Thanks, James, and good luck! Once you get yours, please post it here.

Gorgeous card, Jeff! Love that rough cut down the left side.

I would be happy with that too, Jeff. Thanks to both of you giving me some awesome examples to strive for.

Just make sure you don't settle for a Topps Gretzky. It is like owning a cheap knockoff. Everyone I know who settled for the Topps version because it was more affordable, or because they could get a high grade for cheap, ended up selling it after awhile. Whenever they looked at it, they would sigh and wish it was OPC. Just save your money and go for the right one first. An OPC PSA 7 or better, or you will regret it and end up upgrading later.

I appreciate that... I found myself today looking at Topps prices on eBay saying "does it really matter?" then I looked at the back and yes, it does. OPC or bust.
