Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/26/2021
Two of hockey’s all-time greatest talents, Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky, are pictured on this box of 1988-89 O-Pee-Chee cards, with the image of Wayne on a side panel curiously not the one that appeared on his OPC card that season but rather his Topps version (Gretz holding up his new L.A. Kings jersey). The box has been inspected, certified and sealed by Baseball Card Exchange, the firm’s shrink-wrap featuring an identifying sticker and accompanying hologram on the bottom, where box bottom cards of Bourque, Craven/Propp, Hawerchuk and Yzerman appear, although again, different images were used in the actual set. Inside are 48 (7-card) packs, with rookie cards of Brett Hull and Brendan Shanahan the most important/valuable and bolstering the 264-card set’s popularity over the years. The box exhibits minimal handling/wear, with wear to the bottom edges and scuffs to the Yzerman card visible. Yet another swell trip back in time is offered here – you gotta love old unopened wax!
