Phil is right, that PSA 9 Gretzky is extremely poor for the grade, may not even get an 8 if resubbed today. Whoever bought that card just burned about $95K to get themselves a little piece of paper with the number 9 on it. The centering issue is what I refer to as "Tilt"; when the card itself is a perfect rectangle with four 90 degree corners but the sheet was placed in the cutter at a slight angle so the image appears tilted on the cardboard canvas. Versus when the cutting blades did not cut a perfect rectangle so the card's corners are not four 90 degree angles, which I refer to as "diamond cut".
99 wouldn't let UD make any Blues cards with him for years after the way Kennan and some others in the org treated him. That's why there's mo Blues mem oon that card I'm guessing...

Great context....thank you Jeremy!
TY ... I'm usually 50 percent of the way there or not at all lol, thanks Jeremy!
.... Phil in a blue and white hat? Did I fall asleep and wake up in an alternate universe?!
He secretly loves them...we all know lol
it was an accident ... wont happen again lol
I'd take that Emerald over a Future Watch anyday. Not surprised by the sale.
Same. Personally think thats a steal. Bedard's emerald auto did $26k CAD or smth
This emerald is a steal in my opinion!
Picked up a O pee chee Bedard rookie for .99 cents....
Jim Bedard 1978-79 😅
hahahahaha
@hockeycardsgongshow kinda hope he gets a canvas card of himself holding his rookie card in the near future....lol

Ahhh.....didn't know that. Good guess
Don’t like platinum autos? Wow Can’t be hockey fans
That's an interesting take. I just think the cards look better without autos.
lol the 2 aren't mutually exclusive young man!
