Wayne Gretzky’s soaring rookie card is of course the star attraction here, with however the accompanying cards attractive too, given their invitingcondition. Famous card #18 picturing the teenage phenom as he embarked on his record-breaking NHL career is encapsulated in an older PSA holder and received NM-MT 8 recognition, with two minuscule white specs observed at the bottom two corners. Other PSA-slabbed contributors are MINT 9 examples of #80-Tony Esposito and 185-Bobby Hull, with 40-Salming and 155-Mikita at NM-MT 8 and the same four cards also appearing in a binder that houses the rest of the 264-card set. The duplicate Hull, along with stars Howe, Dryden and Lafleur are NM+, with a large majority of others NM-or-better and some EX-MTs also present. Intermittent white specs are spotted, with checklists and team checklists not marked. Card #1-Goal Leaders is a condition exception, affected by rubber band indentations, with edge wear lowering the Mike Bossy second-year card. The error card - 8-Shutout Leaders - is not present but a swell complement is a complete set of 22 helmet and stick decals. In short, some alluring ever-popular blue border beauties await the high bidder.
We do not detect any scratches to the front of the Gretzky PSA holder, with a few very subtle ones on the back.
