Two classic and visually appealing sets released by O-Pee-Chee during the late-1980s, offered here is this lot consisting of three (3) complete assemblies of the company's 1987-88 and 1988-89 releases for a total 792 cards in all. Starting with the earlier 1987-88 offerings, found to be in an overall high-grade range of EX-MT to NM. Featuring the second year card of Canadiens star goalie, Patrick Roy (EX-MT - tiny ding top left), as well as the first-year cardboard examples of players like Luc Robitaille (EX-MT to NM), Adam Oates (EX-MT to NM), Ron Hextall (EX-MT to NM), Claude Lemieux (EX-MT to NM) and Vincent Damphousse are joined by cards of key stars such as Mario Lemieux (VG - light crease at top right) and Wayne Gretzky (EX-MT to NM). With the other star players that are dotted throughout the checklist found to be in the same high-grade neighbourhood, including Yzerman, Messier, Coffey and Bourque among others, it is worth mentioning that all the accompanying checklist cards are found in their original unmarked state and in a similar condition as the rest of the cards while joining the complete set are a pair of 1987-88 mini sets and a box bottom set, all three (3) of which are in a similar EX-MT to NM condition range throughout though on the box bottom set it needs to be mentioned that the Gretzky is creased.
Finally, for the two (2) 1988-89 sets, again both found in the uniform condition range of EX-MT to NM throughout for the most part, included are EX-MT to NM offerings of 1-Lemieux (the other is around EX to EX-MT with light corner wear), 16-Nieuwendyk RC (x2), 66-Hull RC (x2), 116-Roy (the other is around EX-MT due to a scuffed bottom right corner), 120-Gretzky (x2), 122-Shanahan RC (x2) and 194-Turgeon RC (x2). Additionally, both sets include crisp unmarked copies of the set's checklists.
