We would say perfectly centered is this curious example of Wayne Gretzky's second-year O-Pee-Chee card, KSA recently assessing card #250 from 1980-81 at 8 NMM. Other than the alluring centering, what strikes the beholder is a black speck neat the tip of the top right corner. Upon magnification, it can be determined that it is not a black mark on the card, but rather a lint-like fragment, likely originating from the black section that frames the card, that settled there just prior to encapsulation, if you follow. Gretzky's NHL rookie season stats of 51 goals and 137 points are viewable on the back, just up from where a little (bottom) edge chipping is spotted. We do not detect any scratches to the KSA holder itself. Wayne in '80-81 opened more eyes, hit Titan "wand" helping him to up his totals to 55 goals and 164 points.
