Hello and welcome to Leslies Auction and Northcountry Cardboard collectables.  Up for bid is a 1989 O-PEE CHEE Mario Lemieux card. This card is one of very few that were a Buyback from the Topps Company, Stamped in the lower Right hand corner "2003 Topps Fan Favorite Vintage card and reinserted into 2003 Topps packs, at an unknown rate. These cards are so rare, Beckets dosent have them listed N/A, they dont have them listed at all. If you Google the 2003 topps Hockey OPC buybacks, they do have the information on the cards, but no buyback amount was ever released by Topps. I personally have only seen 1 other card from the 2003 Topps Buybacks. This does make for an interesting item and to put a value on it, is impossible. This is a great item for a Pens fan or Mario Fan, that wants an item that nobody else could have. These could be 1/1s, theirs just no way of telling. The ratio per Topps Hobby box, lists these at 1 per every 2 cases!!! The question is, is their many of this one card or just this one. The other one i saw was right here on Ebay, a few months back and it was a 1972, i believe, points leader card with Espo, orr and jean Ratelle, I Believe, but not positive. I think this would make a great investment, as to the rarity of information goes, as well. I will list this as a BIN item, at a price i think is fair, but i honestly have no idea, as it could be worth 10X what im letting it go for. It could be worth less, theirs just no way of determining the value. I would say grab the card??? Anyway, Best of luck, God Bless and if anyone has any other info on these, please message me. I would really like to know.  Thank You!!

IMPORTANT: Im happy to be able to offer my items internationally. Unfortunatly, due to the absurd number of lost, stolen, destroyed and claims of non-receipt, i have no choice but to ship with some form of tracking, Registration  and/or insurance. This is not only for my protection, but for yours as well. This policy is 100% enforced and their is no negotations. Its a simple matter for any buyer to understand, i would hope.  If i ship 1st class, with no proof/tracking of package and said package comes up missing or is destroyed or i just happen to be dealing with a dishonest buyer, i lose my card and im also out the money, that will be refunded to you by paypal. With that said, i ask that you please refrain from asking me to ship 1st class. Im well aware that i could ship an item to Canada for about $3.00, but without the tracking/Insurance/Registered mail, their is no proof and when you sell with Ebay, with no proof of shipment, you lose every time.  Thanks for your understanding.
