1979 O-pee-chee Wayne Gretzky #18

The first impression is very strong and top tier, while a longer look does reveal some flaws such as print lines and a registration shift, though they don't affect beauty very much.

The overall eye appeal is top tier. On a close, long look, some vertical print lines, one fish eye, and the centering of the oil dot serve to prevent even higher badges.

A very attractive example of an iconic card.

This is one of the better specimens. A classic and only very minor centering is what impacts for me.

A very handsome example that justifies the technical grade. That said, if the oil drop was placed better, this would be even higher for me. Bonus points as well for having the double blue lines on the back that many believe indicates that this would have come from the earliest print runs of the 79 OPC set. A great card of the Great One!

nice high end looking card of this card. The Colors do not POP as i have seen on other examples. But it is a clean card with minimal issues and even with it being off centered the way the oiler banner into the puck is it makes the border issue less noticeable. I really enjoy the overall look

Fairly well-centered. PD in the background. Oil drop on the bottom right is off-centered. Good example overall.
