The 1979 Topps cards had a much cleaner cut. I have seen plenty of Gretzky Topps rookies with a smooth cut. They also have a deeper blue. Overall the Topps card can be a bit more attractive. As mentioned earlier, they were cut in different factories and the 2 companies used different methods of cutting their cards.
If you are looking at a Topps rookie, then the smooth cut isn't a reason to avoid the card. |

I know this post started out about Hockey cards, but just wanted to say I have a '72 OPC Clemente that has a left border that is so rough it resembles a fringe blanket. I think it's beautiful, and it's one of my favorite cards in my collection!
