Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/26/2021
The Wayne Gretzky rookie card that headlines this batch of 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee cards is encapsulated by ACA, with the company’s 6 ENM grade appearing on the front of the label, while on the back are the following four sub grades: Corners 5, Edges 7, Surface 7.5 and Center 7.5. We would contend a somewhat generous final “6” assessment, given the lightly dinged lower left corner, wear at all four and visible roughness near the middle of the right edge. The high bidder will also receive most of the rest of the 396-card set, housed in Ultra Pro 9-pocket pages, with key star cards of Howe, Hull, Bossy (NM) and Dryden at least EX-MT+ with centering that varies. The remainder look to be dominated by EX-MT and NM-or-better examples, with some lower and a few notable exceptions, including 200-Lafleur (VG-EX) and 81-Jets Team logo/checklist (G), and a crease spotted in 146-Tonelli RC and 241-Linseman RC. Among the missing cards are the three checklists, the Oilers and Whalers team logo/checklists and eight team checklists (Canadiens, Nordiques, with wear to some of the (unmarked) team checklists which are present. Yet another Wayne-and-the-rest ’79-80 gathering for you to contemplate.
