Just purchased this 1985 OPC Hockey pack with Mario Lemieux’s rookie card on the back. This has been my white whale of unopened packs. I did not think I would ever find this pack considering only 4 packs have been graded by PSA and 1 of those packs is the league leader card which is currently on ebay.
It was a nice surprise to see this pack on BBCE website after the National. I will be attending the National next year in AC and hope to meet some of the board members. I want to thank Grote for answering my questions regarding the wrinkle on the back of the wrapper. He said this was common in wax packs from this era as result of the sealing process.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
I've met a lot of great people this year and looking forward to next year - hope to me you there.
Thanx for sharing.

i've read that they only come on the back or in the middle coupled w/ gretzky as the next card following....
