(LOT 84)
1979 O-Pee-Chee # 18 Wayne Gretzky Rookie PSA 8.5 NM-MT+
KING OF THE ICE!!!... There are a handful of standout athletes that stand tall as the best at their respective sports with some of those including Babe Ruth in baseball, Michael Jordan in basketball, Pele in Soccer, Muhammad Ali in boxing, Secretariat in horse racing and none other than Wayne Gretzky in hockey. True, while some enthusiasts still cite Bobby Orr as hockey's finest "peak value" player, Wayne Gretzky's seemingly infinite number of records leave little room for argument.

Amazing as it may seem, "The Great One" holds 61 "official" hockey records... 61 records... including the most lifetime goals (894), assists (1,963) and total points (2,857), with Gretzky's closest competitor nearly 1,000 points behind! This remarkable disparity has never been realized in any sport, with Gretzky also accumulating single season records as well (92 goals; 163 assists; 215 points). Yet one of his most miraculous feats was achieved between the 1981 and '85 seasons whereby Gretzky tallied 1,036 points in a five season stretch, netting over 200 points four of those seasons and averaging 207 points per season!

Offered here is the Greatest Hockey Card ever issued in a NM-MT+ 8.5 holder. WOW, we have it and you can get it. With only 1 card grading the impossible PSA 10, this card is next in line. Mr. Gretzky's Rookie card from the 1979 Topps series is up for sale. Beautiful powder blue background with sharp corners and perfect centering. Don't skate by this one.
