Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2025
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/18/2025
A true blast from the past and sure to be housing some high-grade vintage beauties on its interior, offered here is this lot consisting of a collection of vintage unopened wax packs hailing from O-Pee-Chee releases in 1976-77 to 1985-86 which have all been graded as well as couple other goodies. Paced by a pair of unopened offerings from OPC's 1976-77 WHA release, the wrappers both display the WHA league logo, imagery of a generic goalie making a kick save and the original purchase price of .10 cents while the promos on the back speak of cameras and toque offers. Each having been inspected and encapsulated by PSA, both have earned marks of NM-MT 8 for their efforts and are housed in holders that while in good condition, do show some scratches and scuffs over both sides that are worth mentioning for accuracy. Also including pair of slabbed packs from O-Pee-Chee's 1985-86 release, made famous by the rookie card of Mario Lemieux, generic imagery of a player as well as the NHL's shield logo and the purchase price of .35 cents appear over the front of each pack, with one having been deemed worthy of a mark of "MINT 9 - Authentic Unopened" designation while the other, graded by Global Authority, a company started after the split-up of the original GAI company, sports a mark of "NM 7 - Authentic Unopened". Once again, both holders are in good condition but show scratches and scuffs over both sides. Also including an unopened 1977-78 OPC WHA pack that has a small tear in the wrapper and some crumbled gum on the interior, the lot concludes with an O-Pee-Chee wrapper from the hockey release's 2nd series and a 1975-76 OPC WHA wrapper, both of which remain in good condition with some light staining and surface wear as well as the expected fold lines, while the last image present is a Sweet Caporal cigarette pack that sports a partially detached 1922 US excise stamp over its bottom edge. Also in good condition, expected wear from age is observed throughout.
