Far less often seen than O-Pee-Chee hockey cards from the same season are these posters from the 1971-72 season that were released by O-Pee-Chee, which came attached, two to a pack and which are supposed to measure just under 10” by just under 18”. Featuring the two dozen biggest stars of the day including Bobby Orr, Ken Dryden, Jacques Plante, Guy Lafleur, Tim Horton, Bobby Hull and others, this lot offers a complete set of 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee posters totaling twenty-four (24). All measuring roughly 10" x 18" for their efforts with some slightly larger or smaller and retaining good colours for their age making them visually attractive, Remaining in overall good condition despite some instances of hastily cut edges and even toning that is seen as being between light and moderate throughout, other things worth pointing out that are observed on some of the posters in the assembly include liquid stains, small edge tears and fold lines/creases. For the more desirable examples of Orr, Dryden, Lafleur and Esposito, the Orr poster shows toning as well as heavy fold lines, the Dryden poster shows light/even toning throughout its entirety as well as some light foxing over the front and the bottom left hand corner plus a stain on the reverse and fold lines that are heavy and have resulted in some small tears along them in spots. For the Lafleur poster, the example included shows even light-to-moderate toning throughout its entirety as well as fold lines and a small wrinkle along the bottom edge while finally, the Esposito poster shows even light toning throughout its entirety, fold line that are heavier in some spots over others and a stain over the upper reverse that is visible a bit through the upper right on the front. A neat complete set assembly of some seldomly seen good shape poster examples, don't miss out on these for your all-important collection.
