Pro Set 2000th Point Appraisal

Wayne Gretzky 'The 2,000th Point' Hockey Card (Pro Set)

This item is a vintage hockey trading card featuring the legendary player Wayne Gretzky. The card commemorates his 2,000th career point. It is produced by 'Pro Set,' indicated by the prominent logo in the upper right quadrant of the card, alongside the NHL shield. The card's design features a dynamic action shot of Gretzky, clad in a Los Angeles Kings jersey (black, white, and silver colors discernible), with his stick raised in celebration or reaction during a game. The background of the action shot shows spectators in the stands, suggesting a live game setting. Vertically aligned to the right of Gretzky's image are the large numerals '2000', likely representing the year of the card's issue or the milestone it celebrates. Below the main image section, a gray band with a curved black overlay prominently displays 'WAYNE GRETZKY' in white capital letters, with 'THE 2,000TH POINT' directly underneath in a smaller font, also in white. The card appears to be made of standard card stock, with a glossy finish on the front. Based on the 'Pro Set' branding and the design typical of sports cards from that era, its estimated age is late 1980s to early 1990s, likely around 1990, given '2000' is part of the card's design, not a year of release in the traditional sense, but refers to his 2000th point achieved in 1990. The physical condition, as observed from the image, appears to be good with sharp corners and no visible creases, tears, or significant surface wear, suggesting it could be near mint or excellent condition. The colors are vibrant and well-preserved. This is a common card from a mass-produced set, but its appeal lies in featuring a historic moment for one of hockey's greatest players. The craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced trading cards of the era.
