While individual 1982-83 OPC Hockey rack packs are some of the most common of those OPC released between 1979 and 1989, cases are rare. This one was offered for sale in April 2006.
Interestingly, OPC was the only company to make a major hockey set this year; Topps didn’t issue cards in 1982-83. Anywho, you can see on the case that it held four sealed 24-count boxes, each containing 51-card rack packs from O-Pee-Chee. The set’s key rookies include Dale Hawerchuk, Brent Sutter, Grant Fuhr, and Ron Francis.
The Baseball Card Exchange offered this sealed case for $3,375 at some point in its history (there’s no date online).
BBCE must have offered that case for sale quite a while ago because REA sold this single rack box for $5,040 in late 2023.
To round things out, here’s an example rack pack with Wayne Gretzky’s record-breaker card on top. It sold for $275 in April 2024.
