With numerous alluring attributes is this inviting ensemble of 1970-71 O-Pee-Chee cards, with EX-MT to NM examples combining to dominate. A touched corner, fuzzy corner or a light corner ding is often observed, while intermittent NM-MT to MINT entries sure are pleasant to come upon. Some may be “only” EX or EX+, with minimal creases (we count just 18 creased cards, including two Tony Esposito specials) further lowering a small percentage. Unfortunately, light diagonal wrinkles in the upper right quadrant affect the key Gilbert Perreault rookie card, with EX RCs of Darryl Sittler and Bobby Clarke to report, the latter with a small stain in the left border. Bobby Orr of course leads the stars, with his regular (#3) issue just, just shy of EX-MT in our eyes due in part to enough (bottom right) corner wear. Two sharp and unmarked checklists are among the highlights, with #132-2nd Series appearing to make it to NM-MT and #24-1st Series at EX-MT+. Notables at NM or a tad higher are 29-Howe, 67-Park RC and 222-Plante, while most noteworthy EX-MTs are 153-Tony O, 231-Sawchuk Memorial and two Orr Trophy Winner cards (248, 249). A tiny corner crease help to send the two others to VG+, with 236-Orr All-Star joining them. Oh, and an otherwise MINT-looking 15-Bobby Hull is lowered by a small top border notch. All in all, attractive, nice and “flat” 50+-year-old collectibles are in store for you if you’re the high bidder here.
