Thoughts of GEM MINT rookie cards of the Hall of Famers in our title are provoked by the sight of this tempting offering that contains four dozen (48) 1984-85 O-Pee-Chee hockey card packs. The late, great Clark Gillies, a four-time Stanley Cup champion, is featured on the riveting double brick-size box and helps to show the design that has made ’84-85 OPCs hobby favorites over the years. Also helping is the fine rookie card lineup, led by Steve Yzerman. In this day and age of many collectors’/investors’ quest for high grade rookies, “GEM MT 10” indeed comes to mind. Perfect examples of the HOFer RCs would be exciting to uncover if busting some or all of the 48 packs is in your future. The packs cost 35 cents each back in the day and that was an increase from the previous 25 cents but packs included more cards (15) than their predecessors (10). Housing packs that show the rookie cards of Cam Neely (2), Pat LaFontaine (1) and Dave Andreychuk through the backs of their wrappers, the box remains in excellent condition overall, displaying some surface wear to the top lid as well as to the corners and edges while the fold up display appears only partially perforated when inspected. Showing some wear to the bottom corners all the way around the box as well as some creasing to the left side, the edges of the top lid are just slightly folded over both sides and the tape on the front is no longer intact. With the packs inside having been inspected and confirmed as having not been opened or tampered with by unopened specialist Baseball Card Exchange, a BBCE label telling the tale of the rookie cards that show through the backs of the pack wrappers and certification number affixed to the shrink wrap that now seals the booty on the bottom of the box – a special acquisition offering numerous options it will be.
