The Great One had scored a still-record 92 goals and posted his first of four 200-plus point seasons the year before he appeared on O-Pee-Chee display boxes in 1982-83, with this box of 48 unopened packs sure to contain a variety of cards picturing Wayne Gretzky, in the midst of rewriting the NHL record book. Rookie cards of Grant Fuhr, Ron Francis, Dale Hawerchuk, Joe Mullen and Neal Broten are other possibilities, as are grading opportunities, should pack-busting be your choice. The packs sold for 25 cents back in the day, with ten cards per pack. Before being sealed by Baseball Card Exchange shrink wrap, the packs within were examined and confirmed as being unopened by BBCE, with the firm’s identifying label on the box’s underside. Wear to the edges and corners of the bottom of the box are to note, along with a four-inch crease and a good edge ding, the latter leaving a small hole in the cardboard. Creasing, scuffs and some color loss to the top of the box and a couple of creases in the side panels are also observed but you’ll be zeroing-in on Wayne’s image while contemplating the various possibilities when this nifty survivor arrives.
