1979 Topps #18 PSA 6 Wayne Gretzky rookie card signed by Wayne Gretzky with the signature graded 10 and card graded PSA 6, this is a strong example of one of the most important modern hockey cards ever printed. The 1979 Topps issue is notoriously difficult to find in clean condition due to common issues with centering, print quality, and chipping along the blue borders. Gretzky’s rookie card from the 1979 Topps series marked the debut of the player who would go on to shatter every major scoring record and redefine what was possible in professional hockey. Only 18 years old when he entered the league, Gretzky tallied 137 points in his first NHL season, winning the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league’s MVP, a title he would hold for eight straight seasons. This card captured Gretzky at the very start of his journey, just before becoming the most iconic name the sport has ever known. PSA DNA Certified, Graded PSA 6. Few cards in trading card collecting carry the historic weight and cultural significance of Gretzky’s first appearance. An exceptionally rare signed example of the card that launched the career of the greatest hockey player of all time.
Wayne Gretzky, often dubbed "The Great One," is widely regarded as the most dominant and influential player in hockey history. Bursting onto the scene as a rookie with the Edmonton Oilers in the 1979–80 season, Gretzky immediately showcased a level of vision, skill, and hockey IQ that the sport had never seen before. During his rookie season, he recorded 137 points, tying for the league lead in scoring and earning the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player. Gretzky's performance during his early years in Edmonton established him as a transformative figure in the sport, contributing to the Oilers’ rapid emergence as a dominant team in the 1980s. His ability to consistently produce at an elite level helped set new standards for offensive excellence and played a significant role in popularizing hockey across North America.
