The Great One reigns supreme in yet another category.
What's known to be the most pristine edition of Wayne Gretzky's O-Pee-Chee rookie card from the 1979-80 season is up for bid by Goldin Auctions, and prices have reached upwards of $200,000 - more than double the record for a modern hockey card, according to Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated.
"The card is the flag bearer of the hockey market," said Ken Goldin, president of Goldin Auctions. "It is the most valuable and most sought after hockey card, by far."
The card could fetch $400,000, obliterating the previous record of a modern card set at $94,163 in 2011.
According to card grading company PSA, this particular card is the only one of 3,727 known copies that grades a perfect score of 10.
In Gretzky's rookie season, he recorded 104 points in 72 games, which, remarkably, would be his lowest total until the 1994-95 campaign.
