Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/25/2024
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). Exhibiting light wear overall, this unopened specimen sports some creasing to the top lid as well as an area of paper loss at the left edge while the fold up display lid is partially perforated. Also showing some surface wear/light paper loss on the sides, some corner and edge wear exists over the top and bottom as well while some light soiling is present over the bottom as well. 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 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.
