Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
Another neat lot from our consignor’s years-in-the-making collection, this one boasts cards with impressive like-new surfaces, (beauty original gloss!) and a majority of NM-or-better contributors among a rookie card-laden 396-card set. Intermittent condition exceptions are to be anticipated (1-Ray Bourque has a corner ding), along with O-Pee-Chee’s standard not-always-perfect centering, but that’ll be overlooked while appreciating the clean cardboard. The curvature that the cards have taken on since being removed from packs, collated and then tucked away decades ago for safe keeping is also to be aware of. Paul Coffey and Jari Kurri lead the RC roster, with Denis Savard, Larry Murphy, Andy Moog, Peter Stastny, Glenn Anderson, Kevin Lowe and Dino Ciccarelli also appearing on OPC cards for the first time. Wayne Gretzky’s well-centered regular issue (#106) has little to find fault with, while five others also feature The Great One. In similar condition overall and not often seen are close to one hundred cards that have blank backs, with Kurri, Stastny and Tim Kerr rookies, a checklist and some stars and Hall of Famers among them - very cool...and crisp! We count 85 wrappers out of well over 100 that are without edge tears, with a wax pack display box also saved. It includes a shot of Ranger goalie Doug Soetaert on the lid and had its four corners separated so the piece could lay flat. Talk about possibilities galore, this stuff rocks.
