Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
Playing a collective total of 1982 National Hockey League games between the two of them with both begin inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame after the conclusion of their respective careers in 1988 and 1989 respectively, offered up here is the chance to add the coveted first-year rookie cards of Tony Esposito and Darryl Sittler to your collection. Both found in raw ungraded form, the Esposito hails from the 1969-70 O-Pee-Chee release while the Sittler came the year after as part of the company’s 1970-71 set. Starting with the Esposito, the card is found to be in the EX condition range due to a very small spot of either glue or paper residue on the reverse of the car near the left border while some spotting can be seen over the right edge on the front as well. Despite this, the card still retains excellent colours and fairly sharp corners. For the Sittler example, we place it in the EX to EX-MT range after inspection with the largest flaws seeming to be slight corner wear and a rough cut left edge and some light spotting/surface wear that is observed on the reverse. Once again retaining excellent colours and what appear to be clean surfaces, the card completes a pairing that you and your all-important vintage collection will surely be pleased by should you be the lucky winning bidder.
