Wayne Gretzky started in the NHL and the Islanders started their four-year reign as Stanley Cup champs the season that blue-bordered cards were found by collectors in (20-cent) O-Pee-Chee packs, with The Great One’s rookie card that highlights this ensemble receiving a 5 EX assessment from KSA. The centering is obviously off, with a top right corner ding and very lightly touched bottom corners the only flaws that we spot. As for the rest, EX-MT and NM contributors come around occasionally but are the minority, with dinged corners, corner wear and intermittent creases sending the majority to the VG, VG+ and VG-EX realm, with EXs next most plentiful. Best among the keys/stars are 175-Howe (EX) and 150-Dryden (EX+), with a diamond cut affecting an otherwise off-centered and EX+ 185-Hull card. A second-year Mike Bossy card is creased and VG, with the Oilers team logo/checklist creased and marked and the Whalers checklist and five team photo/checklists also marked. Among the three checklists, one is partially marked, with the other two creased. A real decent Gretzky RC and....the rest of a classic issue will be coming your way if you’re the high bidder here.
