An excellent lot for any collector or a dealer looking for inventory is this one up on the block featuring a dozen 1997-98 rookie cards from 1997-98 Black Diamond and Zenith featuring HOFer Roberto Luongo as well as Vincent Lecavalier and Alex Tanguay that have all been graded. Comprised of mostly “Bobby Lu” offerings, eight of the twelve included offerings picture the goaltender in his Team Canada uniform. Featuring one of his card #131 1997-98 Black Diamond rookies that has been graded GEM MINT 9.5 by Beckett, the rest are all Zenith cards, #97 in the 1997-98 set, with five having earned marks of MINT 9 and one carrying a NM-MT+ 8.5 designation. Of note, an addition Zenith card is included, the same as all the rest, that has been graded by KSA and given a NGM 9.5 designation. The rest of the group is comprised of two 1997-98 Zenith offerings of Vincent Lecavalier, with both earning marks of GEM MINT 9.5 from Beckett, and two 1997-98 Zenith cards of Alex Tanguay that have once again been graded by Beckett, deemed worthy of MINT 9 and NM-MT+ 8.5 designations respectively. Worth noting, one of the Lecavalier cards is labeled as a “Z-Silver” parallel. The holders all remain in good condition with just light scratches and scuffs to note.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this piece through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
