1979 OPC Hockey Series
The iconic 1979 O-Pee-Chee #18 Wayne Gretzky Rookie Card
One of the toughest card series to collect in mint condition of almost any sport, in any year, and it isn’t tough to see why. Known as “Rough Cuts”, a nickname symptomatic of an antiquated printing press that finishes using a wire instead of a knife to cut a stack of 100 to 200 cards at a time. Remove all quality control, and you have a collector’s delight. Or frustration. Read more about Gretzky Rookie #18 and the ’79 OPC Hockey series.
