Surely a unique assembly here to pique the interest of Wayne Gretzky and autograph enthusiasts, with three early Gretz blue ballpoint signatures appearing on GWG Jeans 5" by 7" promo pictures, (one of them encapsulated and PSA/DNA certified), among the prizes. Recently slabbed by Beckett, with the signatures deemed authentic by JSA, with certification numbers on the labels are seven issues, including Wayne's second-year (1980-81) Topps card, along with All-Star and Scoring Leader cards from the same year. Others are '82-83 Post Cereal (mini card), two different '83-84 Topps stickers (#s 325 and 326) and a swell dual-signed '98-99 Upper Deck McDonald's card. The latter pictures and is autographed by both Wayne and his father, Walter Gretzky - cool. An '82-83 O-Pee-Chee Scoring Leader card #243 is graded NM-MT 8 by PSA, with the auto certified, while a '92-93 OPC 25th Anniversary Series card features a sig graded "10". Please see our website for the not-slabbed contributors to this fascinating stash.
Eight others, shown to a Gretzky expert and confirmed to include authentic Wayne signatures, include four from the Neilson's Gretzky set (#s 3, 8, 16 and 47), as well as '81-82 Topps #52-Oilers Leaders, '82-83 OPC #106, '84-85 #208-All-Star and '90-91 Upper Deck #54. Other than the Neilson's entries, which exhibit wear, the cards overall are in pleasing condition with no obvious/unsightly flaws. There is staining to be aware of on the two "loose" GWG promo pictures, with an additional not-signed example tossed-in. Numerous possibilities with this killer collection.
