This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/20/2020
Legendary hockey history-makers in our title lead this interesting batch, with O-Pee-Chee rookie cards recently back from PSA led chronologically by a rather attractive VG 3 Wayne Gretzky rookie. There’s also Ray Bourque (NM-MT 8), Steve Yzerman, (MINT 9 (OC)), Mario Lemieux (EX 5) and Patrick Roy (NM-MT 8 (OC)) RCs. Some decent break-up value among the raw rest too, with actually one other slabbed card; a ’67-68 Topps Orr All-Star card was very generously graded 4-VGE many years ago by KSA. Some three dozen other ’67-68s average VG and include Sanderson RC (VG), Esposito, two different Howes, Hull (VG-EX) and #118-Orr Calder (G). Please see our website for more of the lowdown and numerous images of the most notable contributors.
A few star cards from the late-1960s and early-‘70s, along with a Brett Hull RC are noteworthy among the rather sparse Topps contingent, with the rest OPC representatives. A tad of ’74-75 WHA action is present (Hull, Plante), with some decent rookies (Bowman, Cherry, Potvin, Salming, McDonald, Gainey, Middleton, Davidson) and stars (Orr, Espo, Lafleur, Dryden) from the ’74-75 NHL set. A few more WHA stars from ’75-76 (Hull, Howe, Cheevers, checklist), more Hall of Famers from the mid-‘70s (Dionne, Potvin, Clarke, Perreault, Sittler and others join the aforementioned), rookie cards of Trottier (EX), Bossy (EX) and others, Gordie and Bobby and some checklist action from ’79-80 and then it’s on to the ‘80s..…..where many well-known rookie cards contribute, including those of Messier (VG), Gartner, Coffey, Kurri, Moog, Anderson, Stastny, Fuhr, Hawerchuk, Lindbergh, Stevens, Carbonneau, Gilmour, Neely, Chelios, Lafontaine, MacInnis, Vanbiesbrouck, Clark, Robitaille, Oates, Hull, Shanahan and Sakic. There are upwards of three dozen Gretzky regular and special issues, along with other stars, rookies and checklists, as well as some duplication - great for both collectors and vendors. We don’t necessarily spot any super high grade material but not much low grade either – overall, you’ll be pleased to peruse, sort and classify!
