Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Out of the 12,365 examples PSA has graded to date, only two cards have ever graded higher! Spectacular ultra-high-grade rookie card of Wayne Gretzky, recognized as the greatest hockey player ever. This card is the "1952 Topps Mickey Mantle" of hockey cards! The Gretzky rookie will always be one of the few most important of all hockey cards, especially prized in high grade. The 1979-1980 O-Pee-Chee hockey issue is extremely condition-sensitive due to its blue flush-to-the-border design. The offered example boasts four sharp corners, bright colors, a flawless image, and outstanding centering. Clean reverse with a small black mark visible along the left edge (when held horizontally as intended). The O-Pee-Chee Gretzky card is one of the cards that is recognizable to collectors of all ages and as such is one of the great cardboard collectibles in our hobby. A world-class example of this most sought-after modern hockey card classic. Opening Bid $25,000.
