Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
From the dawning of an era that would see Wayne Gretzky rack up record upon record while leading the Edmonton Oilers to multiple Stanley Cup triumphs comes his cherished O-Pee-Chee rookie card, prompting a look back at his wizardry. Four 200-plus point seasons, (when the previous record was Esposito’s 152), a 92-goal campaign (shattering Phil's record of 76), 50 goals in 39(!) games and so many other, until that time, unheard of numbers propelled Wayne's coveted rookie card to always-in-demand status, with collectors from all segments of the hobby becoming aware in recent times of the importance of The Great One's RC. Housed in an older style PSA holder, the grading guru's have just recently assigned this high-grade copy of the famed card #18 an esteemed mark of NM 7, beautifully displaying the image over the front just slightly off-center from left-to-right and avoiding the rough cut edges that O-Pee-Chee cards of the era are known for. Sporting four sharp corners and gorgeous colours that surely contribute to the high-grade designation the card was preserved with, the reverse of the card shows the blue lines on the reverse that signify it as being from the first print run. Housed in a PSA holder that is as nice as the card inside it, don’t let your all-important vintage collection go without this copy of the hobby’s most famous card.
