Perhaps the best offensive duo of the 1980’s as well as maybe the history of the National Hockey League, those of you seeking perfection will find it with this 1983-84 O-Pee-Chee Oilers highlights card of Wayne Gretzky and batterymate Mark Messier. Indeed, perfect in the eyes of PSA, the firm has awarded card #23 of the 1983-84 set its most sought-after grade of GEM MT 10. Many will notice right away the card’s smooth edges and striking corners with a stellar surface on both the front and reverse adding to the list of incredible attributes this example carries. The card itself details the accomplishments of the Gretzky/Messier scoring duo of the year prior with the pair collectively putting up a miraculous total of 302 points and leading the Oilers to a then NHL record of 424 goals which they would best the following season, a record that still stands today. In terms of where this card stands in the PSA Population Report, the company has examined over 1100 of this specific card (1124 to be exact) with only 100 receiving the prestigious GEM MT 10 grade. Of course, encased in a PSA holder, it should be mentioned for accuracy’s sake that it does display subtle light but not-drastic scratches on both the front and back though not taking away from the beauty of the piece as a whole as it awaits ready to join your collection.
