The current world record for a #18 1979-80 Wayne GretzkyO-Pee-Chee Rookie Card is $94,162.80.
The specimen, graded by industry-recognized card grading company PSA, was determined worthy of a GEM MINT 10 grade thus making it a perfect card - all things considered.
Some outrage and denouncement exist over the grade assessed due to what appears to be rough edges. O-Pee-Chee, at the time, used wire cutters to cut individual cards from card stock sheets. These wires would dull rather quickly and were not replaced near as often as one would expect. Considering that during this era, sports cards were still selling for pennies a piece and living their lives as a trade stimulator for other products, the quality control was not what it is today in terms of high-end collectible cards that have saturated the market in the last two decades.
When purchasing investment-grade sports cards, buying graded cards from reputable companies is still likely the better choice - along with due diligence and extensive industry knowledge. The difference between a Gretzky Grade 9.5 versus Grade 10 GEM MINT could yield a difference of several tens of thousands of dollars.
i would say no more than $400-$420. WGA authenticated ones are worth much more, he owns the company, they are worth probably around $550-$570, they're by FAR the most reputable when it comes to his stuff. When he dies, of course it would go up in value, as will the WGA ones, but that won't be for a while yet. He's a pretty healthy guy.
It's worth a few dollars, if someone wants to pay it. Because no Racers cards of Gretzky were produced in the 1970s. There's a "National Sports Card" card that was mass-produced in the early 1990s, and some crooked dealers tried to sell it as a "1978 rookie." It's not. Gretzky's best cards are the 1979-80 Topps and OPC cards (OPC is valued higher), as well as an oversized 1979 Sportscaster card that's pretty sweet.
There are very minor differences between an original card & reprint card...getting the card grades by a top tiered grading company is your best bet to distinguish between the them...new & better reprints are being printed everyday & making it that much harder to tell any differences...
Many of the rookie cards are valued in price close to $75. The amount that one can expect will vary depending upon their condition and how they are being displayed.
I've seen these sell on eBay before and it was nowhere near the price that the previos poster gave you. I've seen them sell for between $10-$30. I don't know where the previous price came from but seeing as his rookie card isn't even worth the previous price listed, why would a flashback reprint be worth more?
Wayne Gretzky Flashback Rookie Cardim pretty sure their worth 2500$ to 5000$ dollars depends where you trade it in. My uncle's friend use to have one and he put it in an auction and got 3,500 for it but that was a few years back so it could be more.it depends on where you buy it, and who you buy it from.
The O-Pee-Chee card is a Canadian issue and had a much smaller print run than the Topps. Being that hockey is mostly a Canadian sport, all O-Pee-Chee hockey cards are usually more valuable than the Topps counter-issue. O-Pee-Chee is valued at about $900 where as the Topps is about $550.
What is the value of a "Score" 1991 card in mint condition of Wayne Gretzky worth along with a picture of his entire team then and a Wayne Gretzky "score card # 122 in mint condition. Water271@ca.rr.com
Value..........About $10 CDN. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to my research, the card is valued at only $8 on paper, and that's for a card in absolutely pristine, mint condition. That's slightly lower that the figure Jim Bunting quoted, so there may be regional differences in value depending on the popularity of the player. If you want a quick way to value a card and you've got Internet access, just do an advanced search of completed eBay auctions and look to see if any Palmateer RCs have been sold. That will give you factual data about what people are willing to pay for this card, regardless of what a book or Jim Bunting or I tell you. Over the last month or so, people have been willing to pay about $2.50, so it's not a hot time for a Palmateer rookie. The good news is that his memorabilia cards are raking in dough, so this is a great time to own or sell a jersey card, an autograph card, etc.
he lived the top floor of the devil house he combined 8 penthouse suits into one big one ,and that was across the street from the tin palace earls where he asked his wife to marry him.
Gretzky's first pro game was in 1978-79 season with the Indianapolis Racers of the WHA. He was traded to the Edmonton Oilers also of the WHA the same season. The 1979-80 season the WHA was absorbed by the NHL. Dave
