Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/28/2023
Some O-Pee-Chee baseball unopened wax pack action is offered up here, with Don Mattingly’s rookie card headlining OPC’s 396-card effort of 1984. Darryl Strawberry is also notable among the sparse RC roster, with the plentiful Hall of Fame lineup led by Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken Jr., Ryne Sandberg, Wade Boggs, George Brett, Eddie Murray, Pete Rose (with a “Now With Expos” notation), Ozzie, Rickey and more, including the three who are featured on the display box; Steve Carlton, Reggie Jackson and Jim Rice. Packs cost 35 cents back in the day, with 36 seven-card packs per wax box. This one and its contents, recently examined and certified by BBCE, has survived in attractive condition, with no important/unslightly dings or creases to mention here, with only tiny ones not affecting the beauty of the box seen along the top lid as well as the edges, sides and corners of the unopened treasure. Sporting some wear to the edges and corners that is worth pointing out for accuracy, along with some surface wear to the top, partially perforated lid which also sports a sticker reading "1984 BB OPC" affixed to it, some very minor surface wear is seen along all of the sides with the bottom showcasing the heaviest of it all. Sealed with BBCE shrink wrap, with the firm’s identifying label and tamper-proof hologram affixed to the underside, numerous opportunities and questions as to keep it sealed or bust it open await our lucky winning bidder!
