Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/26/2021
Two big thick binders of cards here will be fun for you to flip through some four decades(!) after the cards were released, with the pulled stars and rookies revealing sharp cardboard. NM to MINT cards and a NM-MT average are to be anticipated, with the ’81 Topps rookie card roster led by Fernando Valenzuela and Kirk Gibson, while Tim Raines, Harold Baines and Hubie Brooks/Mookie Wilson are also present in the group (of 79). Topps’ regular set swelled from 726 cards to a whopping 795 in 1982, with none more important than Cal Ripken Jr.’s rookie. The example here exhibits a touched upper left corner and a minuscule white spec on a back corner sending it to NM, or very close (EX-MT+). A Terry Francona RC is also present, with legends Ryan, Rose, Schmidt, Brett, Ozzie, Rickey and others contributing to both assemblies – has it really been 40 years?!
