Numbers, numbers, here are the numbers of this neat batch of PSA-graded 1978-79 O-Pee-Chee cards. MINT 9 condition leaders total 18, with team cards of the Bruins, Rockies and Red Wings, #263-Bruins vs. Flyers and 331-Sittler All-Star most notable and joined by ten 9s (commons) with (OC) qualifiers. It’s close between NM-MT 8s (44) and NM 7s (47), although 18 of the former received qualifiers. Headlining the 8s are the Bobby Orr special, a Brian Sutter RC, checklist #259, 155-Ratelle and 240-Salming, while Mike Bossy and Dave Taylor rookies are among the (OC) 8s. Lafleur and Dryden pace the NM 7 group, appearing on five and two different cards respectively. Please see our website for further details and numerous more images. Yes, numerous possibilities here.
A host of Hall of Famers (10-Trottier, 30-Sittler, 120-Dionne, 143-Federko RC, 215-Clarke, 245-Potvin), contribute to the NM 7 pile, as do Rangers and Leafs team cards and checklist #297.
