This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/7/2017
Impressively and professionally matted and framed and ready to impress family, friends and colleagues is this captivating display, highlighted by the famous rookie card of hockey’s all-time most prolific scoring machine, Wayne Gretzky. The Gretz RC is in the second row from the top, eighth card from the left and one has to be really up close to spot a light half-inch horizontal crease near the right edge, with cards of Hall of Famers Dionne and Ratelle in proximity and Bobby Smith’s RC directly to the left. Other individual images to admire include those of legends Howe and Hull in their last cardboard appearances, all of the team cards, some “leader” cards and team logos of NHL newcomers Edmonton, Winnipeg and Hartford. A horizontal scratch in the upper left corner affects three cards, with only a couple of small light creases detected elsewhere, along with a few wrinkles in the white right border. All eyes will be on Wayne and company, with ooohs and aaaahs bringing a big proud grin to your face – this display is dazzling!
The uncut sheet is indeed under glass, while the frame’s dimensions are 36” by 51”, with solid wire on the reverse, ready to be hung. Addendum; The sheet is framed in a very solid metal frame with a beautiful chrome finish. It is framed behind high end UV protective glass and was professionally mounted (acid free) on a beautiful burgundy suede matting. No expense was spared in the framing of this incredible piece.
