What to Expect
While the number of watchers on hockey cards rarely gets as high as other mainstream sports like basketball, baseball, and football, the biggest Wayne Gretzky cards will sometimes have 100 or more watchers or bids.
The Great One’s popularity is evident with his cards littered all over the top 75 each week. In fact, at the time of writing, Gretzky’s 1979 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) and Topps rookies make six total appearances in the top 75, with an autographed OPC sitting at #1 with 183 watchers!
But this super rare Grand Finale from 1997 SPx particularly caught our attention in the hot list.
Outside of Gretzky, the most watched hockey cards on eBay also include current and future Hall of Famers such as Sidney Crosby, Mario Lemieux, Alexander Ovechkin, and Patrick Roy.
You’ll also commonly find rookie cards, game used patch cards, and autographs of superstars in their prime like Connor McDavid, and Nathan MacKinnon, or even the hotly anticipated Blackhawks center (or centre for our Canadian friends) Connor Bedard.

Keep in mind seasonality and performance on the ice — during the season or especially in the playoffs — will impact the demand for players making the list day to day.
