With fantastic visual appeal thanks in part to bright vivid colors, precise centering and smoother-than-usual edges is the Wayne Gretzky rookie card that headlines this 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee assembly, with card #18 deemed worthy of NN+ 7.5 status at PSA. Three white corner specks, most noticeable at the bottom right, appear to be the factors that denied the eye candy a loftier grade. The accompanying 395 cards include numerous pleasing examples in the same neighborhood, with EX-MT, EX-MT+ and NM-or-better combining to dominate and joined by some EX and EX+ representatives with corner dings. The more important cards are in the superior group with however a rough left edge affecting Mike Bossy’s second-year card to note. Checklists and team checklists are unmarked, with 346-Checklist 265-396 miscut and the last two numbered cards exhibiting rubber band-caused flaws. All in all, a splendid Gretz rookie card (in a scratch-free PSA holder) and the supporting cast should satisfy upon arrival.
