Smooth edges and good centering are what strike the beholder of this rookie card of the young man who would strike fear into opposing defencemen and goaltenders for two decades as they attempted to stop the usually unstoppable Wayne Gretzky. Wayne’s 1979-80 Topps rookie card is encapsulated by Beckett, earning NM-MT 8 recognition. The naked eye can spot a lightly touched upper left corner and a similar lower right corner. The reverse lists Wayne’s 1978-79 WHA statistics and mentions “Wayne is considered the best prospect to turn professional since Guy Lafleur.” Yes, every now and then someone extra-special comes along. Forever popular and in demand will be The Great One’s card #18, issued during his first NHL season.
