Colourfully bordered and condition sensitive, offered here is this complete 1973-74 O-Pee-Chee issue consisting of 264 total cards. Found to be in an overall high-grade condition range of EX to EX-MT and EX-MT to NM for their efforts, it is worth noting that the red bordered cards from the 1st series are all dark back specimens and the 2nd series cards, presenting with green borders, are all light backed cards. With some of the player and team cards found to have wax stains of varying degrees over their reverses, it is worth noting that the last card in the assembly has a small elastic mark that is worth pointing out for accuracy. Led by EX-MT to NM examples of 72-Lafleur (60-40 centering), 81-Barber RC (60-40 centering), 129-Checklist (unmarked - off-center) 142-Smith RC, 202-Nystrom RC and 237-Robinson RC (70-30 centering), the rest of the key cards, featuring 17-Dionne (tiny ding at the left border), 30-Orr (very slight border and edge wear), 50-Clarke (slight border and edge wear), 116-Checklist (unmarked - one small corner ding), 132-Sittler (slight wear at the top left corner) and 263-Checklist (unmarked - off-center from top-to-bottom and bottom right corner wear) are seen as being just slightly worse off, falling into the neighbourhood of EX to EX-MT. With the rest of the cards in a condition that is consistent with the rest of the set, a wonderful trip down memory lane awaits our lucky winning bidder!
