Spanning a series of seasons that saw teams such as the Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers hoist Lord Stanley's coveted Cup at seasons end as champions of the National Hockey League, offered here is this collection of 190+ O-Pee-Chee hockey cards that date from 1976-77 to 1983-84. Paced by a copy of Mark Messier's 1980-81 OPC rookie card that has been deemed worthy of an EXMINT 6 mark from the graders at ACA, the card displays with overall pleasing centering and colours on the front and reverse while light corner wear and rough cut edges that hamper O-Pee-Chee releases of the era are present. Housed in an ACA holder that shows some light scratches over both sides that is worth mentioning for accuracy, other notable rookies included within the group include those of Mike Bossy from 1978-79 (VG vicinity - dings on all four corners along with surface and edge wear) and Michel Goulet (x2 - both VG range, one with a crease at upper left corner and another small crease at the right edge while being completely off-center and the other completely off-center with some corner and edge wear). Also featuring record breaker cards of both Ray Bourque (#2) and Wayne Gretzky (#3), once again both are in the VG range with light wear to the corners and edges along with some defects to the edges and surfaces that are completely off-center. For the rest of the group, included are thirteen (13) cards from 1976-77 OPC that are all low-grade, nine (9) cards from 1978-79 OPC that are all low-grade, roughly 130 or so cards from 1980-81 OPC that includes approximately twenty (20) "Team Leaders" cards that are all marked and many duplicates that are mainly in the VG-EX to EX neighbourhood, and lastly, twenty-eight (28) cards from the 1983-84 OPC release that are also all low-grade.
