This 1983-84 O Pee Chee hockey card honours Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier, the two offensive leaders of the Edmonton Oilers.The Oilers scored a NHL record 424 goals in the 1982-83 season, with Gretzky leading the way with 71 goals and 196 points. Mark Messier added 48 goals and 106 points.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but what I find interesting is that even though OPC honored this record breaking performance with a special card, they did not do the same the next season when Gretzky and Messier led the Oilers to a 446 goal season, a NHL record that still stands today.

So is this card worth anything?
