Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
A neat and unique Wayne Gretzky lot is offered here and is highlighted by a 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee Gretzky rookie card that has received KSA’s mark of 6 ENM. Smooth edges and bright vivid colors are attributes, with two thin horizontal blue lines at the base of the cartoon on the back pointing to, in the eyes of some, OPC’s first print run that season. A likeness to famous card #18 was part of OPC’s 25th anniversary insert set in 1992-93, with Gretzky autographing 1979 copies. The one contributing here features a classic and gorgeous blue marker autograph, is hand-numbered “813/1979” and has been graded 8 NMM, with KSA also certifying the signature and providing a Certificate of Authenticity. A Gretzky rookie card reprint is encapsulated by GMA and graded Gem MT 10, while a souvenir Oilers/Gretzky jersey is a swell bonus. The Oilers crest, as well as the numbers and letters are all sewn-on, with the size 54 Heroes of Hockey jersey by Adidas produced with a fight strap, still with its original tags and in like-new condition. Completing is an 8” by 10” photo of Gretz hoisting the Stanley Cup and a 15-card set issued through McDonald’s in 1999-00; Upper Deck Gretzky Performance for the Record.
