Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/26/2021
Freshly graded at PSA headquarters, this example of Wayne Gretzky’s headline-grabbing 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee rookie card just missed NM recognition, receiving a mark of EX-MT+ 6.5 and perfect for those working on a run of various condition Gretz rookies! Or, of course, for those of you yet to secure a RC of hockey’s most prolific offensive superstar. Centering and smooth edges are appreciated attributes, with enough corner wear, notably at the top and bottom left corners, denying it a higher assessment. The two thin blue lines on the back, (through the puck at the bottom of the cartoon), are an indication, in the eyes of some hobbyists, of a first print run, while others dispel that notion. If you’ve had the notion to acquire a Wayne Gretzky rookie card, or to add to your portfolio, this one may be a wise choice. It rests in a scratch-free PSA holder and will be enjoyable to hold and behold.
