1985 O-Pee-chee hockey card of former Pittsburgh Penguins’ great Mario Lemieux. Wayne Gretzky had been dubbed “The Great One”, and Lemieux, under intense pressure early in his career to match Gretzky’s exploits, was called “The Next One”. Lemieux met the high expectations head on and had a great career under some tough circumstances, playing 17 seasons in the NHL and helping the Penguins win 2 Stanley Cups, winning the Hart Trophy as league MVP 3 times and Art Ross Trophy as leading scorer 6 times. He was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 1993 and forced to temporarily retire to receive treatments, and suffered from chronic back pain most of his career. Lemieux, who basically saved the Pittsburgh franchise from bankruptcy and is now the team’s principal owner, was inducted into Hockey’s Hall of Fame immediately upon retiring, as the traditional waiting period was waived.
