This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/18/2025
A chance to score a trio of near-complete and complete classic O-Pee-Chee offerings from the mid-1980s is offered here, through these assemblies of the company's hockey releases that date from the 1985-86 and 1986-87 (2) seasons of play. All featuring a total of 264-cards in their respective checklists, all the sets have been checked for if the key/more expensive cards are present and cards deemed to be missing are listed in the breakdown below. Starting with a near-complete set from 1985-86 that features 263 of the 264 cards needed, missing is only that of card #177 which pictures Mark Messier over the front. Housed in binder pages that have price stickers affixed over most of the cards, the set includes key cards such as those of 9-Lemieux RC (GOOD - border and corner wear plus a thin crease), 29-Yzerman (GOOD - crease at top right corner), 110-Lindbergh (EX to EX-MT - bottom left corner wear), 120-Gretzky (G to VG - corner wear and surface scratches), 237-MacInnis RC (FR - creased) and 262-Lemixux RSL (VG to VG-EX - tiny crease seen at the top left on the reverse and corner wear). Of note for the other cards in the set, many show corner wear that is worth mentioning for accuracy. Moving on to the first grouping of cards from 1986-87, the assembly is a near-complete example that includes 261 of the 264 cards in the checklist, missing #'s 262, 263 and 264 for completion. Housed in binder pages and looking to be in the overall condition range of EX-MT, included are those of 3-Gretzky (FR - rounded corners and dings), 9-Vanbiesbrouck RC (FR to G - rounded corners), 11-Yzerman (FR to G - rounded corners), 53-Roy RC (EX - small dings to three of the four corners), 122-Lemieux (VG to VG-EX - 2nd year card - corner dings) and 149-Clark RC (VG-EX to EX - small corner dings). For the second set from 1986-87, those one complete with all 264-cards present and accounted for but including a marked copy of checklist #165, the set is housed in binder pages and appears to be in the overall range of EX-MT on average but with price stickers atop of many of the included cards. For the key cards, included are those of 3-Gretzky (EX-MT to NM - very tiny smudge on the back near the top), 9-Vanbiesbrouck RC (VG-EX to EX - wear to left side corners), 11-Yzerman (EX-MT to NM), 53-Roy RC (PR - large crease and rounded corners), 122-Lemieux (G to VG - 2nd year card - off-center and corner wear) and 149-Clark RC (EX to EX-MT - slight corner wear).
