Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2020

Less than a dozen cards short of a complete nine-year run of 1980s O-Pee-Chee sets is on the block here and is highlighted by dozens of Wayne Gretzky appearances, along with the rookie cards of numerous Hall of Fame legends. As is often the case, condition is lesser early on, with VG+ and VG-EX cards dominating an ’80-81 near set and an EX average to report with an ’81-82 near set. The rest are better (generally EX+ to EX-MT averages) but with nothing bang-on and the ’85-86 (Mario) set a little weak. The last couple are, typically, the sharpest. We see the Lemieux RC at EX+, with the Patrick Roy RC EX-MT. There are dozens more to discover – please see our website for further details and the centering story of the key cards.
The group of ’80-81s is missing a couple of commons (#s 117 and 354), while the Gretzky is actually a Topps filler. Two commons are not present the following year (276, 363) and the rest are said to be complete but please note that an intermittent missing card or two is a possibility. Other most notable rookie cards are those of Messier (VG-EX), Bourque (VG+), Coffey (EX+) and Yzerman (EX), with an extra Brett Hull tossed onto the ’88-89 pile.
