Complete, original unopened wax box of 1985-1986 O-Pee-Chee Hockey containing forty-eight unopened wax packs. This is only the sixth unopened wax box from this series we have offered in the past 20 years! The 1985-1986 O-Pee-Chee Hockey set includes the rookie card of Hall of Famer Lemieux and many other Hall of Famers including Gretzky, MacInnis, Yzerman, and Bourque. Given the meteoric rise of high-grade rookie cards recently, including the incredible $78,000 public auction sale of a GEM MINT 10 O-Pee-Chee Lemieux in February 2021, it is hard not to consider the increased value prospects of a completely original unopened wax box of this classic issue. This box comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (Steve Hart), the foremost expert on unopened material. The store display box is bright and bold with light shelf wear. Opening Bid $10.
