A pair of classic releases from seasons that saw the New York Islanders win their fourth (4th) straight Stanley Cup championship and the Edmonton Oilers win their second straight Stanley Cup championship, offered here is this lot consisting of wax packs and display boxes from O-Pee-Chee's 1982-83 and 1984-85 releases. Starting with the older of the two (2) releases, the 1982-83 set consists of 396 cards and includes key rookie offerings of players such as Dale Hawerchuk, Brent Sutter, Grant Fuhr, Neal Broten, Ron Francis, Joe Mullen and Thomas Steen. Including a total of thirteen (13) wax packs deemed to be all original and not tampered with, each displays an image of a goalie over the front as well as the original purchase price of .25 cents. All in overall excellent condition, the packs are accompanied by a display box from the release that is in admirable condition, showing wear through surface, edge and corner wear as well as small tears at the corners and edges of the top portion. For the 1984-85 release, once again consisting of 396-cards in its checklist, the set includes the key rookie examples of players such as Steve Yzerman, Dave Andreychuk, Tom Barrasso, Chris Chelios, Doug Gilmour, Pat LaFontaine, Cam Neely, Dave Poulin and Pat Verbeek. Including twelve (12) unopened and untampered with wax packs, all of them are found to be in good condition overall with just light wear to the corners and edges on some while the top shows an ad for a Stanley Cup contest and the original purchase price of .35 cents. Also including an empty display box, this one presents with less surface wear but still shows some edge and corner imperfections as well as a tear at the back right corner. Additionally, the packs have been shown to and reviewed by a third-party that specializes in packs/boxes (Martin Sports Cards) and in their opinion they are original and unopened. Please take note that all of the packs included in this lot are offered "AS IS" and therefore no returns will be accepted.
