Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2016
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2016
Massive hoard of mid-to-late-1970s O-Pee-Chee hockey cards from the original owner which were neatly sorted out by teams includes more than 4000 cards from 1974-75 to 1980-81. Some of the better RC cards included are from 1974-75; Borje Salming (2), Lanny McDonald (4), Fred Shero (3), Bob Gainey (2), Scotty Bowman (2), Denis Potvin, Don Cherry and Rick Middleton (4). From 1978-79 we have rookie cards of Mike Bossy (2) and Dave Taylor. From 1980-81 we Have Mike Gartner (2), Mark Messier, Mike Liut and Ray Bourque. Numerous star cards includes Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Marcel Dionne, Gilbert Perreault, Ken Dryden, Stan Mikita and numerous others with everything detailed on our website.
The vast majority of the aforementioned '74-75 rookie cards are in the VG neighbourhood, with a crease spotted, while two of the McDonald RCs make it to VG-EX. Typically, condition improves with time, with one Bossy rookie at EX and the other close but off-centered. Centering is an issue with the Messier (otherwise EX) and Bourque (VG) rookies, with one of the Gartners nicely centered and EX-MT. Seven unmarked '79-80 checklists are notable, although all are affected by a crease or dinged corners. Three Bobby Hulls and a Gordie Howe from the same year average EX. In summary, plenty of sorting and sifting fun, along with interesting break-up value, awaits the new owner of this multi-shoebox-like find.
