Returning to the key points discussed in Lot #1 regarding the 1986/87 Fleer, this 1979/80 Topps Hockey issue represents another pivotal, classic set in the hobby. This release is especially significant as it includes the rookie card of Wayne Gretzky, widely regarded as possibly the greatest hockey player of all time.

Additionally, this wax box stands out due to its scarcity. Compared to other major sports wax boxes from 1975 through 1988, we encounter significantly fewer examples of this issue. The packs are fresh and clean, with the majority grading as NM-MT, making this a highly desirable item.

This is an essential acquisition for any advanced unopened hockey collector!
