Gretzky Rookie Card Appraisal

1991-92 Pro Set Wayne Gretzky Hockey Card

The item is a 1991-92 Pro Set hockey trading card featuring Wayne Gretzky. The card is displayed within a clear plastic nine-pocket page, commonly used for card storage and protection, within what appears to be a binder. The card prominently features a full-color action photo of Wayne Gretzky in his Los Angeles Kings uniform, characterized by its white base, black and red accents, the NHL shield logo on the chest, and a 'C' for captain on his right chest. Gretzky is depicted on the ice, skating with his stick on the ice. The card has a rectangular shape with a white border. The bottom of the card includes a black bar with 'Wayne Gretzky' printed in white text. To the top left of the main image, there is a small 'PRO SET' logo with the NHL shield, indicating the card manufacturer and league. A circular "All-Star" logo with the Chicago Blackhawks primary logo is visible near the bottom right corner of Gretzky's image. Above this card, partially visible, is a card for Mark Messier from the same set, confirming the era. The card appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible creases, tears, or significant surface wear directly on the card. The edges and corners seem sharp, though a full assessment would require removal from the protective sleeve. The presence within a protective sleeve suggests an owner who values preservation, indicating good handling and storage over its estimated age from the early 1990s. The clear plastic sleeve itself shows minor surface scuffs typical of handled storage pages.
