The chance at a high grade Wayne Gretzky Topps rookie card highlights this interesting ensemble which features an opened pack of 1979-80 Topps cards and ten low grade Gretz rookies. The unopened pack has been authenticated and encapsulated by GAI and received a mark of NM-MT+ 8.5. Two of the Gretzky rookie cards, one an O-Pee-Chee and the other a Topps, include writing on the front and are slabbed "1 FP" by KSA. Four additional O-Pee-Chee examples of card #18 are Poor, with wear and multiple creases the grade-lowering flaws. Another is free of creases but is affected by two punch holes, while another is miscut with a diamond cut and has a four-digit number stamped on the front and the same "3363" written on the back in blue ink. Writing in blue ink and scotch tape are discovered on the reverse of the final OPC entry. One raw Topps RC is off-centered and also P, with heavy side-to-side creases. We're able to rave about Wayne's mind-boggling scoring feats, but admittedly, not about the condition here. That wax pack though is attractive indeed!
