Hockey Help Please - 1970 Esso Power Players

Crazylegs

Hello Hockey Fans!
I just picked these up in a large collection. 1970/71 Esso packs.
They are complete 6 stamp packets in amazing condition front and back.
I have 16 dif. packets. Stars like Howe, Hull, Perreault, Park, Esposito...
I have included a few pictures so you can see the condition.

I see that PSA grades these and only a handful have been graded in the full sheet form.

I know hockey stars names but that is about it.
Should I keep them as sheets? They seem much rarer that way.

Does anyone have an idea on value?

Any and all information on these is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance Crazylegs

Hi,

The 70-71 Esso set is solid. The problem with most individual stickers is that they are off centered, so you are better off leaving them as a sheet if you want to grade them. That said, I have no idea how PSA grades o/c sheets.

The pop is low on this set mostly because the realized eBay sales outside of Orr are pretty weak. PSA set registry collectors will pay for their players (myself included) but outside of that there isn't much demand.

I have the set stuck in its original book, and I think most hockey collectors are fine with having the cards they way they were intended to be used.

But...if you have a Jean Beliveau or Henri Richard I would be interested in buying them.

Thanks,

Nathaniel

Frozencaribou and Goye thanks for the info.
Think I will prob. keep them as sheets.
I am considering having them graded just to keep them safe.

What service would I use with PSA to get the sheet graded?

I have only graded individual cards in the past.

Thanks for the help Crazylegs
