Crazy story for sure. Glad it showed up and it is a beauty. Congrats.

Now that is a very neat item. I really like that. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice sheet. Looks like Richard, Mahovlich, and Howe.

At first I was going to say "Howe" could they print a sheet with Gordie shooting left handed ? Then I remembered that Gordie would actually go to his left hand sometimes in games when he needed to.

Looks like Geoffrion, Bower and Barilko round out the five hockey scenes.

Hi Winston

I hope all is well.
I believe those glasses were issued in 1984-85 and I know of at least 13.
(Bell, Hunter, Gosselin, Goulet, Gillis, Bouchard, Savard, Marois, A Stastny, P Stastny, M Stastny, the Stastny brothers and one other)
I could not tell you what constitutes a complete set though.
Hope this info helps.

That actually helps a lot. I was talking with Bobby and he was not familiar with the set so he could not help me with much information. TTYS and stay safe.

I started putting together the '70-'71 OPC Deckle Edge set, and I've been enjoying the chase. I'm picking up the commons for between $2 and $5 which makes for some affordable fun.
I've also been trying for some of the '69-'70 OPC Mini Card Albums, but I keep getting outbid. I did purchase this low grade example for $7.92 with a slightly trimmed Bobby Orr.
