Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Quite likely the most recognizable hockey card of all-time, young phenom Wayne Gretzky is pictured here on his 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee rookie card wearing his Oilers WHA uniform in an image from the previous season. Encapsulated by the graders at KSA who have deemed it worthy of a VGE 4, the card displays with pleasing centering while wear is present at all four corners as well as on the edges. Showing small wrinkles at both of the top corners as well as the bottom right one on the front, a light crease is seen at the right edge as well, traveling towards the middle of the iconic cardboard for about one inch. A surface scratch is also observed, extending through the middle of Wayne’s body. Housed in a KSA holder, light scratches are seen over both sides.
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.
