Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Despite the Topps release having a smaller checklist than its Canadian made O-Pee-Chee counterpart, both sets still included Wayne Gretzky’s now iconic rookie card as card #18 with the young phenom pictured over the front with his Titan stick in hand and wearing his WHA Oilers uniform from the previous season. Offered here, and sure to pique the interest of many, is this example of Wayne’s 1979-80 Topps rookie card that has been inspected and encapsulated by the graders at PSA who have deemed it worthy of an EX 5 mark. Slightly off-center right-to-left and off from top-to-bottom as well, the card still displays excellent colours as well as good corners and edges when viewed with the naked eye. Showing a few small “fisheyes” from the printing process over the front, a small bubble is seen to the surface near Wayne’s top hand. Retaining a clean but still off-centre reverse, the card is housed in a PSA holder that remains in excellent condition while showing light scratches over each side.
