The 08-09 O-Pee-Chee set did a parallel set with the cards in the 79 style. The picture is not the same but it is kind of a reprint of the 79 card.

mheilenman is the closest to what the card looks like. I'll put a picture of front and back in the Mystery card Forum.

Chuck you could be right about it being counterfeit. It also came with a plaque that has his name on it and it cost me $10. The guy I bought it from was also selling single copies of the card for $3.

So now we have switched gears from it being a reprint to possibly being counterfeit.

If it's not a reprint, and it was being sold with a plaque for $10, and alone for $3, then it's definitely counterfeit. I don't think you managed to snag a real Gretzky rookie for that kind of deal.

However, here's an eBay auction for a "vintage" reprint. Zooming in on the image, nowhere does it say "Reprint" so perhaps it's something like that?

And here's one other one that carries no indication it's a reprint except the graded company's label.

That’s it jasongerman9. That’s the exact card I have in the plaque, in both auctions.
