Always an enticing set for collectors to add to their inventory, the 1970-71 O-Pee-Chee release consisted of bright colours and a 264-card checklist, with this complete assembly of the release up for grabs here. Paced by a group of four (4) Beckett (BVG) and PSA graded offerings that includes a BVG NM-MT 8 of card #248, Bobby Orr's Norris Trophy winner specimen while his Hart and Art Ross Trophy cards have both earned marks of BVG NEAR MINT 7 for their effort. For the last of the graded cards, a copy of Jacques Lemaire's card has been assessed a mark of NM 7 from PSA. For the rest of the set, found to generally be in a fairly consistent grade range of VG-EX to EX and EX, the assembly's key rookie cards of HOFers 67-Brad Park (VG - has a vertical pressure line mark), 131-Gilbert Perreault (EX to EX-MT), 218-Darryl Sittler (EX to EX-MT) and 195-Bobby Clarke (EX to EX-MT - completely off-center horizontally) are all present and accounted for. For the key cards, #3 of HOFer Bobby Orr has a small stain while those that sport multiple or heavy creases include the examples of 1-Cheevers, 2-Bucyk, 7-Cashman, 8-Hodge, 9-Carleton, 49-Vachon, 220 Harrison and 259-Vezina Trophy. Mention that about 20 cards have a crease including 20-Mikita, 136-Sanderson and 233-Esposito Line. Lastly, the set's checklist cards, #24 and #132, are both marked and show other defects as well, worth mentioning for accuracy. All four (4) of the graded cards are housed in holders that remain in good condition that with light scratches while the Orr Art Ross card has something stuck inside the holder on the front. A wonderful trip down memory lane, don’t let these pass you by!
