The iconic 1979 O-Pee-Chee #18 Wayne Gretzky Rookie Card
One of the toughest sets to collect in mint condition of almost any sport, any year, and it isn’t tough to see why.
Known as ‘Rough Cuts’
A nickname symptomatic of an antiquated cutter with a dull blade cutting stacks of 100 to 200 cards at a time. Remove the notion of quality control, and you have a collector’s delight. Or frustration. Read about other fun discoveries in the O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky Rookie and throughout the 1979 O-Pee-Chee Hockey card series.
Print-Run Mystery Date Solved
The only empirical knowledge we have are trade dates and how they are reflected in the card design, a distinction not shared in the Topps version. Practical methodology finally answers the question of when the 1979 O-Pee-Chee Print-Run took place.

The Thankfull Adams petition to the Probate Court of the State of Massachusetts Bay in April 1777 for dissolution of the estate of Elihu Adams

Like the other sets, 1969 football offers a high-contrast, sharp and clean look with bright colours.

Beautiful AD&D books and manuals, where simply reading them for the illustrations and gameplay was as much fun as using them as game guides.
