Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
Displaying with overall fairly pleasing centering to speak of and of course a rough cut edge that O-Pee-Chee releases of the era are known for, the iconic rookie card of Wayne Gretzky, pictured with his Titan stick in hand in an image from a WHA game the year prior, in this case has been assessed a grade of VG 3 by Canadian grading company KSA. With a clean reverse seen on the opposite side, the front of the card shows light surface bubbling atop Wayne’s right knee and at the coveted cardboard’s right edge while all four corners show wear with the heaviest of it being present at the top two (2) points. The teenage magician sure looked good in his first NHL season and you likely know what happened over the next two decades of his storied National Hockey League career. The KSA holder shows light scratches and scuffs over both sides worth mentioning for accuracy.
It must be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not correspond to those currently employed by PSA, BGS or SGC. The outcome of an attempted cross-over of this piece through any of those services, then, would be uncertain and cannot be guaranteed.
