Regarded as one of the most iconic trading cards, Wayne Gretzky’s #18 rookie card from the 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee and Topps sets is a must-have for hockey card collectors of all ages. This is one of the hottest cards in the hobby today. For 40 years, generations of collectors have coveted Gretzky’s rookie card and it remains by far the most-desired hockey card of the 1980s. There was no telling at the time that The Great One would accomplish so much in the game and this card has remained consistently popular. Offered here, we present this copy of Wayne’s coveted O-Pee-Chee rookie card has earned a respectable mark of VG-EX 4 after inspection by the graders at PSA. Displaying with an image that is off-center from left-to-right as well as top-to-bottom, the card shows the commonly seen rough cut edges of O-Pee-Chee releases of the era on three (3) of the (4) sides and light wear touches to all four (4) corners. Retaining stunning colours over the front and a clean reverse that shows good centering, the card is housed in a good condition PSA holder that light scratches and scuffs over both sides that are worth mentioning for accuracy.
