Already popular at Northlands Coliseum when he appeared on his rookie cards was Mark Messier, (the write-up on the back reading in part, “his robust style of play makes him a favorite of the Edmonton fans”), with this Mark sure to be popular among fans of high-grade material. Examined and inspected by Beckett, the graders at the company deemed this copy of Messier’s rookie offering worthy of a NM-MT 8 designation. A tad off-center right-to-left over the front, excellent corners that show only light touches of wear and surely near-perfect surfaces, the card is not exempt from the rough cut edges that O-Pee-Chee releases of the era are known for. A premium vintage offering that is sure to be a welcome addition and a big boost to your collection, the BVG holder the card is housed in remains in good condition with just a small number of scratches present over each side. Additionally, joining the first-year card, a 2002-03 Parkhurst Retro Series “Retro Game-Used Jersey” card of Messier is also included, featuring pieces of jersey and a stick used/worn by Mark embedded into the front and remaining in the raw ungraded condition range of EX-MT to NM or better.
