Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
A lovely duo of unopened wax pack survivors is up for grabs here in the form of this lot consisting of O-Pee-Chee wax packs from both their 1987-88 and 1988-89 sets that have both earned high-grade marks of MINT 9 after being inspected by PSA. Both owning checklists that carried 264-cards (down from the usually seen 396-card sets released by the company in years prior) that included a plethora of Wayne Gretzky offerings in both years, the 1987-88 release featured the rookie cards of Robitaille, Oates, Damphousse, Richer, Lemieux, Vernon, Hextall, Ranford, Tikkanen and Tocchet while the 1988-89 set is paced by the first-year cardboard of Nieuwendyk, Hull, Shanahan and Turgeon. Displaying anti-drug use (1987-88) and a sports card locker (1988-89) send away ads on their reverses, the earlier of the two packs displays its original purchase price of .35 cents over the front of its brightly coloured red and yellow wrapper, something that is not seen on the wrapper of the 1988-89 pack. Both remaining in beautiful condition with no obtrusive flaws to either of the included specimens, the packs each house a total of seven cards along with a stick of bubble gum. Surely featuring cards in the same grade range as what the packs themselves were given, unopened pack aficionados will want to seriously consider this wondrous opportunity, with the PSA holder housing the tempting offerings showing some scratches and scuffs over both sides worth mentioning.
