(LOT 85)
1985 O-Pee-Chee #9 Mario Lemieux Rookie PSA 10 GEM MINT
HOT ROOKIE!!!... This is the most important rookie card of, arguably, hockey's most gifted player. Mario Lemieux's size and skill made him the most feared player in the league and the heir-apparent to Wayne Gretzky as the NHL's best player. Lemieux had to deal with his share of adversity during his career, which included a few nagging injuries and a battle with Hodgkin's disease. The lingering effects of radiation treatment and chronic back problems forced Lemieux to retire.

Despite all of the problems Lemieux faced, he was still able to pile up some very impressive numbers and achieve what few have done. He finished with 690 goals scored and 1033 assists (1,723 points) in his career. Lemieux won many awards in his career including, but not limited to, the NHL Rookie of the Year, six Art Ross Trophies, three Hart Trophies, two Conn Smythe Trophies, one Calder Trophy and one Masterton Trophy. This nine-time NHL All-Star selection and two-time Stanley Cup champion was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997.

You can't get any better than this one. GEM MINT Rookie card from 1985/86. One of the best to lace them up on the ice. Look no further, we have it!! High grade Rookies are on fire. Get this one and hold on to it for a few years!!!
