Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/19/2018
Considerable amounts of 1979-80 Topps wax packs were opened during Wayne Gretzky’s first NHL season, helping to produce this stash, with eight Gretzky rookie cards accompanied by an equal amount of 263-card ensembles. The latter are wrapped in clear plastic, with the “bricks” labeled “Mint” and “N. Mint”. After opening and inspecting two of them, we can confirm plenty of sharp NM-or-better cards, but also some EX+ and EX-MT examples. Checklists and team checklists are not marked. Meanwhile, the Gretzky rookies are a different story. The two nicest are in the EX to EX+ range, with another at VG-EX. There is one VG+ representative and one VG entry. Two others have had some blue magic marker touch-up at a corner or more, while one measures narrow, suggesting trimming. Numerous possibilities await the new owner of these blue border blasts from the past. Wayne’s career was indeed, quite a blast to witness.
