Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Two of hockey’s all-time greatest talents, Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky, are pictured on this box of 1988-89 O-Pee-Chee cards, with the image of Wayne on a side panel curiously not the one that appeared on his OPC card that season but rather his Topps version (Gretz holding up his new L.A. Kings jersey). The box has been inspected, certified and sealed by Baseball Card Exchange, the firm’s shrink-wrap featuring an identifying sticker and accompanying hologram on the bottom, where box bottom cards of Bourque, Craven/Propp, Hawerchuk and Yzerman appear, although again, different images were used in the actual set. Inside are 48 (7-card) packs, with rookie cards of Brett Hull and Brendan Shanahan the most important/valuable and bolstering the 264-card set’s popularity over the years. The box exhibits minimal handling/wear, with touches to the bottom corners and light additional wear along edges.
