Graded NM/MT 88 by SGC. Outstanding high-grade rookie card of Edmonton Oilers Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky, recognized by many 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 most important of all hockey cards, especially prized in high grade. The 1979-1980 O-Pee-Chee hockey issue is extremely condition-sensitive because of its blue flush-to-the-border design. The offered example has vibrant colors, superb image quality, strong corners, and excellent centering. Clean reverse. A tremendous high-grade example of this most sought-after modern hockey-card classic.
