For once, we'll start with, not the all important Wayne Gretzky rookie card, but with the rest of this downright impressive 1979-80 set. Housed in binder pages, the cards look great, with good centering and smooth edges abounding and striking the beholder. Numerous pulls/examinations are further pleasing, revealing sharp, flat, pack-fresh-like cards exhibiting little to no handling/wear. Sure, we spot a white spec on a corner here and there and less-than-perfect centering exceptions, but again, overall, we're impressed. We'd say the vast majority are NM or better, with possibly a majority NM-MT or better. Checklists and team checklists are not marked, with off-centered checklists and a similar second-year Mike Bossy to mention. As for the Gretzky, it too, at first glance, looks real nice but a considerable ding to the lower right corner has left diagonal corner creases, dropping card #18 to VG+ in our book. Numerous possibilities with this inviting ensemble.
