Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2025
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/18/2025
On top of the hockey world with his unbelievable 212 points scored in 1981-82 including 92 goals, Wayne Gretzky kept kids ripping through wax packs to secure his cards the following season, with the offered 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee hockey card wax box thankfully escaping ravaging youthful hands. Containing 48 packs with 10 cards-per-pack, 480 possibly high-grade cards await, including the desirable cards of Gretzky along with the rookies for Grant Fuhr, Ron Francis and Dale Hawerchuk. Certified by BBCE and shrink-wrapped with their hologram and label affixed to the underside, the label states "1982/83 OPC Hockey Unopened Wax Box" while the once intact strip of scotch tape that sealed the box is still present over the front edge despite being broken. Remaining in overall excellent condition for its effort, a small amount of corner and edge wear is observed over the top and bottom while a touch of surface wear is seen over the top lid as well along with over the bottom of the box, where it is heavier. With the fold up display lid, which displays the original per pack purchase price of .25 cents, only partially perforated, the box has been sealed in a shrink wrap that displays the BBCE logo over its entirety and which remains fully intact and in excellent condition. A true gem that has been spared from opening since it was first packed with treasures on its interior, numerous opportunities and questions as to keep it sealed or bust it open await our lucky winning bidder!
