Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction December 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/13/2022
After coming out of nowhere, so to speak, to heroically backstop the Montreal Canadiens to the franchise’s 23rd Stanley Cup championship in the spring of 1986, Patrick Roy likely seemed like an appropriate/obvious choice to the deciders at O-Pee-Chee to appear on the company’s ’86-87 hockey card display boxes. With seemingly never enough supply to meet demand, the pictured Roy rookie card is the likes of which you’ll be hoping for if you decide to go searching through some or all of the 48 packs contained within. They’re seven-card affairs and have been guaranteed as not having been searched by unopen specialist Baseball Card Exchange. BBCE’s shrink-wrap surrounds the box and affixed to the underside are the company’s stickers and certification number. Mario Lemieux second-year cards are also possible, while guaranteed is a Mario box bottom card, joined by those of McDonald, Nicholls and Ridley, with an image of the second-year Mario on a side panel – cool. The box exhibits minor wear with small dings/wear noticeable on the corners with the top of the box also showing some surface wear and a few noticeable small creases/folds and a few small spots of discoloration which are are to be noted as well. The bottom of the box also exhibits some surface wear mostly noticeable on the edges. Overall the box displays well but you’ll be focusing on Patrick while wondering whether there’s one….or two high grade Roy rookies inside – it’s not often that a set’s most coveted card appears on the display box – you gotta love ’86-87 boxes – good luck with this infrequently offered jackpot.
