Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2016
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2016
Vintage hockey card wrapper enthusiasts will want to consider this find, originally folded around a card from O-Pee-Chee's 1937-38 "Series E" set, the last issued in wax packs by OPC for many years. The set saw two different wrapper variations; one which is dated "1938", and the other undated like this example, suggesting that the set might have been issued in a second print run the following year. The two different colored card sets, (backgrounds are blue in one and purple in the other), also match the identically colored wrappers. The wrapper offered here has visible holes at the four corners of the color image, to go along with peripheral creases and standard fold lines. Definitely desirable, and in 1938, five of these plus five cents mailed-in would entitle collectors to a cool "O Pee Chee Hockey Star" board game.
