This is a simply spectacular example of the important 1978 O-Pee-Chee Hockey issue, a stunning Near-Mint or even better presentation in a binder, with a very significant number of Near-Mint to Mint and with some Ex-Mt cards, all boasting wonderful colors and photo registration. Headlined by a Near-Mint example of the key Mike Bossy Rookie, the popular set boasts a roster of HOFers and Rookies that nicely conform to the broader condition range, as noted in the breakdown below. As was often customary with some of the North-of-the-Border O-Pee-Chee offerings, there can be some off-centers included in the mix, along with the occasional rough cut that was often a hallmark of these issues. The breakdown: No. 1 Bossy Highlight – Near-Mint, 6 – Excellent, 8 – m/c, 50 Dryden – Nr-Mt, 63 – Ex-Mt, 75 Mikita – Nr-Mt, 90 Lafleur – Nr-Mt, 115 Bossy Rookie – Nr-Mt, 143 Federko – Nr-Mt, 168 Wilson Rookie – Nr-Mt, 177 Duguay Rookie – Nr-Mt, 215 Clarke – Nr-Mt, 261 – m/c, 275 – m/c, 300 Orr – Nr-Mt to Mt, 312 Carlyle Rookie – Nr-Mt to Mt, 319 Sutter Rookie – Nr-Mt, 330 Dryden All-Star – Nr-Mt, 353 Taylor Rookie – Nr-Mt and 369 m/c.
