Unlike the vast majority of Wayne Gretzky rookie cards that cross our doorstep is this example of card #18 from 1979-80. Extremely infrequently do you/we see one that is miscut top-to-bottom, with a bit of black visible near the far left of the bottom edge, below Wayne's skates. We'd say otherwise EX, with a light ding to the top left corner resulting in a tiny white line, a touched top right corner, a rough right edge and a slight diamond cut. The crease-free card measures correctly and boasts an attractive scratch-free surface. Some hobbyists believe that the two thin blue lines on the reverse, through the puck/skate below the cartoon, point to O-Pee-Chee's initial print run, while others dispel the belief. At any rate, if you're the high bidder, you'll be able to boast that you own an authentic, unaltered Wayne Gretzky O-Pee-Chee rookie card....or another Gretz rookie!
