Making his professional hockey debut at the tender age of 17 with the fact relayed via the comic on the back of the card, a note listing Wayne Gretzky as the best prospect since Guy Lafleur is also noted. Not too shabby of a comparison. Pictured in his WHA Edmonton Oilers uniform, offered here is this copy of Wayne’s iconic and sought after 1979-80 Topps rookie card. #18 in the 264-card set, this particular example has been inspected and slabbed by PSA, with the card having earned a mark of VG-EX 4. Off-center right-to-left and retaining gorgeous colours over the front with a clean reverse, the cardboard shows wear to the corners and edges with a slight crease/wrinkle at the bottom right corner. A small mark is seen on the back near the stick blade of the comic player as well. Housed in a PSA holder that shows scratches and scuffs over each side, this one awaits its lucky winning bidder.
