Description
This is the '1500 Points' Header Card from the Wayne Gretzky Heroes subset of the 1991-92 Upper Deck Hockey set. The card features a stunning horizontal artistic layout with three images of 'The Great One' in his Kings and Oilers uniforms, set against a blue background with a large silver '1500' logo. It served as the introductory card to the Gretzky Heroes insert series.
Key Features
Features the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky. Iconic early 90s Upper Deck design. Part of the popular 'Heroes' subset that included limited autographs (though this is the base header version).
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card features Upper Deck's signature hologram on the reverse. Mass-produced in the 'Junk Wax' era, so counterfeits are almost non-existent for this specific base header card.
Flaws to Note
The blue borders are extremely prone to edge chipping and corner wear which shows up as white spots. Top-to-bottom and side-to-side centering is often uneven. Surface scratches on the glossy finish are common.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC, or Sportlots. Best sold as part of a set or in a bulk Gretzky lot to justify shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is absolutely flawless (Potential PSA 10). The cost of grading usually exceeds the market value for mid-grade copies. Use 'Wayne Gretzky Heroes Header' in the title.
