A double dose of Wayne Gretzky’s various second-year cards and key rookie cards of Mark Messier and Raymond Bourque are to tell you about here, with The Great One’s regular issues recently encapsulated by KSA and just a notch or two below NM. We spot mostly EX, EX+ and EX-MT cards among the top dozen or so pulled from each set, with the two Messiers off-centered and both otherwise EX+ and the Bourques featuring pleasing centering and receiving EX and EX+ assessments. One of two 182-Oilers Team Leaders (Gretzky) cards has two small creases (VG), with a Rick Vaive RC severely miscut and Mike Gartner rookies EX-MT and EX. Both ensembles are housed in 9-pocket pages and a single binder, with one of the sets having cards placed back-to-back in pages, possibly leading to bottom corner issues. We’d say mostly EX to EX-MT can be anticipated, with sub-EX (VG+, VG-EX) and NM and better cards also involved – it’ll definitely be fun for you to build the best possible set, if that’s your desire/decision. Checklists and most team checklists are without marks, while some throw-in bonuses are also to mention; O-Pee-Chee “minis” from the late-‘80s are complete 42 and 46-card affairs, with two dozen Montreal Canadiens team-issued postcards from the same period starring Patrick Roy early in his illustrious career, along with Hall of Famers Robinson, Gainey, Chelios and Carbonneau – cool.
