Wayne Gretzky RC HELP

[justinanika]

Found this Wayne Gretzky card with a silver coin and was wondering if you guys think this is a real Wayne RC or a fake... Might be hard to tell by the pic but any help would be appreciated as I never dealt much with cards from the 70's & 80's

Also if anyone has ever seen the coin before, not sure where it was issued form, says it is one Troy ounce so if it is indeed silver looking at a value of around 30-50 $ for the silver alone.

I don't know about the coin but judging by the cuts and the spot on the shoulder the Gretzky looks legit, and in decent shape too.

Here's a couple of auctions with the coin:

One has a COA so the coin seems legit. Regarding the card, if it's legit, it's a nice example for sure.

Scott,

No scans. The card is up for auction this Saturday as part of an estate sale, guy was a collector of pretty much everything by the looks of it, but nothing specific so this as far as I can tell from the listing this is the only hockey card up for grabs.

I figured it would be tough to tell if it's real from the photo, and it does look in great shape. The coin I believe is worth around 60-75 $

Anyone have idea of a value for the card? It looks good enough to grade should it be real.

Last thing I want to do is get into a bidding war with someone, I'm hoping I can snag it for under 300$

Thanks everyone for the help so far.

Well I went and saw the card in person, looked to be in very good shape, and from what I have learned it appeared to be real and a 1st print run.

The card and coin sold for 330$ I went to bid 340 but the auctioneer had already sold it, thats why i hate live autions, everything happens so fast... oh well, next time.
