Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
An inviting example of Wayne Gretzky’s desirable 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee rookie card is offered here, with Beckett's BVG department responsible for inspecting and assessing famous card #18, rendering an alluring 8 NM-MT verdict. The image of the Brantford, Ontario phenom is from his first professional season with the World Hockey Association's Edmonton Oilers, before the team’s entry into the NHL a year later. A white speck at the bottom right corner and a touched bottom left corner (only visible when viewing the reverse) are to note, with the back mentioning how Wayne was the best prospect to turn pro since Guy Lafleur. There was no predicting though that The Great One would pulverize the NHL record book, setting some 60 records in his without-parallel career, his performances rendering his rookie card an absolute must-have. With no scratches or scuffs to the Beckett holder, this Gretz RC will render you pleased and proud when it arrives.
