The card collector's view

The 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee #18 is the rookie — one of the most chased hockey cards in the hobby, with high-grade examples driving headline auction prices. The 1979-80 Topps #18 is the parallel chase; the Topps variant in PSA 10 is the trophy card. O-Pee-Chee and Topps releases from 1980-99 capture the Oilers, Kings, Blues, and Rangers tenure. Modern Upper Deck SP Authentic, The Cup, and Exquisite retrospective sets offer accessible signature and patch options.

About Wayne Gretzky at FreshDCards

Wayne Gretzky is The Great One — the player who outscored entire eras and broke the math of hockey. Sold from the Oilers to the Kings in 1988 in the trade that changed hockey, Gretzky put a Stanley Cup-finalist team on the California map and the NHL on US-television maps that didn't exist before. Four Cups in Edmonton (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988). Nine Hart Trophies. 894 career goals. 2,857 points. Sixty-one NHL records. The closest active player to his assist total is 800-plus assists short.
