Picked up a nice hockey lot from local seller

[lakesidez]

I'm not really into hockey but do have a Gretzky rookie on my bucket list, granted this collection that I picked up didn't have a Gretzky rookie, but definitely some other nice items. Just wanted to share.......as it's always cool what I'd call salvage these and pull them from someone wanting to basically toss them away.

1986-87 OPC complete set with Patrick Roy rookie
1986-87 Topps Patrick Roy rookie
1980-81 Wayne Gretzky (unscratched)
1984-85 OPC Steve Yzerman rookie
1980-81 OPC Mark Messier rookies (x2)
Donruss Elite Series 10-card set all numbered /10,000
x3 1990-91 OPC Premier sets (1-132)
1990-91 Upper Deck High Series French Sealed 36-pack box
1990-91 Upper Deck Sealed 36-pack box
1990-91 Upper Deck Sealed High # Set (x2 sets - cards 401-550)
1991-92 Upper Deck Sealed 36-pack box Czech Edition
1994-95 Topps Finest Hockey Complete Set 1-165
Patrick Roy Autograph
Eric Lindros Autograph

Pile of other Upper Deck rookies, Jagr, and other inserts.

Then a bunch of insert sets and smaller sets, like SP Silver Skates, Donruss Ice Kings, etc.

Thanks everyone, yeah for me I just like the feeling of salvaging something they had the potential of getting tossed away or thrown in a closet for the next 20 years. Gives me a chance to pull some items for my PC as well as move things onto others. Plus it’s even given me an appreciation for hockey cards and forcing me to research and learn about the notable players.

Did this person hide under a rock and not know about the recent card boom? I can't see any former serious collector not thinking these decent cards and sets were worthless.
