But the most prized possession up for auction that would appeal most to Edmontonians is a PSA 9 Wayne Gretzky 1979 O-Pee-Chee Rookie card.

The iconic card of Gretzky is possibly the most important card in the hockey hobby as he’s said to have reshaped the league with his pinpoint passing, scoring and overall on-ice vision.
The starting bid for the rare piece of memorabilia was $10,000. It currently sits at $139,000.
Lelands has handled some of the largest landmark auctions, fetching world record prices for iconic items including Babe Ruth’s 1927 Yankees World Series ring for $2,093,927.
