1982 O-Pee-Chee Dale Hawerchuk (RC) #380 — Graded 5.5
A highly collectible rookie from one of hockey’s most talented playmakers, this 1982 O-Pee-Chee Dale Hawerchuk #380 carries classic early-80s design and strong on-card presence. Graded 5.5, the card presents moderate wear consistent with circulation: visible edge and corner softening, light surface marks, and modest centering variance. Image clarity and color remain good, showcasing Hawerchuk’s signature helmeted portrait and team colors.
Why it matters:
Rookie card of a Hall of Fame career: Hawerchuk was a dynamic scorer and playmaker who made an immediate impact in the NHL.
Vintage appeal: O-Pee-Chee print runs and Canadian distribution make this card desirable for vintage collectors and those building early-80s sets.
Grade balance: A 5.5 offers attainable vintage raw-card aesthetics with better-than-average eye appeal, ideal for collectors wanting a presentable rookie without the premium of higher grades.
Condition notes: expect typical vintage aging—minor corner wear, slight surface scuffs, and non-pristine centering. Encapsulated grade provides protection and a reliable condition benchmark.
A solid addition for vintage hockey collections, rookie-focused builds, or fans of Hawerchuk looking for authentic early-career memorabilia.
