Presented here is arguably the most valuable modern trading card on the planet. Furthermore, this one-of-a-kind PSA graded GEM MINT 10 Wayne Gretzky rookie card transcends its sport and ranks among the premier objects in the entire field of card collecting. This incomparable showpiece features flawless colors beneath brilliant original gloss. The card's vibrant blue borders are amazingly well aligned, with four precisely pointed corners that betray no hint of circulation. The central image of the youthful Edmonton Oilers superstar is sharply rendered and notably lacks the distraction of the usually seen dot-above-shoulder printing anomaly. Finally, the distinctive O-Pee-Chee "rough-cut" edges, a pitfall aspect in many of the industry's lesser copies, reveal breathtaking, never-touched perfection. The improbability of this unassailably Gem Mint condition rarity is readily apparent when you consider that it is the only GEM MINT 10 specimen graded by PSA among 2,456 examples graded by that firm to date. With reverance to the player it pays homage to, we have aptly dubbed this card “The Great One of One”.
