Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2022

Those of you who have yet to acquire a high grade example of Wayne Gretzky’s coveted 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee rookie card or if you’ve yet to secure one in PSA 8 form for your important Gretzky portfolio, a marvelous opportunity to do so presents itself here. Wayne’s career numbers, (his assist total is higher than any other player’s point total!), his accomplishments (a winner of 31! individual NHL trophies/awards and a contributor to four Stanley Cup titles) and his dozens of NHL records (he had 60! upon retirement) sure are interesting to contemplate, as are the numbers when one scrutinizes the PSA Population Report. The grading firm has inspected well over 8,500 OPC Gretz RCs since its inception and just 132, as of this writing, have been awarded marks above NM-MT 8. The offered example merited NM-MT 8 recognition several years ago, as you can tell by the early PSA holder, with not-precise but appealing centering and a clean surface leading its attributes. An extremely lightly touched bottom left corner is detected upon close inspection. An absolute prerequisite to a paramount sports/rookie card collection is famous card #18 from OPC’s 1979-80 issue, with this Wayne ready to enhance yours. *A one-inch vertical scratch to the front of the PSA holder, mostly in The Great One’s pants area, is joined by a few small subtle ones.
