Condition Details

The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom. Corners look sharp with minimal fraying. Edge of the card shows the characteristic rough-cut common for O-Pee-Chee stock. No visible surface scratches or creases through the sleeve.

Grading Recommendation

Worth grading if the surface is clean. This is Gretzky's first card as a Los Angeles King. Given the high multiplier for a potential PSA 10, professional grading could significantly increase value.

Card Description

Features Wayne Gretzky in his Los Angeles Kings home jersey. Top left displays 'KINGS', bottom right displays 'WAYNE GRETZKY • C'. The O-Pee-Chee logo is visible on the bottom left side of the inner frame.

Notable Features

Features the iconic O-Pee-Chee 'rough cut' edges. This specific card marks the transition from the Edmonton Oilers to the L.A. Kings, making it highly collectible.

Authentication Notes

The O-Pee-Chee logo and rough-cut edges are consistent with authentic 1988 stock. Printing of the yellow nameplate and black borders shows correct ink saturation without the dot patterns found in low-quality reprints.
