A Wayne Gretzky rookie card for just $16.50? That is going to happen! Our sister company, Vintage Breaks, is offering a complete set break of 1979 O-Pee-Chee hockey cards including a PSA-graded Wayne Gretzky rookie card, and the break is only $16.50 per spot.

We love teaming with our sister company, . Many collections we have purchased here at Just Collect have been offered for sale in the form of a set break with Vintage Breaks. A set break gives you the opportunity to own a card from a coveted set where you may take home a key card from that set for a fraction of the price to purchase an iconic card. Today you can purchase a spot into a complete set break of 1979 OPC hockey that includes a rookie card of The Great One, Wayne Gretzky, for just $16.50.

1979 OPC HOCKEY SET BREAK

 

  • All 396 cards from the 1979 OPC hockey set are included in this break
  • Wayne Gretzky graded PSA 5
  • Gordie Howe graded ISA 6.5
  • Bobby Hull graded ISA 6
  • Guy Lafleur graded ISA 7
  • Mikey Bossy graded ISA 7

The condition of the set ranges from EX to EX-MT. Making final appearances on trading cards from their playing days are greats like Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, and Stan Mikita. As some of the legendary hockey players were retiring, the greatest to ever skate was entering the league; what a perfect time for hockey card collectors! 

Take a trip back in time when there was no ESPN (launched September 7th, 1979), gas was 88 cents a gallon, and you cruised all day listening to The Wall by Pink Floyd (released November 30th, 1979).

With 396 cards in the set, Vintage Breaks is only offering 396 spots in the set break - this ensures that you will take home a card from the set. The list of names is always randomized LIVE on the show as the break occurs; you have the same chance as everyone else in the break to land the cards you desire. For example, if after the random your name lands on spot #18, you take home that very same Wayne Gretzky rookie card you see above! Every spot you purchase will bring a card from this iconic hockey set to your personal collection. 

Each spot is only $16.50!

  • Travel to us

If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here

  • Come to the convention

We keep a LIST of the card shows we'll be attending.  Come stop by the Just Collect table and chat.

  • Meet in-person

If you have a valuable collection and want us to come to you, we'll hop on the next plane out. We recently took a trip to California to purchase a collection that included three Jackie Robinson 1948 Leaf rookie cards that you can read about here.

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!  

Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
