Ice, ice baby

 

 
The E-Bay algorithm 
sent many Canadians
a link to this special today,
Wayne Gretzky's rookie card. 
 
Description: 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee #18 Wayne Gretzky RC. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. 
Has Mint corners and 
ZERO snow in the background. 
Very strong. 
Looks like a higher quality card than the grade assigned.  Much more desirable first printing with the strongly preferred proper darker blue and simply a superior factory product.  Original one owner card submitted only once. 
 
It's in Florida.
$50,000 US,
$66,614.97 C 
 
Oilers owner Peter Pocklington
had a warehouse full of signed
Gretzky Titan 2020 hockey sticks.
The kid spent days scrawling
WGretzky on 'em. 

They were used as comps,
favors, promotion.
 
How many of these cards
does Pock have in a desk drawer?
