O-pee Chee cards

[DLC]

I have full sets of old o pee chee hockey cards for sale. Does anyone know of person or hobby store who buys cards?

Really depends on what you mean by 'old'. Complete sets from the 60s or 70s are (likely) pretty easy to move. Same with the early 80s. Mid-late 80s are going to be harder, but I would imagine if it's older than 89-90, in good shape, and you don't want a ton for it - you should be able to move it out. 89-90, and into the early 90s: I don't think you could sell the set for the cost to ship it.

If the cards are in good shape then get the top cards graded. If you want the top return go with PSA. Then when you have the cards back you can either sell them yourself on ebay or if you don't want to do the work you can send them to a consignor.

Hi - I see you’re in Alberta… there are card shops in Edmonton and Calgary that would good places to start. They’ll want to see the condition of the cards - if you’ve got sets starting with 69/70 OPC there are a lot of desirable cards there. You could also sell them yourself on eBay or through other means, but it’s a lot of work.

Start with your local card shops and go from there. Good luck.

I'd echo what everyone else said. If you want top dollar, grade the key singles - and then sell them on eBay, FB, forums like this - or go through a consignor to make it easy (you give up some of the sales, but it's simpler).

There's some big card shops in AB (Wayne's in Edmonton comes to mind) that would be a good place to take some - and get an honest option of what you've got.

If you pieced out the best 30 cards from that 20 year era, graded them, and sold them - you'd probably still have an easy time moving the remainder as "near sets" either locally through FB, listing them on eBay, on forums, to a card shop, etc.

For example: I had a set of 79-80 OPC. Condition was good, but not great. It was missing the Gretzky.... had it in a binder, had a reprint Gretzky in there to fill the spot in the page. It was a few years ago, but I got around $200 for it (keep in mind there are no other real great cards in that set. The "top" cards after Gretzky would probably be Howe, Hull, the Oilers Team Logo, the other "new" team logos, and maybe the Semenko RC?)

If the cards are all in really sharp condition, you should be able to find interested buyers. Just depends on how much effort you want to put in. Locally is a million times easier, because then you don't have to ship bulk.... but you're also limiting the size of your market.
