This 1979 Topps Wayne Gretzky #18 represents the official mainstream rookie card of hockey's all-time leading scorer, graded PSA 6 EX-MT. Issued during Gretzky's debut NHL campaign following the WHA-NHL merger, the 1979 Topps hockey set serves as a landmark late-1970s release, widely recognized for its vibrant blue borders that make high-grade condition preservation notoriously difficult. The PSA population report records 2,408 copies evaluated at the EX-MT 6 tier.
The front displays Gretzky in his Edmonton Oilers jersey inside the classic skate-line border design, while the reverse outlines his initial professional record with the Indianapolis Racers and Oilers. Gretzky retired as a four-time Stanley Cup champion, nine-time Hart Trophy winner, and the holder of 61 official NHL records, including the career marks for total goals, assists, and points. As the foundational rookie card of the sport's premier icon, the #18 Topps issue remains an anchor collectible of vintage hockey card history.Show more
