Summary
This is an iconic 1985-86 O-Pee-Chee Mario Lemieux Rookie Card #9. The card presents well overall but is limited to an EX-MT 6 grade primarily due to corner wear and edge chipping. The corners show clear signs of handling and minor rounding, particularly at the bottom-left and bottom-right on the front.
Centering is moderately shifted to the left on both the front and back, which is typical for this notoriously difficult-to-grade set. The edges feature the classic jagged O-Pee-Chee rough cut, showing minor chipping but remaining structurally sound. The surface is free of any major scratches, creases, or heavy staining, retaining decent original gloss on the front.
