Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/26/2021
A prodigy growing up in Brantford, Ontario, Wayne Gretzky appears here in his first year as a professional hockey player, his astonishing scoring exploits over the next two decades rendering his rookie cards forever popular. This example of card #18 from O-Pee-Chee's 1979-80 issue has appealing centering going for it, with visible wear at the corners and three small (less than a half-inch) peripheral creases not affecting the image of big Wayne but leading, in part, to KSA's recent 3 VG verdict. Some hobbyists believe that the two thin blue parallel lines at the bottom of the cartoon on the back point to OPC's first print run that season but others do not agree. What we all can agree on is the fact that The Great One dominated his/our sport like no other. A KSA holder free of scratches is also to mention.
