An iconic rookie card of Pittsburgh Penguins legend Mario Lemieux from the 1985-86
O-Pee-Chee set, graded GEM MINT 9.5 by Beckett — a crown jewel in any hockey card
collection. Lemieux made an immediate impact upon entering the NHL, recording 100 points (43
goals, 57 assists) in his rookie season and winning the Calder Memorial Trophy. Over his
17-season career, Lemieux amassed 690 goals and 1,033 assists, leading the Penguins to two
Stanley Cup championships and solidifying his place as one of the greatest to ever play the
game.
This pop-73 card stands among the best examples known, with only 13 higher on the Beckett
population report out of the 2,548 submitted to Beckett over the years. The Beckett holder has a chip to the top right edge otherwise it remains in good condition with minor scuffing/scratches visible on the front of the holder.
A true centerpiece for any high-end collection, this Mario Lemieux GEM MINT 9.5 rookie card
represents one of hockey’s most legendary figures.
