Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
On top of the hockey world with his unbelievable 212 points scored in 1981-82 including 92 goals, Wayne Gretzky kept kids ripping through wax packs to secure his cards the following season, with the offered 1982-83 O-Pee-Chee hockey card wax box thankfully escaping ravaging youthful hands. Containing 48 packs with 10 cards-per-pack, 480 possibly high-grade cards await, including the desirable cards of Gretzky along with the rookies for Grant Fuhr, Ron Francis and Dale Hawerchuk. Certified by BBCE and shrink-wrapped with their hologram and label affixed to the underside, the label states " Wax Box" handwritten in blue ballpoint pen ink along with the year of “1982/83” and the brand of “OPC”. Presenting in beautiful condition, light surface wear dots the top lid with the fold up display that depicts “The Great One” having been perforated while the single piece of scotch tape applied over the front edge is no longer intact. For the rest of the box, the story is largely the same as above in terms of condition as all four sides and the bottom show just light surface wear and spots of colour loss that don’t detract from this gem in any way. Also showing light edge and corner wear, the heaviest of which is present at the bottom point on the front side, the sides of the top lid fold over the left and right sides slightly as well. A true gem, numerous opportunities and questions as to keep it sealed or bust it open await our lucky winning bidder!
