Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/25/2024
Found in O-Pee-Chee packs that contained 14 cards and that cost kids/collectors 20 cents during the 1979-80 season were blue-bordered cards like these, with that of Wayne Gretzky surely coveted by season’s end as the scrawny teenage whiz kid from Brantford, Ontario proved he could “play with the big boys”…and how! Nobody totaled more points than Wayne and now no other hockey rookie card carries more appeal among the hobby’s masses than iconic #18, offered here after receiving a designation of "AUTHENTIC" at PSA headquarters. Off-center from both left-to-right and top-to-bottom with light wear to the corners and edges, the card is still a pleasing copy of “The Great One’s” first year offering and retains gorgeous colours for its effort, the card was just returned from its encapsulation at PSA headquarters and was likely deemed to be "AUTHENTIC" due to being undersized. Housed in a flawless and fresh PSA holder, the card is sure to be a pleasing and cost effective addition to any vintage collection still void of the all-important blue bordered rookie offering.
