offering presented here!
