This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/28/2023
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 "1982/83 OPC Hockey Unopened Wax Box (Tape Intact)" with the still intact tape only adding to the allure the box carries. Presenting in beautiful condition with the top lid not having been perforated, very light surface wear is observed over all four (4) sides as well as the top and bottom, with the latter of the two areas sporting the heaviest wear of the all. With the top lid slightly folded over the edges on both sides, minor wear is observed to the corners, heaviest at the point at the top left at the front edge. Displaying the original purchase price of .25 per pack the top right on the lid, it is worth pointing out that a small liquid stain is observed at the back right corner on the bottom and a ding is present at the bottom right corner on the front as well. A true gem, numerous opportunities and questions as to keep it sealed or bust it open await our lucky winning bidder!
