Not rare but oh so coveted is the rookie card of Wayne Gretzky, the young man from Brantford, Ontario who rewrote much of the NHL record book while putting up offensive numbers that very few could have ever fathomed. This O-Pee-Chee example of famous card #18 has been given a mark of 5 EXCELLENT by Beckett, with wear at the four corners, along with light edge wear visible. Some contend that the two thin blue parallel horizontal lines on the back of the card, at the bottom of the comic and which go through the puck, mean that such examples are from O-Pee-Chee's first print run in 1979-80. With the mention of "blue lines" comes this thought/question: has there ever been a player more dangerous from the blue line in than Wayne Gretzky? We think not. What a wizard was Wayne!
