Curious is this ensemble of 1980-81 Topps cards, with all but 17 cards having had their fronts "scratched" to reveal the players' names or the team leaders' statistics. Although scratched, the key rookie card, that of Ray Bourque, received a mark of NM-MT 8 some years ago, while an unscratched Mike Gartner RC also merited NM-MT 8 recognition from PSA. The other notables among cards not scratched are #3-Gretzky Record Breaker (EX-MT (OC)), 163-Scoring Leaders (Dionne, Gretzky, Lafleur)(NM) and 187-Foligno RC (NM). Gretzky's second-year card (#250) is EX-MT, while his 87-All-Star example is EX. EX-MT and NM cards look to dominate the rest, with smaller percentages of better/worse contributors. Other noteworthy rookie cards (out of 40 total RCs) are those of Goulet, Craig, Liut, Propp, Vaive, Ramsey and Nilsson, with checklists and team checklists not marked. A swell bonus is a set of (16) Team Poster inserts, with only a half-dozen exhibiting a corner ding, while a wax wrapper (a few edge tears) will also be heading to the new owner.
