Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/2/2023
From a special time in hockey history, when the World Hockey Association arrived on the scene, up for grabs here is this assembly of 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee hockey cards including a near complete set (340/341) as well as sixty-five (65) extra offerings. Displaying in a consistent EX-MT condition range, the set is missing only card #146 of Gary Dornhoefer while the complete WHA subset is complete and in the same condition range with some a bit better. The 2nd year cards of 8-Dionne, 59-Lafleur and 145-Dryden are found in the vicinity of EX-MT while cards 59-Orr All-Stars and 129-Orr are in the same condition range. Other keys in the same EX-MT condition scope include; 14-Clarke, 111-Espositio, 227-Park/Orr All-Stars and 228-Hull. For the checklists, #6 and #334 are found in the same EX-MT condition range as other cards while #19 is in the EX vicinity and #190 is closer to EX/EX-MT. For the main near-complete set, key WHA offerings of Hull (EX-MT) and Cheevers (VG – Small crease) are present.
For the doubles that are included, a complete WHA subset is present including two (2) unmarked copies of checklist #334 in EX-MT+ condition, card #336 of Bobby Hull is seen around EX/EX-MT while #340 of Gerry Cheevers is viewed as EX-MT+. For the NHL doubles, notables include Johnny Bucyk and Dave Keon. The collection of extras are all in uniform condition with the rest of the group/set (EX-MT) with just a small number of exceptions due to corner/edge wear and/or light creases.
