Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
An alluring box of unopened O-Pee-Chee hockey card wax packs is offered here and reveals that kids/collectors saw Quebec Nordiques’ star Peter Stastny's image at convenience stores during the 1983-84 season. Stastny had finished runner-up to Wayne Gretzky in the scoring race the previous season, although his 124 points were 72(!) fewer than Wayne’s. When opening (25-cent) packs, collectors discovered various cards of Gretzky and his exciting Oiler teammates, along with rookie cards of Pelle Lindbergh, Scott Stevens, Guy Carbonneau, Phil Housley and others. To bust or keep intact will be the winning bidder's privilege, with GEM MINT cards surely among the 480 contained in the 48 (10-card) packs. BBCE's shrink wrap surrounds the splendid brick, with the company’s logo not affecting the picture of Stastny – a swell bonus in our eyes. A couple of small light creases are spotted in the box top, with a ding to the lower left corner of the box bottom. There is scotch tape repair where the back and (right) side panels meet, as well as wear to the box bottom’s corners. All to be overlooked when admiring the attractive displayable attributes, while contemplating the contents. A Baseball Card Exchange label is stuck on the shrink wrap on the box bottom, sealing the deal, so to speak.
