The rookie cards of formidable and legendary offensive threats Steve Yzerman and Brett Hull are among the highlights of the two Topps sets offered here, with very little handling/wear exhibited. There are some intermittent touched and lightly dinged corners throughout both stacks, with the Yzerman RC EX-MT in our eyes and that of Hull similarly shy of NM. Mostly EX-MT to NM-MT examples comprise the two gatherings (some better/worse), with Lafontaine, Verbeek, Barrasso and Andreychuk RCs most notable from ’84-85, a 165-card effort. Extras total 80-plus and include seven Barrasso rookies and one of Andreychuk. Wayne Gretzky makes appearances in both sets, with his ’88-89 “sweater” card joined by rookie cards of Shanahan, Nieuwendyk, Turgeon and Probert, along with superstars Lemieux and Roy in a 198-card issue. A similar amount of ’88-89 extras (seven dozen) include duplication and that’s a good thing, with Shanahan (4), Nieuwendyk, Turgeon (2) and Probert (2) RCs constituting swell bonuses and accompanied by 18 All-Star sticker inserts (duplication, with seven different). The high bidder will also receive a flattened ’84-85 display box (corners are separated) featuring the late, great Clark Gillies, along with four dozen (cello and not wax) wrappers. Plenty of options await.
