Marcel Dionne, 71-72 OPC RC. Real happy with this one! The condition is fantastic and looks much better in hand than what it did in the sellers scans.

Nice looking Dionne. Great addition congrats.

Thanks David.

There is a tiny little speck of something near Marcel's right ear that is stuck on there very good. I seen it in the sellers scans but I assumed/was hoping if was just dirt on his scanner's surface but that wasn't the case.
Regardless of that, and the fact it shows up more from a scan than it does in hand, I am still real happy with it.

Beautiful pick ups. Really like the signed book and the black bottom print Orr.
One of my favorite Orr's. Picked this up last week and it's now on it's way to Steve.

Will always pick up centered Gretzky and Lemieux opc rookies in any grade.
Got these off ebay this month.

Is that a Lemieux box bottom in your last pick? I'm not familiar with them all that much but it looks attached to to player beside him?
Nice looking packs you have coming.

A couple recent arrivals. Terry Sawchuk and Pat Verbeek.

Pat Verbeek is not a HOF'r but I just recently found out his birthday is exactly the same as mine. Same day, same month, same year, so I thought I'd grab it up just for fun.

Yes. Lemieux is on the bottom of the box. I remembered opening these in 1985-87 and thinking the box bottom was just as cool as the regular issue.

The opc Gretzky has a minor surface wrinkle/crease on the yellow on the boards that can't be seen well. Not on the back. Looks like a PSA 5, but got the PSA 2 because of that wrinkle.

It was only recently, within the last 6-8 months, that I actually seen the Mario box bottom for sale and was quite surprised at the final price. It was just something, at the time, that was quite surprising to me as I never dreamt box bottoms would fetch such a price. Also reaffirmed I have lots to learn.

That's a great looking 2.

Congrats on the pick up.
