Help with Value for 1933/34 OPC Set?

[bcl87]

A friend of mine has inherited a full ungraded set (72 cards plus the album that you mailed away for) of the 1933/34 OPC (Series A & B) - the first OPC set ever produced. I have inspected the cards and while I am no expert, most look like they are in reasonable shape (maybe PSA 5.5 - 6 avg). The bigger names - Morenz, Shore, Conacher are all in good shape. He framed the cards and album but left the cards in the 9 slot plastic sheets.

He is possibly looking to sell the set but has absolutely no idea what it is worth. I suggested that he could put it on Ebay with a high BIN and see what offers come in.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No clue whatsoever on value, but that is pretty damn cool.

Wow, just wow. No idea on value other than "a lot".

Not sure on a price for the whole set, but if the Morenz and Shore are really worthy of a 5.5 or 6, those two alone are worth a couple grand (combined) easily IMO. If they are all in the 5-6 grade range, it is one of very few sets with cards in that grade range. According to PSA, the amount of 33/34 OPC A/B singles sent in for grading is very low compared to other vintage sets. There's just not a lot of them sent in for grading for some reason, probably due to there being not a lot in mid-high grade condition left in the world. Here's an article about them - http://www.psacard.com/Articles/Art...ollecting-the-1933-o-pee-chee-hockey-card-set

If they truly are mostly in the 5-6 range, I would try to snag that set in a heartbeat if the price is not through the roof. The main thing to watch out for though is trimmed cards which is common with these. I would measure them to make sure they have not been trimmed before buying the set.
