Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/1/2022
An attractive and alluring example of Wayne Gretzky’s iconic rookie card is on the auction block here, in a KSA holder labeled 7 NM. Bright vivid colors, precise registration, an apparent unblemished surface and smooth edges all strike the beholder, with a white speck at three corners observed. The card pictures Wayne as a teenager and not long after the Edmonton Oilers acquired the budding star from the Indianapolis Racers of the WHA. After impressing with a 110-point season in his first year as a pro, Wayne was in the midst of a 137-point rookie NHL campaign when cards like this were discovered in O-Pee-Chee wax packs, with only a small percentage actually boasting smooth edges like this splendid specimen. The whiz kid from Brantford, Ontario would set the NHL on fire during the 1980s and beyond, rendering his rookie card oh so desirable. A superb example in a scratch-free KSA holder is what you’ll be scoring if you’re the astute high bidder here.
