Year: 1999

Set: Upper Deck Wayne Gretzky Living Legend (Rate)

Card: #51 Wayne Gretzky (vs Pittsburgh)

“ Wayne made over 2 points in every game against Penguins. That's sick. His point average in NHL is "just" 1,92 so Väinö, as we call him in Finland, had fun time against Pittsburgh. This set has never been my cup of tea, though. ” -Duke

“ The second greatest player ever , actually not a bad set either . ” -uncaian

“ He was pretty good.... ” -carthage44

“ The Great One. The player, not the card or product. ” -vrooomed

“ Sorry I'm negative on this one. Reminds me of the MVP sets. Hard to read foil lettering Oh it says "Gretzky Vs." I thought it was "Gretzky Va." What they putting hometowns on card fronts now? Is that an anniversary logo in the lower right? Can't tell. Maybe it says "Living Legend?" Oh Upper Deck had so much promise when it first started circa 1991. In just a few short years it started hoovering. ” -captkirk42

“ Not a fan of this. The facial expression is not becoming. The card looks like it can't make up its mind if it is a card or a photo. I love Gretzky, not the card. ” -muskie027

I want to know why the LA Kings basically used the Chevrolet logo for years...with just a slight modification of course. Here's a closeup of my brother's car. Very similar.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

It is also Gretzky's birthday today -- another RCOTD coincidence!
