From the dawning of an era that would see Wayne Gretzky rack up record upon record while leading the Edmonton Oilers to multiple Stanley Cup triumphs comes his cherished O-Pee-Chee rookie card, prompting a look back at his wizardry. Four 200-plus point seasons, (when the previous record was Esposito’s 152), a 92-goal campaign (shattering Phil's record of 76), 50 goals in 39(!) games and so many other, until that time, unheard of numbers propelled Wayne's coveted rookie card to always-in-demand status, with collectors from all segments of the hobby becoming aware in recent times of the importance of "The Great One's" RC. Housed in a good condition PSA holder that sports a few scratches and scuffs over both sides worth mentioning for accuracy, comes this copy of Wayne's iconic first-year card that has been signed by "The Great One" with a blue marker ink signature that displays without issue and has been deemed to be authentic after inspection at PSA. For the card itself, not having been given a technical grade by the company, the specimen is a low-grade example that shows numerous creases as well as edge and corner wear, centering issues and staining at the top border area of the front. Still alluring due to the fact that its a copy of what is likely the most important hockey card of all-time which has been signed by the game's greatest player, don't miss out on this one for your all-important collection.
