Offered is an outstanding example of the important 1968 O-Pee-Chee Hockey set, a blazing Near-Mint or better monster, with exceptional color and gloss and the coveted “vending bend” that so eloquently speaks of uncirculated cardboard. As is customary with vending, there can be centering vagaries, and this array has about four dozen cards that might typically prompt thoughts of an upgrade, though not all of those would be severe enough to dictate an off-center designation. The breakdown: No. 1 Harvey – Ex-Mt, 2 Orr – Near-Mint o/c, 5 Bucyk – Nr-Mt m/c, 7 Phil Esposito – Nr-Mt o/c, 16 Hull – Nr-Mt o/c, 29 Howe – Nr-Mt, 31 Mahovlich – Nr-Mt o/c, 34 Sawchuck – Nr-Mt, 56 Worsley – Nr-Mt o/c, 62 Cournoyer – Nr-Mt-Plus, 67 Giacomin – Very Good, 72 Gilbert – Nr-Mt o/c, 73 – Nr-Mt m/c, 77 Ratelle – Nr-Mt o/c, 81 – Nr-Mt o/c, 121 Checklist – Ex-Mt and 122 Bower – Nr-Mt o/c.
