The two legends in our title indeed headline this trio of Topps issues, with an unscratched 1980-81 Topps set seldom landing on our doorstep. Understandably, it did not meet with hobby acclaim, rendering it a unique issue, with very few condition issues to report with the offered ensemble. The Ray Bourque rookie card (NM+), second-year Gretzky card (NM) and five others featuring Wayne lead the lineup, with almost all cards NM-or-better and the majority appearing NM-MT or better, meaning dozens of MINT cards are to be zeroed-in on. Rookie cards of Gartner, Goulet, Liut, Propp and Vaive, along with those of Jim Craig and other 1980 U.S. Olympians are also noteworthy, as are the unmarked checklists and team leader/checklist cards. Just one card, #263-Stanley Cup Semi-Finals is required for completion, while a duplicate #1-Flyers Record Breaker is present. We spot just one partially-scratched front, that of 27-Blackhawks Team Leaders. ...With not-perfect centering but sharp corners are the two ’84-85 Topps Steve Yzerman RCs, (both NM-MT), with the accompanying 263 cards of each set averaging NM-MT. Again, MINT cards are present. Notable rookie cards are those of Lafontaine, Verbeek, Andreychuk and Barrasso. Some definite candidates for those who like to grade.
