A Saskatchewan family sold a case full of unopened 1979 hockey card boxes for over $5 million. The boxes contain an unknown number of Wayne Gretzky rookie cards like this one. Around 1:00 a.m. EST on Sunday, bidding came to a close for a highly touted case filled with thousands of unopened 1979-1980 O-Pee-Chee brand hockey cards that a Saskatchewan family found in their attic.
The case holding unopened boxes of cards is estimated to possibly hold from 25 to 27 Wayne Gretzky cards from his rookie year, but no one knows for sure, according to Simonds. Values vary, but mint condition Gretzky rookie cards have been sold for $3.75 million. Simonds said he imagines the buyer will keep the cards sealed and not open them, but he isn't totally sure."I could imagine at some point the buyer will sell individual boxes of this case to collectors, and if that happens, then it's very possible that some of these will be opened."
