A trio of programs that include two from when “The Great One” was still “The Really Young Great One", plus a Hall of Fame program when Wayne’s brilliant career was capped off with induction into the Hall of Fame. From the 1978-79 season when number 99 and his WHA Edmonton Oilers met the Winnipeg Jets in Winnipeg on January 9th, 1979 is a fully intact program from that night, featuring Ted Green on the cover, and with all 64 pages complete, intact, and mark and crease-free. (The Jets would win 4-3). We also have a Jets-Oilers program from December 7, 1979, when both teams were now in the NHL, and Wayne, in his rookie season, wouldn’t garner a point in his team’s 8-3 loss to the hometown Jets, but the program shows that young Gretzky had already managed 35 points in 10 games up to then. This 96-page program is in excellent condition, completely intact, with no markings or any issues whatsoever. Finally, a 1999 HOF Induction program when Wayne, along with officials Scotty Morrison and Andy Van Hellemond, were placed in the Hall to join other legends of the game. This 106-page program, numbered as 5523, is in pristine condition and comes with an attached Upper Deck “PowerDeck” Gretzky digital trading card inside, plus a small HOF postcard.
