Near-complete and complete pre-war hockey card sets, with good reason, always command respect and interest, with the level elevated when it comes to O-Pee-Chee’s unique 1936-37 die-cut issue, the cards designed to have part of the top half folded in order to stand the cards up. Sporting a checklist that is full of the stars of the era, including numerous future Hockey Hall of Fame inductee's, offered here, is this complete set of O-Pee-Chee's 1936-37 Series "D" release that includes all thirty-six (36) cards making up the checklist. Including a first group of keys that sees the likes of 97-Broda RC (VG to VG-EX - loose), 118-Shore (VG-EX to EX - slight corner wear), 121-Morenz (VG-EX to EX - slight corner wear), 123-Conacher (G to VG - slightly loose and ding to top right corner), 125-Clancy (VG - loose and a tiny crease at the bottom) and 129-Joliat (VG-EX to EX - slight corner wear), it should be mentioned that all the cards making up the set appear to have been folded at one point, with this more evident on some cards over others when viewing the back of the cards along the factory die-cut horizontal line (which appears over the front). Additionally, the condition that is stated is to give an idea of the condition excluding the fact that most of the cards appear to have been folded at one point in time. Also including a secondary notable group which features the cards of 101-Apps RC (VG to VG-EX - light corner wear), 102-Conacher RC (GOOD - loose and a tiny crease as well as slight discolouration on the reverse), 105-Coville RC (GOOD - old water mark/stain at the top right corner on the reverse and light border wear to go along with a tiny crease at the top), 122-Horner (VG to VG-EX - ding at bottom right corner), 124-Jackson (GOOD - stain on the reverse and at the top right on the front) and 128-Patrick (VG to VG-EX - loose and light corner wear). With many of the cards lightly faded in colour, the rest of the set includes one (1) card around VG-EX to EX (# 117-Goodfellow), six (6) cards around VG to VG-EX (#'s 103-Fowler RC, 107-Karakas RC, 109-Shibicky RC, 111, 113-Wiebe RC, 116-Wentworth and 131-Aurie), ten (10) cards in the scope of G to VG (#'s 98-Schriner RC, 100-Davidson RC, 104-Murray RC, 108-Gallagher RC, 110-Cain, 112-Jackson RC, 114-Desilets RC, 115-Robinson, 120-Cude and 126-Trottier) and finally, six (6) cards around FR to G (#'s 99-Shill RC, 106-Runge RC, 119-Boll, 127-Blinco, 130-Northcott and 132-Smith). An excellent assembly, don't allow yourself to miss out on these!
