Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/19/2023
A pleasing copy of “The Great One’s” all-important second year card 1980-81 O-Pee-Chee card is up for grabs here, with this particular copy of card #250 having been deemed worthy of a NM-MT+ 8.5 designation after inspection by the graders at PSA. Displaying just the slightest bit off-center from left-to-right over the front, the card benefits from largely avoiding the rough cut edges that O-Pee-Chee releases of the era are known for, showcasing just a bit of fuzziness along the right edge. Surely a coveted piece of cardboard, the card retains beautiful colours, sharp corners and crisp white borders along with smooth and clean surfaces that collectors would expect of a specimen that has garnered such a high mark. Wayne’s statistics from his first pro season in the World Hockey Association and his first 51 goals and 137 points in the NHL are available for viewing on the back and that’s where part of the write-up reads, “Possessed with incredible instincts and fine athletic ability.” A fine addition to your encapsulated Gretzky/’80-81 OPC collection this Wayne will be, with the PSA holder remaining virtually flaw free when held and gawked at.
