From the dawning of an era that would see Wayne Gretzky rack up record upon record while leading the Edmonton Oilers to multiple Stanley Cup triumphs comes his cherished O-Pee-Chee rookie card, prompting a look back at his wizardry. Four 200-plus point seasons, (when the previous record was Esposito’s 152), a 92-goal campaign (shattering Phil's record of 76), 50 goals in 39(!) games and so many other, until that time, unheard of numbers propelled Wayne's coveted rookie card to always-in-demand status, with collectors from all segments of the hobby now aware, if they weren’t already, of the importance of The Great One's RC. PSA viewed this example of O-Pee-Chee's famous card number 18 deserving of NM 7 status some years ago, with smooth edge and an apparent blemish-free surface among its attributes, while light wear at three corners is also to note. The rookie card of the kingpin of the 1980s' Oilers' record-setting team awaits your Gretzky/RC portfolio, with a few scratches to the front of the PSA holder observed.
